As a point of reference, if you have pain you can get all the opioids you could ever want, in ever increasing doses, from the VA. They hand them out like candy.

Somedays, I really wish this fantasy were true. I wince at every rough road section I travel to take vets 36 miles each way to their pain management clinic to get their monthly re-fill on their prescription when the VA clinic is 900 feet from their door.

What state are you in?

At least they are trying to stem life-long opiate addiction.

Those fellas could use a joint.
