Hey, Lurker, what's up? There's no doubt, you don't need a so called "shred" of evidence....he recieved them "illegally". The crime here is that this crap is ever "legal". Hydrocodone changes you from what you are, Lurker. For too many people, that the doctors or the pharmeceutical companies just don't give a tinker' damn about, they become "something else". Do you know what the doctor's told me when I refused to take any more of their narcotics??They told me I just wasn't trying hard enough.

I don't always agree with Rush. Mostly he's a republican party hack. He deserves a break on this one.

Good seein' ya, Lurker.

"Hydrocodone changes you from what you are"


...I am taking it for a pinched nerve in my neck. It is prescribed to take two at a time up to four times a day and I take them at most two pills a day. Only when the pain reaches a point just short of being intolerable. You are right, it changes me from what I am - hurting - to being relatively pain free for a few hours.
...When my colon ruptured I was in the hospital for eight days and had a morphine "drip" it is on a timer where you can give yourself a dose after a certain period of time. I got to where I REALLY looked forward to my next "hit"
...Pain killing chemicals have a useful purpose but I agree there is a fine line between using them and abusing them.
