For background, a 16 year old girl died over in Oregon last December, after she smoked a 30 mg oxycodone pill that was given to her by an 18 year old patient of the Payette Clinic.

That’s the key event that started this ball rolling, and why Payette Clinic is mentioned so prominently.

Leaving aside the illegality of the drug transfer, what part of the prescription said to smoke this pill ?

The fact that humans develop tolerance to narcotics and require larger doses to suppress pain is well-documented. What are these people supposed to do?

Pain management clinics are legitimate medical enterprises. The real problem is our laws demonizing narcotics.
