But when state police start entering pharmacies to get full prescribing
records of anyone taking a Schedule II controlled substance like
Oxycontin-- as the Green Mountain Daily blog [hat tip to Daily Kos]

police, every pain patient -- and consider that some 30 percent of the
population suffers some form of chronic pain -- is junky slime.
