OK, first I wasn't sure where to post this although I have been posting (VIP) since Feb. But, I have been 'friends' with a young lady online since March. ....Irony coming... She works with a non-profit group whose purpose is to...educate and help to keep people, mainly youth, off of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. I am (really) a very honest person, but have not told her of my (legitimate) need for Benzos because she mentioned a long time ago that they were one of the top drugs of choice these days for abusers. Well tonight we had a discussion/debate on the DEA, underprescribing Drs. (on my side); and overprescribing Drs., and how people get 'hooked' on scripts. (on her side). I get so frustrated trying to make her understand (and in all honesty I am sure she feels the same way). Any suggestions would be appreciated (articles, or whatever). One recent article comes to mind about the terminal patient writhing in pain because he couldn't get the meds he NEEDED.
Here's a catch though, my computer knowledge is hit and miss, I don't know how to cut and paste or edit an article (I definately wouldn't want her to know anything that I was sending was coming from something called Drugbuyers for obvious reasons (Although I reallty appreciate the site, the name has always SOUNDED elicit to me). I hope to get lots of suggestions on this, but please keep the negativity to a minimum, as all I want to do is convince someone who matters to me (and to all of us actually). Sorry so long. Thank you all in advance.
