It really is time to legalize drugs, yes, all of them

34. Sorry I got snippy Riff.

I had a really bad motorcycle wreck a few years back with multiple fractures, and pins etc. I was able to get pain meds for a while, but then the docs just shut down. I live in South Florida and we had all those pill mills and the real docs got scared. They don't want folks getting hooked, which I can understand but the DEA is on the prowl down here. The pill mills don't take insurance and want $300 cash only for an $8 bottle of pills. It's all a big scam really. I found other ways to deal with my pain. It's not chronic on a daily basis, but there are some days when I wish I had a vicodin or something lying around. Being an adult who is over 21, I don't understand why I can't go to a pharmacy and get what I need in the same way I might buy a bottle of Jack Daniel's at the liquor store. I know we would have people abusing them, just like we have alcoholics. I just don't think that we should stop those who really need it. It seems to me that many suffer because god forbid someone might get high. I don't think we should have a free-for-all, but what we have been doing for the last 40+ years has been a complete disaster. Nixon was wrong.
