Great. Now it will be even harder for chronic pain sufferers to get pain meds.”
What is “harder” than getting legitimate prescriptions filled, by a reputable doctor?
That is the legal way to go.
The illegal system which Christie has been appointed to address, are illegal sources of prescription drugs, and heroin.
Heroin is said to be cheaper and easier to obtain, than prescription drugs.
Re: your last line
Because to often people think because the have a Rx that they can take the pills anyway they want. Taking pain killers in ways not prescribed reduces effectiveness, increases rebound pain, and enlarges chance if addiction
“What is “harder” than getting legitimate prescriptions filled, by a reputable doctor?”
There isn’t much that is harder than getting a prescription for painkillers these days.
In my 6.6 decades, I’ve seen a number of these hysterical reactions sweep the country. Stupid.
I think they are pushing to shorter and shorter prescriptions for pain meds.
But yeah, we overprescribe pretty much everything in this country.
Show an ID for cough meds and you probably get put on a list for increased surveillance. (Show that ID and also post to FR and you’re really in for an examination...)
