I couldnt agree more, but some people will always use legal and illegal substances to get "high".
They are not worried about those of is who NEED these medications to function through our illnesses and lead productive lives.
Some kids sniff gasoline and paint thinner to get high.
I guess we should ban that stuff too ?
Then again, look what a huge personality like Rush Limbuagh did to all the pain sufferers who needed Oxycontin to help quell the pain.

> It's a big problem that adds to the stigma.
> I always pray that those drugs won't get "taken away" (unlikely, but this abuse has made getting them, LEGALLY, MUCH more difficult) due to this.
