**956Vette** · 01-03-2004, 02:59 PM

Wow, very sorry to hear about that bro. Best wishes

**bornbad71** · 01-03-2004, 03:06 PM

**** bro sorry to hear that.....it has taken a lot of lives over the past year.

**jdog55** · 01-03-2004, 03:08 PM

All it is a pain killer...it's a legal drug and is safe if used in moderation.

Ummm...have you ever taken it? It is a very serious pain killer. I agree that in moderation it is okay, but it can be highly addictive to the right person. You come down pretty hard off that drug, a lot worse than percoset, etc.

**Xavier_4446** · 01-03-2004, 03:34 PM

Sure it is great for killing pain, but the addiction that comes with it is stupid. There are preachers down here that have been taken to jail because of their addiction to it.

**mass junkie** · 01-03-2004, 03:39 PM

My condolences bro

**Bigboy123** · 01-03-2004, 03:41 PM

Im sorry to hear that bro.

**darmadoc** · 01-03-2004, 03:43 PM

Regardless of what you think about the drug, the loss of a life to addiction is a tragedy. I'm sorry for your loss.

**Devourer** · 01-03-2004, 04:05 PM

my condolences.

**Mr. Death** · 01-03-2004, 04:10 PM

Sorry to hear that bro. It's not fair to blame the drug though. They need to crack down on the drug dealers and docters giving out the prescriptions.

**daman1** · 01-03-2004, 04:14 PM

Sorry about your loss man. I know here in Ohio they crack down pretty hard when people get caught with it.

**Elliot** · 01-03-2004, 04:16 PM

**SpunHoney** · 01-03-2004, 04:20 PM

**hoss827** · 01-03-2004, 04:24 PM

**echobeach** · 01-03-2004, 09:49 PM

Very sorry to hear that mate - my sincere condolences.

**Lord Humungous** · 01-03-2004, 10:03 PM

I hate that crap. I'm sure it has it's uses, but it seems too many get out of control too quick.

I hate to hear that someone else has lost thier battle.

**shootdeep** · 01-03-2004, 11:17 PM

sorry to hear that bro. i mentioned a while back that my father had a real bad deal on that stuff. we were fortunate and helped him kick that crap. it's bad sh*t bros...real bad!

That stuff is great for terminally ill patients. It is also good when used for someone with a seriously debilitating injury...back injury or the like. Unfortunately, some docs over-write for the stuff...resulting in an addiction for the person using it. One of the worst problems is the way the body builds a tolerance to the drug...it does not take long for you to need double the dose to achieve the same effect. Soon, you are addicted and taking insane amounts.

I am deeply sorrowed by your loss Xavier, as well as the others who have lost someone to this drug. It is so sad that this happens to good people.

They need to crack down on drug dealers? I think the US has tried that great idea for many years now, not quite working. Where do you get your juice from? From some type of dealer.

**Grant** · 01-04-2004, 01:13 PM

xavier, sorry for your loss

I guess we should just leave them alone and make the stuff legal so everyone, including children, would be able to get their hands on it. That would solve the problem.

**decadbal** · 01-04-2004, 04:21 PM

Sorry to hear your loss. about the debate about blame, the only blame is on the person taking the drug, anyone using anything today, knows the effects and addictive qualities of the substance they abuse, and they choose to abuse it, you get out what you put in, with everything in life, if you dont do drugs you wont die from them. its a horrible tragedy that ppl can become addicted to anything and that it can harm you, but sadly thats the way the world is.

Or realize drug use is a personal issue. Are you going to get rid of every addicting drug on earth? Prisons are filled with drug dealers. Have we put a dent into drug dealing, no, just raised the prices. You can attack the supply and raise the prices or reduce the demand. You sound like you are repeating the primitive DEA approach to drugs in America.

I agree that we should try to reduce the demand, but their isn't a feasible way to do so. That is why we concentrate on supply.

**Xavier_4446** · 01-05-2004, 01:51 AM

Keep narcotics in the hospital. Only administer the drug in the hospital. If you need a pain killer, come to a nearest hospital or clinic and get it done there. I know that Kentucky has a home health program that allows for RN's to deliver care to patients at home. I believe that this will really stop the dealer aspect but we still need to find a way from doctors being money hungry and hand them out left and right.

Oxycotin seems to be the common denominator in many news stories lately...

**palme** · 01-05-2004, 06:29 AM

Sorry for your loss Xavier.

**ripped4fsu** · 01-05-2004, 10:11 AM

**D3m3nt3d** · 01-05-2004, 11:04 AM
