IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE NEW THING TO GET HOOKED ON THESE DAYS,OTHER THAN METH,BUT INCLUDED WITH METH,IS PAIN KILLERS! THESE OXY-CONTINS ARE GOING ON THE STREET LIKE HOT CAKES,FOR $1.00 PER MG.,WHEN THEY COME IN 20-40-60-80MG PILLS,AND KIDS,AND ADULTS ARE WILLING TO PAY THIS PRICE FOR ONE PILL! I'VE BEEN ON THIS DRUG BEFORE AFTER A KNEE SURGERY YEARS AGO,BUT I DON'T REMEMBER GETTING HIGH OFF IT,I DO REMEMBER NOT BEING IN AS MUCH PAIN.I ACTUALLY PLAYED IN A BASKETBALL GAME 2 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY ON BOTH KNEES,I JUST PUT MY CRUTCHES TO THE SIDE,AND WENT IN,BANDAGES AND ALL! IT TOOK THE PAIN AWAY THAT WELL,BUT I WASN'T HIGH,I WAS JUST SET TO WIN THAT GAME,AND WE DID,IT WAS THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!
BUT THESE PILLS ARE GETTING THESE KIDS OUT OF CONTROL,I KNOW BECAUSE MY 3 YOUNGEST BROTHERS ARE ALL HOOKED ON THEM,AND THIER FRIENDS TO! ONE OF THOSE 3 BROTHERS HAS WRITTEN ME OFF,BECAUSE I WON'T ALLOW HIM IN MY HOUSE,HE STEALS FOR THEM,AND HE SAYS ANYTHING TO TRY TO CONVINCE ME TO GIVE HIM SOME OF MY PAIN PILLS! AND SINCE I WON'T,I'M NOW THE ENEMY IN HIS EYE'S,HE THINKS I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM,BECAUSE I WON'T COMMIT FELONY FOR HIM!WHEN I ACTUALLY NEED MY PILLS FOR MY PAIN,THEY DON'T EVEN GET ME HIGH.I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD GET HIM HIGH.BUT HE WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME NOW! MY OTHER LITTLE BROTHER JUST GOT MARRIED,AND I WAS TOLD NOT TO BE THERE,HE DOESN'T WANT HIS NEW WIFE TO KNOW ABOUT HIS ADDICTION! (that marriage is really gonna last)HE'S ALSO AN (he says ex)HEROINE ADDICT,BUT THE 3RD BROTHER RESPECTS ME,AND KNOWS THAT I NEED MY MEDICATION FOR MY PAIN,SO HE DOESN'T EVEN GO THERE! HE'S THE BROTHER THAT LOVES ME!
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE PAIN PILLS GET THESE KIDS HIGH,BUT NOT ME,EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT WHY I TAKE THEM,IT'S JUST A CURIOSITY? ANYBODY KNOW?
