He may not. Of course this is speculation, but if he sent his maid to get the pills from the pharmacy, she may have bought them on the street (pocketing the cost difference).

I have news for you: opiates cost far more on the street than they do in a pharmacy. That excuse won't fly. As someone mentioned, a single vicodin can go for $20 in the open market; "oxys" can cost upwards of $40 for one pill.

a single vicodin can go for $20 in the open market; "oxys" can cost upwards of $40 for one pill.

Vicodin on the street typically sells for $3 or $4 a pill. Lorcet, which includes a bit more hydrocodone, typically sells for about $5. Oxycontin, depending on the strength, typically sells for $8-$15.

They are wonder drugs. Not for "partying," but for relieving pain, both physical and psychic.
