I would refrain from making the statement "we all turned to the alternative to be pain free". This is not true. This is the heart of the legal problem with OP's as well as visiting a regular doctor. There are people and many of them that use alternative measures to obtain prescription medications for reasons other than pain relief. I believe the only OP's that can stand a true blue full DEA and State audit might be OP's like Madison or the very few others that require Urine screens, blood work, a portamedic that actually does more than have you fill out a form and requires real recent documented records stating that alternative treatments have been tried and you have been prescribed narcotic prescriptions for pain. All others and even these operations are under a very small grey area that is rapidly changing. Doom and Gloom, no, have the enforcement actions increased in the last 3 years, somewhat, what do I think and who cares? I think it is such a big legal mess that at this point it will take congressional action before more serious issues are addressed and new more spoecific laws are enacted before much will change. I just have no idea when it will happen. I still can't believe that a true government internet sting operation (an e-mail source type)hasn't been conducted as of this date. Take care. Billylll
