Percocet Abuse

I'm going through a horrible divorce, what scares me the most is the behavior of a Percocet abuser. When I decided I had enough my daughter was 2 and my son 1. I can't understand how the government allows this to go on. It's literally walking into a pharmacy with a prescription and to a person who is abusing the dosage it's not a pain killer it becomes a synthetic heroin.

This is such an epidemic they all buy scripts from each other. I watched him and his friends walk into pain management centers for pain killers---what pain everyone is home smoking weed collecting unemployment because the unions threw them out. The doctors and pharmacies don't care they're getting paid by insurance companies.

The amount of Percocet and Roxicet in Staten Island and Brooklyn is disgusting. I have a good idea---if our unemployment rate is high why doesn't the government hire more officials to crack down on this, it's not hard to pin these people out raspy voice pinned out pupils and the inability to sit for more than a minute.

I really wish the government could pass a law that if you abuse these pain medicines you are classified as a drug addict, maybe then fathers like him couldn't win joint custody.
