However, it has also created an opportunity for unscrupulous doctors and pharmacists to profit from addiction. One victim of such a doctor was Ryan Haight. The young man from California was only 18 when he overdosed on pain killers that were illegally prescribed over the Internet. With only a few clicks of the mouse, Ryan was able to get a prescription from a doctor he had never met and have the pills sent to his front door. The doctor who wrote Ryan's prescription had previously served time in prison for illegally dispensing controlled substances.

VICTIM?!

I call BS on this - Yes, the doctor supplied the drugs, but it was the 18 year-old (old enough to be considered adult - marry, join the army, etc.) who lied for the prescription to get the drugs to abuse.

We are doomed until we get the cojones to speak truthfully using real words and real meanings to describe real problems.
