I could not believe what I heard last night on the O'Reilly Factor. He had this author on that wrote some book, I think it was called Painkillers. Well O'Reilly said that 14 year old kids are getting meds off the net. He said this one kid got Oxycontin with just a few mouse clicks. He also said that Oxyxontin is just a substitute for heroin.
I was appalled. First of all, does anyone know of a website that sells Oxy? Secondly, my 80 yr old mother takes 10mg of Oxycontin twice a day for chronic pain. I think she would not be too pleased to hear that her medication is a substitute for heroin.
Sheesh, the media makes me sick.

It is the job of the media to tell us about things that scare us. For people who are afraid of drugs, the sale of drugs over the Internet is scary. For people who understand drugs, the articles published by the media are scary. Everyone's scared, so the media prosper.
Doctors don't like on-line drug sales because they aren't getting their cut of the deal. Since doctors are accustomed to running the drug show, to the point that if you don't get your drugs through a doctor, you can go to jail, you can bet they will exert as much influence on congress as they can.

I was just as offended as you. If O'Reilly wants to report the news that's fine - but he needs to get his facts straight. That was author Barry Meier and I sent an email to Mr. O'Reilly setting him straight that there are no online pharmacies that sell Oxy - get the facts straight Bill!!!!

Sorry Legitimate...but there is. It's very expensive, but it is out there and quite locate-able. Just search the board for awhile.

Really? Are we talking an OP or an email source?? Guess I better do a search.....my understanding was Oxy was not available from any OP...period. Geez, I hate to have to apologize to Mr. O'Reilly - he's really getting on my nerves lately.

Legitimate, I also concur with you. I have seen no "legitimate" OP, that follows designated rules of law, supply Oxycontin on-line. So I would defer my apologies, for now, to Mr. O'Reily until further concrete supporting documentation comes forth that "name's" a legitimate OP supplying Oxycontin via online consultations.

The quest for knowledge is an ongoing process that can only be found when we open the doors of our mind to it.

I swear all this media ops get are only gonna make the future for obtaining meds we legitimate customers need more difficult. Those kind of stories and high profilers getting busted completely p*ss me off. The media should get it's facts straight before they report stories. I have yet, and will never see an op that provides oxy and most definately never will. Just wanted to vent-

If they did get it, I am sure they didn't get it from an op. And surely not a legitimate one(Ha Ha). He is going to say that the kid got it online but never mention that they were one): lucky to find it two): how much they had to spend to get what may or may not have been oxy three) why not report that that same kid was visiting the local drug dealer on the corner the day before. THe difference between that kid and the chronic pain people that utilize op's are like night and day. But of course we are only going to here Best if kept off the board like that and never a positive.
YOur other post said something about an apology, don't you dare apologize, as you are positivly right that you can not get oxy from an online op.
Further more, if they feel that op's are pill mills how come they just don't prescribe buckets of the stuff to us, why should they care about records and only rx-ing so much at a time and waiting for refills? Ya know?
I saw a show on t.v about a girl that was secretly photographed by her own father while undressing. In most states that is not against the law. You can not tap a phone, but you can take naked pictures of your own daughter(sicko)and they can not do a thing to you. They said it was his camera, his pictures and as long as they were not for public viewing he could have them. So why is it when we order something like hydro FOR OUR OWN COMSUMPTION that they just can't let it be. Did you understand my point?
It is okay to be a incestious pervert, but you can not selfmedicate. This whole media thing really upsets me, as I am doing no harm to anyone at all. I just don't understand.

The media is protraying OP's as irresponsible businesses that prescribe "dangerous narcotics" to anybody. Well, as most of us know reputable OP's do not do that. You usually have to have a CC or medical records to validate the use of meds. I do not know of any legitimate OP that sells schedule II meds like Oxy. A lot of times the media focuses on the tragedies of some stupid kid who used an Email source to buy illegal Oxycontin and OD'd. I think that there has to be someone who can stand up and speak up about internet medicine and how it has helped so many people live worthwhile lives. It may also provide drug addicts with a way to get their fix, but it mainly is used by good people with pain who do not have any other option. Im sure that if the media took one of our stories and did a piece on our experiences then the country wouldn't be so harsh about OP's. Let them see what it is like to have a painful condition and let them come into the doctors with us, while we are crying and begging for help. Then they can film us while the doctors hand us our vioxx samples and then tell us to take some more Prozac. Yes, lets let a media crew come home with us, where we can't get out of bed in the morning because we are too sore. Or see the dishes that pile up, because we are in too much pain to clean up our house. Then maybe they can watch while we log on to Drug buyers,spend hours researching different OP's and trying to decide what to do. Then they can see us shell out a few more hundred dollars to talk to a doctor that is compassionate and will give us the pain medicine that we need without hassling us or giving us a lecture on addiction. They can sit at home with us and wait for that package arrive, and see how happy we are when we finally have our meds in hand. In a few hours they can watch as we can finally get out of bed and start cleaning up, and start playing with our children again and start having normanl lives. I wish they would do something like that. "Reality TV" is so popular, why don't they spend a few days in our shoes and see what it is like.
In my opinion, the media has fanned the flames of the fire that the DEA is starting against prescription drugs. Legitimate OP's are regulated, IM sure or else they wouldn't be in business. The shady ones get shut down, and since drugs and drug dealers have been around forever, no one can stop the email pushers. Those are the places that sell the Oxy's and dont' screen patients. So people will kill themselves because they don't have a legitmate need for narcotics, except to feed their high. This is nothing new, its just that the internet is a new way to deal drugs. American Op's that are listed on this board are not drug dealers, they are a form of medical service. I don't know how long they will last since so many people are blaming these places for the wave of OD's and deaths by painkillers or benzos.
Someone needs to set the record straight that the OP's we use are not the ones killing people. Why not give the media the fake email dealers and see if they can order some Oxy. Then give them the number for an American OP and see how far they can get. That should show them the difference.
