Prescription painkiller addiction has grown exponentially in the last several years fueled by the illicit online pharmacies whose spam inundates your inbox. The DEA is abruptly shutting down this cheap & easy supply. What seemed like a problem will be revealed as the tip of the iceberg, sending a tsunami through the criminal justice, social services, and health care systems. SAMHSA best practice Medication Assisted Treatment is capable of managing most cases on an outpatient basis avoiding a progressive deterioration, costly to individuals and taxpayers. Communities must act now. http://myspace.com/nhsoklahoma
But at least it will be pain-free.
Lately, the spam that inundates my mailbox is offering for sale either college diplomas or knock-off Rolexes. Oh, and pills to increase the size of my organ - and we’re not talking about Johann Sebastian Bach.
Yeah, but with 20 kids, his organ had no stops.
:-) LOL.

I visit the dentist a lot. On four of those occasions I’ve been given hydrocodone for pain. I still have pills left over from each visit.
In fact, the last time I was given the pills, I only needed aspirin. Yeah, I’ve taken Vicodin, and it’s great as a painkiller, but give me a nice single-malt for taste and a buzz (if I really want a buzz).
Personally, I don’t understand how people can become addicted to this particular drug so easily. Maybe it’s my body chemistry...
