I was told by my brother, who is retired army and living in Ohio, that they have a huge problem with pain pill abuse. Ohio has a ridiculous amount of people on the government dole. It is an art form there to see how many freebies you can get. Anyway, he was telling me that every other person is walking around with a free health care card. They fake pain to get free Oxy and other opiates and then sell them for crazy profits. These drugs are coming out of small communities into the big cities and the law enforcement agencies are becoming like gestapo trying to curb the problem. There is a "pipeline" of sorts running through Kentucky into and through Ohio. Funny thing is happening though. While they are having great success at eliminating pain pills, even for folks who need them, the heroin trade has tripled. Heroin is cheaper than cigarettes in Ohio.

Anyway... there it is... the war on drugs failing and law enforcement flailing at the wind to fight it back. Meanwhile, citizens give up their rights under the guise of "the greater good".

I have metal rods and screws in my spine and nerve damage in the nerves going to my left leg. No one could understand the pain I have unless they have experienced it. I don't want people to know the amounts and types of opiates I have because I might have to shoot someone.

You are right to be concerned. They are getting at least two dollars and as much as three dollars per mg for Oxy. That is fourty five bucks for a single 15 mg pill in some areas. It is a shame because when folks who really need the meds, like you for instance, go to the doctor, they are put through the ringer.

Exactly. I'm in the same boat as VoiceofReason, with the same issues, for many years now. That's one of the reasons I'm so worried about government intrusion into my healthcare. The fact is, I've got nothing to hide really in my vehicle, but I might want to some day.
