Re: criminalizing the problem

The main benefactors are the police, bureaucrats, judges who can promulgate their phony, moralistic addiction agendas to aggrandize their power and publicity

@keliciousify Theres been some regular Dr.s in my area that are getting arrested for over prescribing. They aren't pill mills but they had randomly over prescribed pain meds. They never do it for out of pocket people, it's always the welfare folks. Anyway the Dr. I have now is so spineless he's letting this influence his decisions. I got a cheap MRI ($500) and finally I have a diagnosis of SEVERE degenerative disk disease but still this spineless shit will not give me any thing but .5 Loratabs.

@ClintfromNYtoVA right? my insurance wldn't even cover my mri-till ihad an auto accident that fell under the auto ins. and they knew they were getting paid.

@sgtrock68 It's all a damn shame, truly. Again, it's not just the addict-it's how this happened to begin with. It all makes me sick and I only recently even found out about "pill mills" since I upgraded my cable tv to watch that oxycontin express! shocked. I too, am a pain sufferer w/legitimate problems and still, we know it all comes w/a price anyway-i still say on one hand our society now acknoledges addiction as a DISEASE right? SO why are they throwing addicts in jail?REHAB them.(dealers no!

[keliciousify]

@keliciousify "behead ppl or is that where it's headed?" No Pun inteded

[keliciousify]

@keliciousify BTW, please someone steal my idea! PLZ! Someone w/a voice and can reach the politicians. I would kiss your feet and smile while you took all the credit b/c tht's not what I'm looking for. I dn't have the strength or connections, but if you do PLEASE and THANK YOU! (not ref'g to the dealers who are getng rich off ppls addiction-fuck them!HELP THE SICK-LEGIT PAIN OR ADDICTS-ALL SICK. This is America, not some 3rd world country tht beheads ppl or is that where it's headed?

[keliciousify]

@keliciousify Ii understand jail is a money making business, but at taxpayer expense so wouldn't one rather see their tax $'s got to a good new type of rehab as opposed to jail that i can guarantee only creates a bunch of welfare recipients b/c they can't get a job upon release. Oh and mom's or their only source of support loosing everything b/c of the little $they hv, b/c have to support their loved one-I know I can't throw my own on the street-addiction is a disease right?So jailed for disease
