Thanks Plotinus, Ol' Buddy-
I am complete civil libertarian and people supporting so called "legit" ops who want tons of medical records are just making it difficult for everyone. I believe - just like in certain European countries (or Tijuana!) - you should walk into a druggist and get whatever you want. It's your responsibility on how to take it, and the authority figures should get their faces out of our business with regard to how we medicate. And if you read the article carefully, none of the folks described in it was anything but all-American people who had Best if kept off the board good reason to be medicated and had no other choice than to go the ops route.
There's no "shame" in drug use or even being an addict - if you're a functional one and aren't out knocking over old ladies for their purses or being a second story B&E guy.
