Re: Fentanyl patch

I know that most people here are older than me, but I'm sorry. When I was 19 I knew better than to do something like this. Common sense. Yes I did a lot of things that I regret, but none of them involved me possibly dying. I moved out of mom's house when I was 16. I had no financial support from her after that(hardly before) and today I am 22,have a high paying job. At 19 I did party a lot and spend most of my time with my friends, but I hate when people act like a 19 year old is not responsible for their own actions. In this country you are an adult at 18. You need to be out on your own and making wise decisions because when you eat a whole Fentnanyl patch at once then go to bed chances are if you have no tolerance for the drug, you are going to die. Of couse I have sympathy for the parents, but to try and put the blame on anyone but their son is unacceptable. I worked in a pharmacy and the patches along with all other CII's were kept in a locked cabinet called the safe. What else do they think should be done? As long as people are in extreme pain and need those kinds of meds then they will easily travel into the wrong hands. The people that I have seen getting these kind of drugs at the pharmacy are usually on Medicaid and if you think for one minute that people won't turn around and sell those patches for a quick $40 you are crazy. I guess I'm just tired of seeing the wrong people being singled out like cronic pain patients for things that stupid people are doing.
