Prescription drugs, a problem? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the government and the FDA in charge of pharmaceutical drugs,
the dispensing and classification of them? Are they dying more by t6he pill or the gun? Wheres the focus on these issues, death by pill or
death by AR-15? Why is common Marijuana classified as a schedule one drug and opiates like Oxycodone or Meth classified as a schedule 2
substance, lesser penalties for both usage and possession? The major difference between a street level drug pusher and a licensed ` practioner ,
dentist, doctor or registered nurse, is all in the hands of our politicians, those who qualify big pharmacy while shooting down natural medicine,
incarcerating potsmokers and any other option besides "legal" drugs. Yes, heroin is becoming the drug of choice, its cheaper and every bit as potently
effective as Oxy is, and to the addict it is cheaper than buying pills on the street. If you sense that we have a drug problem here in America, thank
your politicians who've so heavily penalized those who opt for simple marijuana rather than slave body drugs made by Merck, Smith Kline and French,
and the whole industry of pill-pushers who've changed the complexion of society through legislation without insight nor foresight as to an outcome.

^ Yup! Knee jerk, duct taped patchwork of idiotic laws that don't work or adress the problems. Took years and years to admit failure and get rid of the Rocafeller Law in NYS while thousands (addicts and society) suffered for it. Now the big pharma lobby has us by the short hairs and no one will get in front of that money train.

Not only the big pharma lobby -- how about checking into our politician's investment portfolios?

That business owner was 100% right! Did he beat the guy up at the end? Not on camera, but I heard some bumps and thumps! I like the part where the business owner admits his wife was right (she said the guy had to be a drug addict if he's white, 31 years old, and lives in Hempstead) and he shouldn't have hired the guy!

He would be wise to require any applicant to sign and agreement to take a drug test before employment especially if driving is involved.I don't think its that expensive there are medical Ctrs. on LI that do it.
