What a wonderful world the drug companies and Doctors sponsored by medicare get
people hooked on this stuff and then they delist if from the arsenal of treatment. This
is an outrage really although it makes no difference to me personally. We have to
treat those who were addicted by the system, or do we.

For those who sell this stuff on the black market it will be a God send the price is going
to go through the roof for users and don't think they won't get their hands on it they will.
its like everything else, the more you make it illegal them more it generates in revenue.

Oxycontin is a powerful drug, and we got people hooked, how did it make the market so
wide spread? How did we allow the peddlers to make it the drug of choice? The problem
is we allowed the law to be put forward that they can advertise on TV and radio and be sure
to tell your Doctor if you have any problems but talk to your Doctor today and start feeling
better.
We are playing a dangerous game with drugs in the mainstream and we don't want to admit
it. We see government and the medical community promoting prescription drug use and
when they make a mistake they delist the drug and refuse to take responsibility for their
actions. This is a pretty low blow if you ask me.

Beware of oxy's bathtub version....

That's scratching at a memory. Wasn't there a thread on that a long time ago, some guy who used bath beads then sacrificed a goat in the neighbours house or something?

It's weird the things I remember. Can't remember where my keys are, but this I remember, LOL.

I recall that thread. A man did something to a neighbour's goat(it was their family pet). I can't remember what he did to the goat exactly, but he was mad as a hatter!


And there it is. At least petros was of more help. LOL!
