Amen to that, I'm glad to live in a western country with no LE Agency that's given billions to harass/force/even arrest doctors because of how those with compassion AND actual reasons for treating somebody with a chronic pain issue. And they script long-term benzo scripts to make those in pain in a little less pain (muscle relaxant effect but have a worse withdrawal than opiates) and not express warranted outrage when one is suddenly cut from their treatment because a cop said so. Here docs script opiates as much as they want, only dentists have some kind of watchdog on them. And even here some prohibitive extremely conservative and not based on science, doctors who tell people under 30 or so, that even though their condition needs some pain meds, they will script them in small quantities and eventually cut them off cold turkey after a while, which leads to things like...these last 2 months, one guy entered a mom & pop pharmacy with a syringe saying it had aids in it and to give him generic Oxycontin, Dilaudid, HydromorphContins etc. and another last week tried the same with a fucking AXE to force the pharmacists into giving him what he asked for, but that one guy got caught, they hit the alarm button on time.
Back when I was a chipper, 10 years ago or so, a friend of a friend had the politeness of just going to get "his scripts himself" in the night after witnessing the alarm pass code entered by an employee when it closed. So he hid himself in the mall where that pharmacy was, and when closed, let himself in and took everything (even opiates here are not, generally behind secure safes or such). Let's say I felt like Charlie when I visited him afterwards and the funny thing is, he was returning the weak shit he grabbed in the dark like M-Eslons 15's and 30's back to the pharmacist afterwards, saying he knew who did it, wouldn't say who, but that he was bringing back some of the stuff without the guy knowing to the pharmacy in exchange for a HydromorphContin 24 a day. That was fun times. I hope you keep kratom legal, I never used it, but I thought of it as an out from bupe and thankfully it remains legal in Canada, including extracts. They rather ban ridiculous almost not used other than by the french speaking (often christian) arabs who smoked Khat, well the Conservatives did...the Liberals brought us the nbome ban that takes 2c-x's as collateral damage which pisses me the fuck off.
