Or perhaps I'm just minunderstanding your point here. |
Im talking about the people who are "proud" to be taking it, people who get excited at being prescribed the narcotic, not because of what it can do for their pain, but because they are going to go to walgreen to fill their prescription and stop over at wal-mart and pick up a case of bud to mix it in with. The people who aren't prescribed the pill who get excited when their friend who broke his leg is prescribed percocet because he think he can "bum" a few off of him. The guy who goes to the doctor and says, "Doc ive been having alot of back pain, do you think I can get a prescription of oxycodone to help me out with that?" When all it really takes is a little bit of IcyHot and some time.
Im not talking about the rare people with serious pain related long term illnesses who take it. These people don't WANT to take the pill.
Im talking about people who WANT to take the pill, and keep taking it, because its "cool".
