Pablo: I've been saying all along that the illegality of drugs is why there is so much crime around them. However, prescription drugs are not illegal if you have a prescription, they are just mismanaged by the people who prescribe them or are prescribed them, if Marijuana, hashish, and magic mushrooms were available in a "coffee shop" settings like they are in Amsterdam, then you would see a drastic drop in use of prescription drugs to get high. Why? Because the natural stuff is much much safer. Plain and simple, if given the choice, people would prefer the natural stuff, but that would not line the pockets of our political leaders and big pharmacutical. I do respect the police, they are doing their jobs, but even alot of them think it is wrong to put addicts, created by mass marketing and distribution of prescription drugs with the government's blessing, into jail! Legalize, Educate, Medicate, and REGULATE. The proof is in amsterdam. RevMike420@gmail.com

If we didn't have illegal drugs...are you kidding? This is a prescription medication. Ok...so let's just start putting Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, etc, on the shelves in stores. Oh no! That won't work!!! You see? Then people would actually have to spend their OWN money instead of getting a prescription that WELFARE PAYS FOR!!! For crying out loud! People want Rx for MOTRIN for their kids so they don't have to pay for it out of pocket! The abuse of prescribed narcotics is just crazy! It's completely out of control. There will never be an answer to this problem.
