Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

I agree with lovepink. If they can find a way to stop the "high" that goes along with a lot of these pain meds, then the abuse would stop too, I would imagine. The tampering is another issue that just goes hand in hand with the "getting high" theory. If crushing oxy didn't do a darn thing, people wouldn't be killing themselves trying to get it. And teens wouldn't be dying because of overdosing on a med that they know nothing about (let's not get into the whole "parental observation" issue, please, everyone here knows that teens are rarely "monitored" by their parents every minute of every day). I just think it's a good step to try and take by the manufacturers of these medications. If they could make a med that simply took away the pain and didn't cause a "high", then I agree that many of us would be getting the medication we need to help our conditions. As lovepink stated, the doctors would be free to prescribe the medication as it was needed and not be so afraid of abuse as they are now.
Unfortunately, people who want to get "high", usually find a way to do it with or without prescription pain meds. If the option of the pain med "high" were taken away, they would turn their attention to something else. That would be cool for chronic pain patient's situations because then our docs would no longer be scared to death to prescribe a pain med to someone who really needed it.
I know I've just reiterated what others have already posted. Sorry for the repeat. It's just my opinion. I think it's a good idea.
