Amazing, isn’t it.
After all those years of Dems threatening people that “Republicans are going to cut your medicare”, the dems were the ones to do it.
And the press smiles and nods.
I have one better for you. I am going to tell you this. I have a democrat friend in her middle 60’s. She has many illnesses. Well the other day...she was soooooo happy that Obama made it medical marijuana legal! Now she can buy and smoke it legally! Yes! All this time she has had to do it....well, should was say...illegally.....in West Virginia. There are four states where it is legal, so she gets a Rx from one of those states where it is legal and gets her smokes. Now I know she is in pain. I also know she is given a drug Lourtabs? Is that how it is spelled? Well half she takes.......half she sells to pay her bills. Now I ask you....if she and other seniors like her sell her meds for cash...how long before they sell their “medical marijuana”???
Loritab is Vicodin. It’s fairly heavy duty stuff, and I hope your friend doesn’t get caught doing it. It’s tough being ill in jail, nobody has much sympathy for you.
As a pain patient myself, I understand her difficulty. But I’ve never done anything illegal. If you start think you know better than your pain doctor and the law, that is a setup for disaster.
In a New York minute!
