Legalizing Drugs?
Question by Elizabeth (the jewish princess): legalizing drugs?
i dont want street drugs legal, all im saying about rx pain killers is i dont see the “difference” in having “alcohol” legal and then not having like “vicodin”? all my point is, is there both as bad or as good, “depending upon who’s hand’s they end up in” and “we” the people take care of as many drunks as druggies, but say someone has a very bad “unknown pain condition” the doc says they need pain meds, after a medical diagnos why cant they go buy there vicodin at the drug store, ya know why because “they should have to keep paying for the doctor and the rx company, right? how is that fair? if i have a headache a need a vicodin, i should be able as an adult to rate my own pain and go buy a bottle, oh im sorry, what i should only be able to go buy a fifth of whiskey??? you people need to know everyone is going to be addicted to something, but your giving the government the power to tell us, even what are addictions are going to be? im sick of alcohol being “socially acceptable”

One of the biggest differences between alcohol and vicodin is the potential for overdose. Maybe you shoould be asking for a low dose version of your favorite Rx be made OTC whether it be pain medication, antihistamine, or heartburn relief.
