You seem pretty candid about your drug use at an early age.
Without getting too personal, what led to such heavy hardcore use so young? What was the turning point that led it to get out of control?

while true, you now have so many doctors that are horrified to give out opiates to anybody. Just because a lot of people abuse(d) those drugs, that doesn't mean that there arent people out there that actually need the medicine for real pain management.

No excuse. Just started experimenting with different substances as a young teen hanging out with the older cats in the neighborhood and some older cousins. Still think I was just having fun and liking to get a buzz and party when I was introduced to pain clinics. It started by an older guy telling me he would pay my way and pay for all these proscriptions if I would just come with him to the doctor. So all I had to do was go see this doctor and he paid for everything and only took half the pills. I thought it was great and felt I was making a come up. After a couple doctor's visits I started wanting to get all the pills instead of half, so started paying my own way. Wasn't long before I was a slave and off to the races. Didn't help around this time in my life I had a GF pass away and I ate Xanax everyday for about 6 months and completely lost that part of my life and have vague memories of it. I actually got good grades but remember showing up to school having all my homework done and not even remembering doing it.

I go in between 6-10 homes a day. Im shocked by how bad some people live. This is common though, a lot of well to do people live in self made squalor.

I remember going to a discount pharmacy in Elmwood that had pill counting stations.
I was just trying to fill some antibiotics cheap. This place only had the trinity.
The early 2000s were wild.

Quick hijack
Is the Cabrio Platinum washing machine (eco model) pretty loud? Not a high pitch screaming, but like an empty barrel? Uses less water but the top load. Thanks.

Nothing like picking up my script and waltzing over to Popeyes for a 2 piece white.

All whirlpool vertical modular washers seem to have noise issues. The barrel noise often comes from the agitator plate coming loose.

Thank you for the info.

The better question would be I wonder how many people would give a shite about this story if Danny wasn't a middle class kid who's father was a respected pharmacist in the community.
I did not take this away from watching the show. Actually the opposite. Nobody took this guy seriously until he went to the State Medical Board. He solved his own son's murder. He brought the DEA, and FBI a case on the Dr. lady, which they were dragging their feet on. Nothing happened until he went to the state medical board, and they revoked her license. So if anything, the pharmacist was disrespected and ignored because they thought he was an obsessed loon who couldn't get over his son's death.

It was the doctor’s attorney, trying to bait him in a deposition.
Super Saint, it wasn’t mentioned for more than a second in the movie, and I would never have noticed it if I hadn’t read your posts, but Dr. Cookie was sentenced to almost 6 years in prison and forfeited 10 million dollars. It was on a Times Picayune article they showed briefly in Part 4.

Don’t you get it? The CHOICE should not have been available.[/quote]
I agree that it shouldn’t have been available, but he STILL had a choice.
I own a handgun, so it’s available - it’s still my CHOICE not to use it irresponsibly

I think part of what was left out was that CMS rolled out a campaign calling pain the fifth vital sign. I remember going to trainings stating that pain was whatever the patient said it was. That you were not doing your job as a provider if you were not treating pain. Now CMS has taken it a step further and tied reimbursements to patient satisfaction. A patient can show up to the ER saying he is allergic to everything but Dilaudid. If he is told to kick rocks, he can trash the hospital on the survey. This has a direct effect on the hospital’s reimbursement rate. The government has some ownership in this problem as well.
TRUTH!!

Yeah, YOU own a handgun, but there are people who own guns whose kids get to them and play with them out of curiosity and accidentally shoot themselves or someone else.
And then there are people who will shoot you with a gun without telling you and before you know it you are wanting to be shot by a gun more and more (the gun obviously being opioids)
