What a shame that people like yourself, with a healthy view of that ridiculous War on Drugs and in real pain, are so afraid of everything: using an IOP or asking for stronger pills. If we all complained more often and louder, and if we used what is available overseas, maybe things would(slowly) change. By the way: using IOPs isn't illegal yet. Only receiving SOME of the meds is, but even that usually fits into a vast "gray" area. Sorry, I don't want to sound too harsh, but being from Europe and appreciating so much the bravery of my American friends in the past, I am surprised to see so much of cowardice here. People are even afraid to sign for packages! This is a normal practice all over the world for Registered mail! It doesn't matter what your narrow-minded mailman thinks, really. Heads up!
