It's ridiculous that such a powerful narcotic is prescribed for everyday aches and pains. I can understand for terminal cancer or the such, but people are getting it for arthritis, bladder pain, and a host of other everyday pains that generations of people have dealt with, without having to use what is basically a nice, clean, legal heroin! I've heard EVERY excuse in the book as to why "I NEED it" and how "my quality of life is so much better with it"...etc.,etc.,etc., Well of COURSE life is better...you're HIGH all the damn time! It's like giving yourself an orgasm in pill form every couple of hours!!
Seriously, now...I would estimate that I've personally met or dealt with 100 people, a very conservative number I might add, who are prescribed either Oxycontin or just plain oxycodone, and out of those 100 not ONE...NOT ONE!..of them takes their meds AS PRESCRIBED, every month. Every single one of them sells or at least trades, their pills every month. It's like a sub culture!!
