Re: Re: To Tum OTC codeine

[Guest guest]

I just had to add my feelings on this. The USA is so far behind in healthcare

in so many ways. I think that it is great to offer that over the counter. I

feel that people should be able to buy things like that. I mean let's get real,

if people are going to get high they will find a way to do it! Even if it

means sniffing glue.

For instance, my husband and I went in to Wal-Mart tonight. He was buying

some Slick 50 for my car. It is a fuel additive or something. ( I don't know

much about that sort of thing.) They asked to see his license. I said why do you

need to see his license to buy a fuel additive. The cashier said people use it

to get high. Now that is desperate. I was so shocked. Anyway, I don't see why

docs can't trust people more with meds and have a little faith. Our country

is still in the stone age when it comes to pain management!
