Heroin can get you prison, while gettin a scrip is easy and legal.
Absolutely right. My dad was a state prison guard for 30 years. He still says sneaking it in behind a postage stamp the most clever method he'd seen.Heroin can get you prison, while gettin a scrip is easy and legal.
Here vicodin is super cheap, so is morphine, oxy-whatever. . .they do such a good job masking the pain caused by other medical "treatments" that cost as much as a house. My mom died of cancer, and she was on so much morphine at one point she thought everyone in the hospital were robots. $20 for a big bottle. Her chemo? About $15000 per treatment, needed a couple a week at one point. In the end she died not technically from the cancer but from oxygen deprivation, caused by being on so much morphine.Good point, Bill! You can't get a script for heroin (but you can get scripts for morphine or opium).
- As an aside, we just had a Vicodin scandal over here. The company who pushes Vicodin got a lot of doctors and hospitals to use Vicodin instead of morphine and similar products. That ended up costing the hospitals and the doctor patients a lot more money than if they had gotten morphine, etc. instead. Vicodin is an expensive product, while morphine, etc. are cheap products having the same effect as Vicodin. So, now we have hospitals who refuse using Vicodin, and there's a debate going on about banning the methods (kick backs/gifts/bribery in various forms) pharmaceutical companies use in order to get doctors and hospitals to use certain brands of medicine. Even the Doctor's Society is now talking about banning accepting any kinda gifts to doctors from the pharmaceutical companies sales representatives, whether it's money, free medicine samples, or just a ball point pen with a company logo on.
Yeah, Delaware just legalized marijuana (up to 6 ounces a month!) and Civil unions all in the same month!
The Tea Party put up a candidate so unapealling to Delaware voters that we RAN for the polls and put every Democrat into office that ran in the whole state (well, one little Republican barely kept his seat). Elections have consequences and we are now closer to marriage equality (although civil unions is not marriage equality) and people will not have to break the law to try to extend their lives...
I do like peanut butter sandwiches. Strange.
I don't think mjp is talking about the Vicoden necessarily, Josh Rock, but that's just a hunch.Pussy.
Ha! At first I was thinking, when you talked about legalizing "civil unions", you meant unions for laborers who aren't military - and of course I wondered what that meant.[...] (although civil unions is not marriage equality) [...]
