One patient was prescribed painkillers even after she was caught faking a urine test, while others paid a doctor to increase their prescriptions, according to documents related to the shutdown this week of a notorious clinic in a region of southern Ohio so identified with painkiller addiction that the office's standard dosage was known as "Portsmouth cocktail" after the nearby county seat.The Greater Medical Advance clinic in Wheelersburg, an Ohio River city of about 6,000 residents, was a perpetually busy drug house where the owner carried a handgun and tens of thousands of painkillers were dispensed at inflated prices, according to charging documents and search warrants The Associated Press obtained through a public records request.Authorities allege the clinic, the last remaining "pill mill" in painkiller-plagued Scioto County, was a destination well-known among addicts and dealers and had just one purpose: "to make as much money off illegal drug trafficking and the funding of illegal drug trafficking as possible."

I like this comment:

Dear U.S. Drug Policy Lawmakers,Your war on drugs is a cruel joke. Your country's population amounts to approximately 4.5% of the entire world, yet your prisons are filled with more inmates charged with drug related offenses than the entire world combined. South of your border in Mexico, since 2006 when President Felipe Calderon foolishly decided to go along with your charade, more than 40,000 innocent civilians have lost their lives due to drug related violence. Recreational drug use - whether it's controlled medications or illicit substances (narcotics as you incorrectly refer to them) - has skyrocketed in your country since a former corrupt president known as Richard "I am not a crook!" Nixon declared war on drugs on May the 13th, 1971 - just over 4 decades now... Yet you think you're making progress? You say you stand for freedom and liberty for all - yet for approximately 97 years you're dictating to the nation what they can and cannot ingest. I hope and wait for nothing less than a revolution (an end) to this fallacy you've been feeding your citizens through various forms of media and propaganda. A nation so brainwashed by nearly a century of lies and deceit, that it has long ago stopped referring to alcohol or tobacco as drugs. May your bullshit futile war rot in hell, along with your conservative dictators who continue to fight for it. May due justice be served to all the victims, many of whom - typical non violent users - lived their entire adult lives and died in prison for the right to ingest what they want. For the right to want to feel better, or simply have some fun. For the right to grow and harvest any plants we desire. Because we will never stop fighting for true freedom and liberty.
