A buddy of mine suffers chronic back pain (not like a sore back, but serious pain), and his doc prescribed oxycontin. It worked at the start, but now he eats them like M&M's. He is going to check himself into a detox. Not good stuff.
There have been a rash of Drug store burglaries here in the Boston area this summer for it. One group of yahoos however told the pharmasist to give them what they thought was the right pronunciation of the drug, so the pharmacist obliged. Turns out it was something that aided menopausal women. I think there buyers will be pissed.
