I have worked in thge govenment in a quasi law enforcement job. No arresting people-just taxing them.

The government is undermanned, people are not motivated by and large, and I think that a LOT of these posts are by DEA and other LE types trying to use a cheap way to discourage using online pharmacies.

I think that the free-wheeling days of on-line pharmacies are fading. And unless there are no doctors that will see you or take you insurance when it comes to pain (assuming you are not a drug chaser), then a lot of these posting about arrests are the same type of scare tatics that the IRS uses around April 15th when the new runs stories about tax cheaters. Ever see these stories any other time?

I have no idea who are in actual need of pain doctors and why these people won't use a doctor that is local. I don't care if a person uses an OP-it's their money and maybe they will not get ripped off.

But while the battle between doctors and government rages on, there ARE a few doctors in most areas that I would assume write prescriptions for pain killers.

If the doctor won't, you can always say, 'I tired, now I'll use an OP'. That might change his mind. I now if my doctor dumped me, I would be looking for the stringest thing on the market-not this eak stuff he gives me. So if your doctor is a person of ethics, then they will want to prescribe you, not have some 'stranger' who may or may not be an MD provide you with whatever via an OP.

LEt's face it, if you really have pain, you are going to get releif either from a legitimate or ilegitmate source whcih may be the local pusher. And he doesn't care what you buy as long as you are not a cop and have the cash..
