My problem with all of this is....what about the real suppliers....the doctors? When are we going to start cracking down on them?

Yes I agree the Doctors need to be more careful in writing these scrips, but remember these people have dozens of people working for them on the street level who feign illness, buy the pills and then sell them to these dealers.
The real crime is our Court system that allows two men with 24 FELONIES BETWEEN THEM TO BOND OUT AND WALK AWAY.. All for a $75,000 unsecured bond. Who wants to place bets that both of these men will run as fast as they can away from here. What a naive system we have.

I agree FFWF, there is a well known Doc in town that basically advertises pain meds and all the addicts know they can go there and get a prescription easily.

Of course the common sense solution is to legalize all drugs. That kills the cartels because it can be taxed. Its called natural selection...something we try to deny everyday. Cough.....liberalism....cough cough..
