Being married to a pharmacist, and being an EMT myself, I can assure you that would have gone precisely nowhere. The BoP is right in bed with the DEA.

You sir, are a serious yogurt eater, if you know what I mean.

No, have no idea at all what you mean. But I can certainly tell that you hold yogurt, and by granting titles and what-not, and the esteemed Mr. Balko in high, high regard.

mean, some jittery dude showing up at Walgreen’s with a prescription for 300 Dilaudid would justifiably raise some eyebrows

I don’t see any justification. Let a tweaker get his fix. Did you need government intervention to quit drinking, or were you one of the lucky ones who was able to seek help and take recovery seriously?

Minuscule nitpick: Lenhart was injured in a climbing accident, not a car accident.

Why do I feel Boscoh has an onion tied to his belt (which was the style at the time)?

we exist to generate tax revenue for Big Gov.

Finally, an appropriate time to use the reply “THIS!”

BTW, what, exactly, is the harm … that she might get high?

The War on Flowers (WoF) is closely tied to the dark evil core at the heart of the liberal agenda against We the Little People {[TM], (c), patent pending}: we exist to produce value generate tax revenue for Big Gov. If you’re high, you’re not operating at 100% optimumity *snicker* thereby denying your humble, faithful elected servants the money they need to pay for… important stuff.

I think you might have forgotten that HIPAA is a Federal law an Federal law intransigently refuses to recognize anything medical about cannabis.

Without looking it up I seem to recall the opposite of your memory. But even if you remember correctly it was a State law that kept the information from the Feds. Hey, you know we could both be recalling correctly. One State protected their patients, another one didn’t. But it most certainly wasn’t HIPAA doing the protectin’.

I think it’ll be either a) somebody who just saw his beloved dog(s) shot by a cop for no other reason than “it’s fun!”…er, I mean, ‘Officer Safety’; or b) a chronic-pain patient who the LEO/DEA mafia has fucked out of his meds one time too many.

After a story like this, I’m thinking it won’t be too long now. We’ll see.

Now I’m going to have to lobby her to at least get a second opinion from a politician. Even if they can’t cure her, they can at least pass a law which would do so. I may have to put my foot down and insist. After all, it’s for her own good.

But seriously, what about the children? What kind of message does it send the children if she lallygags and acts like a layabout all day without consulting a politician? Doesn’t anyone care about the children?

What I find myself wondering, is given that practicing medicine without a license is a crime, at what point does law enforcement denying someone medication become illegal practice of medicine?

Does someone have the link he was intending?

Thanks in advance.
