If these people think the gov't should have better control then move to North Korea or like country where every aspect of your life is gov't controlled! It's not letting people be responsible for their own actions. Even if you dole out only a seven day supply at a time nothing is stopping them from taking them all at once!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-54476981550582970682017-08-04T18:13:43.018-04:002017-08-04T18:13:43.018-04:00I can tell you from experience that when a doctor ...I can tell you from experience that when a doctor writes a prescription that a pharmacy/pharmacist does not want to fill they will tell you just that. My doctor wrote a prescription for a liquid narcotic and when I took the prescription to the pharmacy the pharmacist said he would not fill it and did not even want that on his pharmacy. So yes, they do have a choice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-89415816153250423162017-08-04T15:30:20.494-04:002017-08-04T15:30:20.494-04:0011:45 So glad you could reiterate that so eloquent...11:45 So glad you could reiterate that so eloquently for everyone. <br />10:58 I understood exactly what you were saying.
