This is happening because of two things. The junkies chasing down UPS and FedEx drivers and basically harrassing them, and because we as a nation are allowing our civil liberties to be taken away. This guy supposedly ran on this agenda and he was voted in. The people of KY wanted it, they got it.

I don't want to get too political here, but the President we have now has set the tone for the country. We allowed the Patriot Act to go through. Some of us were scared but the majority of people said this was a good thing. It will keep us safe. When they passed that Act it was a very slippery slope. It took away a lot of freedom and many people (apparently the majority because Bush was voted back in office) were okay with that....Remember what Benjamin Franklin said, wise man that he was-They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Well look what we have now and life is going to get even more restrictive, believe me. Bush even said that because he was reelected, he knows that the American people wanted more of the same. He had a mandate. More of the Ashcroft type errosion of personal liberty. When the subject came up about making the importation of drugs from countries such as Canada legal, Bush was vehemently against it. Kerry wanted it. Bush wanted to continue this drug war with a vengeance. He said so during his reelection campaign. So this is what the majority of people in this country wanted and this is exactly what they are getting.

It's not going to stop in Kentucky folks.

It's too bad that the minority of people (and I still do believe it IS the minority) have ruined it for legitimate pain patients in KY and pretty soon for every legitimate pain or anxiety patient in the US who uses OPs. I've said this before and got flamed for it. But it's the truth. The NROPs have created this problem. Were it not for them, sending out all those COD packages to anyone who could go online and order without substantiating their need for meds, I bet this would not be a problem right now. I am not saying that all people who use the NROPs have no medical need for the meds, but what I am saying is that a junkie or a person looking to divert meds is not going to use a records required OP. They will go to where they don't have to have medical records or talk to a physician. So I wish that these NROPs never came onto the scene because they have ruined it for the people who have a legit need, who do get their records and send them in and who do speak with a physician. Flame all you want. This is reality as shown in these articles about the recent action in KY.

I've never run after a UPS truck or went into a hub demanding my meds or just acting desperate like that. What are these people thinking, acting like that? Of course it calls attention to yourself, and you look like some junkie, even if you aren't.
