So the headache pain medication the VA prescribes me costs a $$$$gazillion dollars not to mention the required psych care they OWE me for my military service--Why is it wrong for me to seek immediate pain suppression for ~$20 worth of crack since I can't AFFORD "Neprazol"--a $400 a month perscription? My pension is only worth that much from a country I defended???
Just asking...

You have a good point here. What the solution? Govt. reform. Before people have to get to that level the US has to take up the ideologies of other countries. Have universal Health insurance for everyone, but that won't happen b/c it is big buisness. The govt does not do anything unless it benefits itself. That even goes for its"own" people. There are many people who take illegal drugs for a variety of reasons. A lot of drugs have similar effects to regulated drugs. But just remember there are consiquences.
