Everytime something like this happens the DEA and FDA tighten that noose and make it that much more difficult for those of us with legitimate and serious needs to get the medications we need to get on with our daily lives.
Now I am not sure what "high" these people are chasing because in all my time taking opioids for pain I have yet to feel anything other then tired. I mean unless that is what they are looking for in which case you can get that from hitting the gym for an hour or doing some yard work, and then it is even a better "tired" feeling because you accomplished something.
Freaking morons! It is idiots like this that caused the change in procedures that means I have to drive to see the doctor every month rather then every 3 months.

Throw all that out the window and it is a piece of pie! I hope they throw every one of them in prison for the maximum sentence. Too bad there is no law against being a freaking moron.

Miami-Dade school officials had no immediate comment on the 84-count indictment, which came days before classes begin Monday.
