My wife handles my prescription painkillers for me. Each morning, she puts my daily dosage into a pill bottle on top of the microwave. This unburdens me of the temptation to take an extra dose whenever the pain is at its worst. This has worked well for 17 years, until last Friday, when as best as we can piece it together, a patient in x-ray, which is where my wife leaves her pocket book, helped themselves to 81 of them. Apparently, they were laying on top in plain sight. I recreated it at home with my BP mess, it took 5 seconds took take, open, dump, close and return. To take the bottle would have been noticed quickly, which suggests someone who has done this before. One of these small pills has a street value of $30. The matter has been reported and pending an investigation, in the meantime I have enough for 7 days. Then 16 days until the prescription can be refilled. The government's drug prohibition policy requires continuous cycles of hysteria to sustain itself. Fear is it's weapon. Corruption is it's life blood and that does exponentially more harm than people who want to get high.
The latest big bad wolf is prescription medication. People with genuine need are those most harmed. With the latest "guidelines" in place in NC, I doubt that my medication which was stolen will be replaced and I will be forced to suffer first withdrawal then rendered mostly immobile until April 5th. So if I fall off the face of the earth from March 21 until April 5th, you know why. There is nothing on earth that I despise more than the type of damn thief low enough to steal someone's medicine. Pray as led, please.
