***WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES*** Russians have started panic buying painkillers. The reason - a forthcoming government ban on certain pills containing codeine being sold over-the-counter. The move's aimed at keeping drug-addicts from using them to make dangerous narcotics. But some experts fear it's the people in real pain that'll suffer. You may find some of the images in Igor Ogorodnev's report disturbing.

  • Stop banning drugs! The drugs aren't the problem. The dumb people that abuse them are the problem. I say we allow natural selection to take it's course.

  • The truth is the ban isn't meant to solve problems, that is a thesis for the dumb people to believe. The russian oligarchs want to control the black market for pain killers like they do with narcotics. If you see a new drug getting popular amongst the slaves and you got power, what you do? Ban the drug to kill your competition because laws are only for those suckers without power, you get a monopoly and the prices explode, then you bring in the drug yourself and own the army of addicts.
