Easy Drugs?

[crazyhyperway]

Recently, a lot of news stations have been saying it may be a little too easy to get prescription drugs in the U.S. I cant really say anything about other countries.

But, I do remember when I was 8 or 9 My mom being an overly concerned parent about a cold would rush me to the doctors office and say I had a 102 fever when it was 100 or say the cold has been going on for a week when really it was 4 days and she would get a prescription.

Anyways, do you think it is too easy to get prescription drugs where you live?

If you go to a crap GP and know what to say / how to act, it's quite easy to get hold of prescription drugs here in the UK.

it really depends on the doctor. some are really good and some are really bad. now in the USA, there is a triplicate form that has to be filled out for certain meds, oxy, methadone, basically and controlled substance. i get meds pretty easy, but i also have a weak innume system. i was a drug baby, so at times, i still take methadone. my doctor lets me have it for emergencies, but i'm not allowed to hold it.

not with my doc I don't think, he's pretty good. It's a good question though - I guess that if you wanted anti depressants and knew your act, it wouldn't be too hard.

Yes, sadly.

of course its gonna be easy. its the law of large numbers: go to a great enough number of docs and the chances of one of them believing your symptoms are pretty high , even if the probability of any given doctor giving you them are low.
