I think in medical marijuana states everyone over 60 should just get the card, no questions asked.
Old dude applauds Not-a-gator.
I will say this Provider, you are a credit to this blog.
This.
Also thanx to the person who linked to Peter Tosh. I played that on the radio station soon after its release. It was a blast to hear it again after all these years.

I’ve seen that doctors get a lot of scrutiny, but do pharmacists get in that kind of trouble?
Not in WA state, though I'm sure they'll be the next target. Law enforcement in this country has a stellar record of directing attention and regulation at the wrong people.
To wit: If you want to buy any medicine with pseudophedrine (a component of meth) in it now, you have to provide identification, which they record in a book and send to the state.
The net effect is that people who just want the goddamn medicine end up in a state database, which I'm TOTALLY sure will only be used for meth manufacturing investigations, and I'm also totally sure there aren't any flags on purchases that exceed a certain frequency, which I'm sure won't earn you a knock on the door from law enforcement and would never result in a search warrant.
The other, more scary effect is this: It's beyond dispute that addicts and manufacturers will obtain this stuff by any means necessary. When put in this position, there's a much greater chance that they will obtain it at gunpoint or hijack truck shipments, which increases the chance that some poor grocery worker will end up getting killed because of an indisputably stupid and ineffective law. This had absolutely no effect of the meth situation in Washington.

Retail pharmacies highly encourage pharmacists to fill even the most questionable prescriptions for opiates. I've seen that doctors get a lot of scrutiny, but do pharmacists get in that kind of trouble?

On the topic of oxycodone, let me introduce you to drugmonkey the pharmacist:

Retail pharmacies highly encourage pharmacists to fill even the most questionable prescriptions for opiates.
I've been prescribed morphine and oxycodone for MS pain. I hated the morphine and stopped taking it. Everyone I've ever talked to who had been prescribed morphine hated it. I take the oxy occasionally and it takes the edge off the pain, but I never notice any "high" to speak of so I'm not even tempted to take it for recreation.

I’m pretty surprised that prescriptions for that stuff run out. A population of addicts is a subsidy to the pharmaceutical industry; you’d figure they’d supply some lobbying power to oppose crackdowns on the prescription habits of doctors.
But they sure as hell don't.
My sister has had chronic, unending and undiagnosable pain for more than 35 years. The only thing that leaves her able to cope is opiate-based pain meds, and after years of building a tolerance, she now requires doses that would stun a moose. Finding a doctor to prescribe them is enormously difficult. She has one now but lives in mortal dread that the DEA will crack down on him.
I have no idea why the pharma companies don't fight this. Possibly they feel the bad publicity wouldn't be worth the extra sales. Those folks have black belts in cold-eyed cost-benefit analysis.

You only need to see someone with a bad case of muscular dystrophy toke up to know that pot laws are bunk.
Quantum Lunge File: After recently obtaining a certain bitchen-kewl Little Red Book online, now I am back to slurfing down books several at a time not unlike a rubby gargling Night Train (just finished off Doktor Maddow's Drift on the ride home from work this morning)... & I have also begun inflicting inroads into Kindle.
Previously I've averaged about a book or two a year for the last decade or so. Scooped loads of writing on the Intertrons daily, but none of it epic scale volume-type-input.
Being a pretentious git, I set out long ago to read "The Classics" of fiction, biography & history in toto & the (mercifully unsuccessful) process was very richly rewarding, but it also eventually inexorably ground the lust for biblio-fodder completely out of me.
Yeeeeeeeeah, binge reader off teh wagon, phreeks!

Speaking of companies in dire straits, WTF Curt "Schilling for moar taxpayer dollars"? Amalur sold a third of a million units in it's first month. Sure that ain't Skyrim sales, but it's pretty impressive for a new dev and new IP. Unless Schilling blew teh whole wad on teh one gaem and was hoping for Skyrim like sales.

Spacely Sprockets is next. They have a much fatter pension fund and their cafeteria serves the most scrumptious moon pies.

My NHL season, much like D-KW's ended in January or early February. Fortunately I have minor league hockey to fall back on. After splitting two games in Las Vegas my hometown Everblades will be playing game 3 of the Kelly Cup championship series this evening. The Blades are a perfect 8-0 at home in the playoffs this year, but the Wranglers are a near perfect 7-1 on the road. Tonight something will have to give and I fully expect the Wranglers to do all the giving.

DKW, I am sorry that I misunderstood, you, in that case we are obviously in accord. I woke up with a burr undermy saddle this morning and feel the need to appologize.
meanwhile I need to figure out how to...it really doesn't matter.
