Oxycontin

Do the people who abuse this drug realize what they are doing to those who really need it? Studies show that 99% of those who are taking this for pain do not abuse it. Because so many do, those of us that function in spite of illness may be denied what we need and do not abuse. Seems pretty selfish to me. Next time you think about crushing, snorting or injecting this drug, think about those who are truly in pain and whom you may be screwing.

I give you credit for having the courage to say how you feel against what has become nothing short of a cyber attack on someone that no one here knows nothing about.  I may not agree with his statistics, or even his feelings, but he IS entitled to his opinion.
