Eh, not weird in America. Have you ever noticed how there’s like 8 billion pharmacies, with multiples on every block, in the US? Hint: it’s not the tampon and mouthwash sales that are keeping that many of them in business.
I know several people whose houses are like mini-pharmacies. Being old especially helps with that, I think. My grandma is one of them.
What I think is weird is that there is such an overwhelming supply in your social circle that someone has 12 Klonopin to spare, that they didn’t need themselves (and that this is true on a regular basis). When I mean people I know hold onto them, I mean like 1 or maybe 2 Vicodin, not practically an entire prescription’s worth.
Anyway, to me the two schools of thought are really about one school having respect for or understanding of the reasons they are controlled substances and the other school not caring. Which…whatever. Rock on.
Let’s leave the dating threads out of this, shall we?
The thing is Stoid, I’m not going to argue English usage with you. Copy and pasting stuff from the internet isn’t going to change my mind, and makes it more apparent what the vet must have had to deal with when you came in with your research. The thing is, it doesn’t actually convince anyone of anything beyond ‘this isn’t worth my time’ or ‘I’m dealing with an annoying person’.
Your latest comments made it even more clear that you live in a social circle where people pass around lots of controlled substances on a really casual basis. It’s really, really obvious now that the vet didn’t want to supply Valium to your entire social circle, but you don’t get how that could even be a concern for her.
What surprises me is that you, Stoid, don’t know ANYONE that would be reluctant to trade controlled substances. Not a single individual that would hesitate to pass out prescribed meds like candy. Me and my friends – well, I’ll be honest. We have a sort of relaxed attitude in certain areas. If I have an extra Vicodin, and my friend is in pain, yeah, I’ll probably share. BUT. I know a LOT of people who are kind of finicky about the law and such annoying things like that. My best friend’s brother, the cop? Yeah, I won’t offer him my extra percoset. My cardiologist? Probably won’t ask him if he has anything to calm me down, off the books so to speak. None of my friends would pop a dozen benzos in the mail because they wouldn’t want to deal with a visit from the good law enforcing people. You’re acting like it’s bizarre and unheard-of to even know people who follow the actual law that says “don’t share prescription meds.”
<raises hand> Um… I’m in space. Can someone squirt some vitamin V up my ass?
Except that never happened, remember?
Well if we are going to expand to everyone I know, yeah, probably there are people, but they are categories of people I would never dream of asking in the first place. But in my family and among my friends, the attitude is “relaxed”.
And I am not acting like it is bizarre unheard of, I heard of it the last time it came up and I got the news and now I’m acting like some people feel relaxed and other people feel not so relaxed.
You know, I have absolutely no way to prove it, but I feel confident that there are persons among those decrying the sharing of prescription meds because it is illegal who have smoked plenty of pot in their lives and never let the illegality of that trouble them too much. But we’ll never know…
That’s right; you have absolutely no way to prove that. There are after all, those of us here who have never used illegal drugs, nor have we used legal drugs illegally.
Earlier in this thread, I mentioned that I found myself wondering if the only way you would ever learn something is via incarceration. I no longer wonder.
Too bad veterinarians were not on your list of people you would never dream of hitting up for drugs.
Oh good grief.
Thank you. Not least because it doesn’t even make any sense.
Sit up and beg.

Wow, you should get a gold star or something!
Brownie points!
The “something” I get is not getting arrested for distributing controlled substances either in person or through the mails. I find that much better than a gold star.
Pot Brownie Points?
