The solution is to change regulations, not to have a free market (at least not free as in anarchy). The current regulations are the response to free markets on drugs in the early twentieth(?) and before which lead to heroin cough syrup and people dying from snake oil treatments. There needs to be regulation to ensure safety, and the regulations need to change when people exploit them.
