What's worse, if it isn't for them, they sell it on the streets for extra money. Countless times I have fought with a person I used to live with about selling her medications... and every single time she ignored me. I see no difference between this and the common drug peddler on the street... divvying out prescription pain medications to some person who isn't prescribed them by a doctor is no better. Drugs don't just ruin one person's life, they ruin a whole family's and often beyond even that. It's pure evil in my eyes. Profit at the pain and addiction of another.

A goodly portion of the problem revolves about the doctors not knowing that their patients are going to other doctors, and not knowing what they are already being prescribed. I cannot count how many times Dr. A prescribed vicodin... only to have Dr. B be visited with the same/similar complaint and prescribe demerol or oxycotin. What a mess.
