What did the government and the doctors think was going to happen once they got patients addicted to these scripts and then pulled them off those meds? Historically---heroine addiction is NOTHING NEW.....there's enough history on this drug to speak for itself. Murder by doctors? Murder by the system? Was there a bigger plan to eradicate the folks -typically disabled or under medical treatment from the rolls of  (Govt assistance) disability through methodologies of this level? Just some curious thoughts....Moreover- knowing that once they pulled those scripts---that the patients would then defer to other methods to sustain their addictions---only fueled other illegal industries from theft to prostitution--meaning that it fueled the demand for more and more police/courts and the big business of government programs and not for profits (NGO's) to allegedly "FIX THE PROBLEMS>>>>>"................cynical thoughts.... 

So, are those who require these pain meds up front aware of the long term results that tend to escalate once their bodies have become "addicted" to such meds? I pray that more and more folks find alternative pain management tools to survive their medical needs and that they have insight of the possible results from abuse of said meds. Prayers for all the families who have become victims to this world of drugs.....

BY THE WAY: Question of the day? How much does it cost our local govt to sustain the METHADONE CLINICS OF NEO???????

How many of you are aware of the world of "FUNCTIONAL ADDICTS" who stand next to you in the work world daily? Interesting thought.....Some functional addicts are the hardest working folks I've met....sustaining their addictions. God Bless.
