[QUOTE="AdvantageR1, post: 2056692, member: 851"] I think they are going about the prescription med problem at the wrong angle. To say that the "pills are not the problem and the addict is the problem" is much more different that to say "the gun is not the problem the owner is" The addicts are becoming so because of the medications. Yes they are making the decision to doctor farm, steal prescriptions, and purchase them illegally, but it is because of their addiction that physically affects them. Before my major boating accident where I lost all of my guns, I did not physically need them and have a constant drive to shoot them or have them in my hands. I did so because I liked it (not needed it). I think there needs to be more education and awareness to doctors, pharmacists, dentists, and the public about prescription drug abuse. I think we need to have a more "real time" prescription medication tracking system. I think that we do need to educate the people writing and filling the prescriptions to monitor the network more closely to determine if someone needs help with an addiction, or if they believe they are farming to sell the medications then to contact law enforcement. Sorry just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
