People with opiate addiction have access to the cheapest and strongest narcotics ever available on the street. Unfortunately they are of uneven strength and cut with horrors that make their body shut down. I would much prefer they could just buy clean drugs from the pharma companies.

Fair point.

This is a complex societal problem having no simple solution. Unfortunately, what you proposed:

  Should allow pharma to sell drugs to the market. Allow 
  people to sue if they are harmed. Do not care about a 
  government agency preventing access to new drugs. 

Remember, every person who dies from an overdose cannot "sue if they get harmed" as they are dead.
