Drug deaths, guess?

I know, I know. Bottom line, I'm going to do right by my wife. I just hate it that they keep making it harder for those who are LAWFULLY medicating, just to get a bunch of pillheads. (when all it will do for them, is jack the price, and increase crime to pay for it)....

Oh, and opiod scripts are only going to be good for 3 DAYS instead of a MONTH. So I'm basically going to now have 3 DAYS only to try and find a pharmacy to fill them. Lovely. (I think that's just a FL thing though). You can bet I'm not voting for any idiot who put his stamp on that nonsense.

Gazrok,

I'm with you here. I've got family facing the same time issue, I think it's 1 week in Texas. More hassles, more waste of time.

For the weed, I can understand where your wife is at. It does help many people with real medical needs. Note my post earlier, have the drugs and keep it and it's affects at your home. No problem. She gets the help she needs, I don't worry about her breaking into my house to steal to fund her MJ needs or killing my wife while driving under the influence. Would you agree with that approach?

Just seems that with every new law concerning even prescription drugs....I'm made to feel like a damn criminal and drug dealer every time I go to the pharmacy.

She's prescribed Oxycontin even as a breakthrough pain med, and yet 9 times out of 10, I can never get it filled anywhere, because there are strict limits on how much a pharmacy can have....so they are always out. (Often, I've tried 6 different ones that day, and ALL are out of it....so at this point, we've given up, and the doc scolds us, and all we can say is....well doc, tell me where we can fill it, and we'll be glad to.) Luckily, she rarely needs it...but when she does, she basically just has to grin and bear it through the pain (or miss work, etc.).

Just sick of it.

If idiots want to OD and take crap they shouldn't be, I say let 'em. Let 'em screw themselves up. We spend way too much time and effort on it, and for what? Nothing.

Yes, a few idiots make it so hard for people who actually need the medication. Plus, if you take it on a regular schedule and that is disrupted, I've heard that detoxing is hell.

You are thinking of way different drugs for that.

Weed is far more harmless than alcohol (a legal drug). Legalizing it for recreational use, will likely instead keep folks off harder drugs, so there simply aren't as many crackheads or meth heads, to break in or drive high.
