That’s nuts.
One each of those pills a day would knock someone on their arse.
She seemed to not give a shite about anything but money and didn’t try to hide it.

You think? She was a fricking idiot.
If you watched it.. What about the "smoking gun"?
She prescribed an 11 year girl .. I think a month supply of 80mg of Oxy and two other types of pain killers on one visit.
That bitch knew what she was doing.. and she started being addicted.. Which was probably her way of dealing with the fact that she was becoming responsible for people dying, etc..

I’m actually more interested now in the crack epidemic and the effect on the African American community

The articles said that a Los Angeles drug dealer, Ricky Donnell Ross, was supplied cocaine by Oscar Danilo Blandon Reyes, a former leader of the contras.
Based largely on court testimony by Mr. Blandon, the Mercury News articles declared that the profits from drug sales in inner-city Los Angeles were used to help finance the contras in their war against Nicaragua's leftist government. They then went on, however, to make or imply several even more explosive assertions.
They said the trafficking by Mr. Blandon and Mr. Ross had helped ''spark a crack explosion in urban America.'' They said the ring had funneled ''millions'' in drug profits to the contras. And, perhaps most explosively, they implied that the C.I.A. had been aware of what was going on.

Dr Cookie used to prescribe me
60 - 80mg oxy
90- 10mg Lortab
90- 250mg Soma
30- 2mg Xanax
Per month when I was a 17yo high school student with no documented injury or illness
Her practice was a true plague on society.

I don't know who invented crack, but I think it became more popular and obtainable when the US put stronger laws on cocaine.
Possible, but the thing with crack that many people miss is that it is cocaine, just a different route of administration. People are desensitized to the act of smoking and view IV as more severe, but the fact of the matter is if you smoke cocaine the high is more powerful than other routes of administration and it is damn near instantaneous.
That is why it sells.

Damn dude. You never stood a chance. No wonder you struggled a bit later in life.

Does Lortab even work after you take oxy for so long?

prescription database was a great thing. It’s insane it took so long for someone to think of it.
I have been a hospital RPh for over 25 years, but I worked as a pharmacy tech in retail while I was in pre-Pharmacy. Back then, the pharmacists would not fill a script &’we had a chain phone call system to notify local pharmacies about customers trying to fill from pain clinics. In my hometown, Lake Charles, we would get a lot of scripts from Texas pain clinics. All the pharmacists wanted a database to prevent all the the customers who abused the system. Back then it would have helped with patients who went to multiple doctors or clinics or ER just for pain scripts. There were a lot of weight loss docs back then too who wrote tons of scripts. Sad that it took so long.

Can someone help me understand something? I know the drug game very well and I know a lot of what many of the drugs do. Why would a doctor prescribe oxycontin and soma AND xanax? Why not just prescribe one? Why 3? And many doctors did this? Were the doctors trying to keep clients coming back for cash money?
This was 1999-2001 in the documentary. But pill mills were immensely popular and easy even in 2007. Waskom, Texas for instance. Perry, Florida. 2 places I knew it went on. Among many.
Can someone enlighten me why doctors would see patients who would not even need an MRI, AFTER paying cash money only with no insurance needed? How the hell did these doctors NOT know this shite would be the end of them?

Many times the set up ran like this.
A money man would locate a really old retired doctor enticing them with bunch of cash just to sign their name.
Would rent a vacant office in an abandon strip mall.
He/She would hire hoodrat family members to run the place.
The prescriptions would be pre-printed and signed (everyone got the same thing) and the hoodrat that took your cash for the visit would hand you your prescription. Every 3rd or 4th visit you had to 'see' the doctor. Which entailed just walking to the back for 30 seconds and the doctor handing you the same pre-signed printed prescription.
Some had their own pharmacy that you HAD to you. You would walk from the window with your paper in your hand and walk across the room to another window where they already had your meds in a bag. Cash of course. No insurance.

The pharmacist didn't prescribe it, it was the doctors.. I am assuming that is what you meant right?
I was wondering the same thing. They called it the holy trinity.

This was 1999-2001 in the documentary. But pill mills were immensely popular and easy even in 2007.
In the documentary they showed a commercial for Oxycotin that was from 1997. It was in the early to mid 90s when doctors decided that they should keep patients as comfortable as possible. I am not sure what went into this decision, but I remember having surgery on my back in 1988.. I was in 4th grade.
For several days after the surgery I was in a lot of pain. I remember being told I would have more pain than I did the day after surgery because I was given morphine that day but its something they can't give people for a long period of time so I would have to take Tylenol and as I heal the pain will start to go away.
When I see something that says doctors didn't think these pain meds were as addictive as they are that's why I think that is total bullshite. That is why they only gave me (and I assume everyone else at the time) so much morphine. Because if people take too much they become depended on it.
But back to prescribing soma and xanax. I know the girl in the documentary who said it was known as the holy trinity said something about how taking all three together made it feel really good.
But the over prescribing of pain meds started in the late 90s.. A friend of mine pitched in college, in 2001 he had two surgeries on his shoulder in less than a year. He was prescribed oxy and became addicted. He got help and has been doing good for years.

Look at what it took to bring that place down. It took the dad's "not going to stop until its done" mindset to bring it down.. Then what happened after they brought it down? More started popping up. If it took the DEA all that time to investigate one, they would be overwhelmed with multiple.
But Purdue Pharma was the ones with all the data, they knew where they were sending a high volume of Oxy.
I watched something else on this epidemic. There was a pharmacist in a small town in West Virginia. The place was filling prescriptions of Oxy at a rate that averaged out to be enough for everyone living in that town to take 3 pills a day. A former employee of Purdue Pharma said this was information they knew about, but it was ignored..
Purdue was no different than the corner drug dealer..

Awesome documentary.
But in the whole series they never said why the drug dealer killed his son???
Like did he refuse to pay him or something??

If you read the thread on the Movie Board, the guy who knows Daniel said that Jeffrey never gave a good reason and changed his story. He was 15. Most likely was for neighborhood clout or gang initiation.

What’s the longest you had to wait to get a script? I can’t believe that guy said he waited 12 hours. And his friend waited two whole days
Posted on 2/9/20 at 8:41 am to PiscesTiger
One is a muscle relaxer, one is anti-anxiety, and the other is pain killing... For someone in actual physical agony, the combination can help with different issues. For someone who wants to get f***** up, these drugs heighten each other's efficacy

The people waiting in line were either drug addicts or drug dealers. They had no job or other responsibilities and had plenty of time to spare. Based on prices for pills sold on the street, each person could gross $ 9600.00 for the following script.
60 - 80mg oxy x $80 ea. = $4800
90- 10mg Lortab x $30 ea. = $2700
90- 250mg Soma x $20 ea. = $1800
30- 2mg Xanax x $10 ea. = $300
Figure the doctor visit costs $400 and another $500 to have the prescription filled at the pharmacy... Would you wait in line for 12 hours or 2 days to profit $8700 cash ? If done every 2 weeks, you’re looking at approximately $225,000 per year for the drug dealer. The drug addict would never make a profit because he’s to busy consuming his product.

In the end by him going to the state Board of Medical Examiners he got done faster. What was crazy was the police protection she had....I knew cops back then were woefully underpaid and detail work was lucrative , but sheesh.
