Greatest thing about Americans traveling here in France is that they have these amazing painkillers we don't have.
shareProblem with these drug is they have cool names. if vicodin was called bogspalm no one would take them. and also oxycontin sound like it is a space station so instead call it something like dogshit not something cool like name of a transformer. Is simple
shareYes, very delicious.
shareA Canadian company created Oxycontin and have been sued over and over. I am surprised Oxycontin is still available.
share$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
shareThey have paid out at least $600 million and are still making the stuff.

tldr all of it, but it's the same with big tobacco, incredibly high fines and lawsuits but still making money, lots of money.
sharePills are bad. Keep it green.
shareAre you trying to say that France has oxy and vicodin and America doesn't?
shareI think you can get them without a script
shareWow. Last time I was in Canada you could buy codeine over the counter but that hardly compares.

although codeine never did anything for me, it IS surprising you could buy it over the counter.. But then again, in Australia, they had something over the counter that had some (Panadol i think). On two separate occasions, a nurse gave me a morphine pill, and on both occasions, they didn't work, so it must be the codeine-base..
shareBad stuff!
shareDon't do it.
shareI had a minor operation on my knee about 7 years ago
No big deal...all cool now, just a shredded knee
The Doc gave me a 60 pill prescription for Oxys with a refill option
He told me to take no more than 4 per day...!
4 per day?!? I couldn't handle one
What I learned was that pills will sap your strength, destroy your awareness and leave you broken up on the couch watching re-runs of old shows for days
Pills are awful, I tossed those little bastards on day three (I felt like I was in space and not in a fun way)
I found Rum and weed to be excellent for pain
Pills are very bad...I lost a good buddy to pills
