**Well, personally, I stopped using over a year ago. It has too much of a propensity for abuse and the government has made it extremely difficult for doctors to write scripts without bringing undue heat onto themselves. The DEA issues a practicing physician or medical doctor a prescription blank pad. Pre-printed on it is the doctor's information and DEA's prescribing license number. The patient comes into the doctor's office with a legitimate pain that needs catering for more than one day or more than one month. The doctor writes out a small cheap script for 5mg Percocet just to see where you stand on the issue and to get your reaction. If you ask for the 50mg Percocet, or for a full lot of 100 you will be branded an addict and not given anything. So...you take what you get and you're grateful to even have that. Have you ever been made to feel grateful about something you need? You should be getting this by the lot fulls. So, you know, you have a plan to go back and load up again as soon as you can justify the script running out, you know.

**The next time you go to pick up a script the doctor tells you that you are feeling better and shouldn't need any more of those. Hey--if I was feeling better and didn't need any more of those...I wouldn't be here right now. What is happening is that doctors do not want "red flags" to go up at DEA headquarters. A doctor has a certain prescription profile and rate. That is the DEA's assigned "Schedule Control" number (assigned based on potential addiction/abuse) along with the number of narcotic scripts they write out over any given period of time. This constitutes a doctor's profile. If higher Schedules and/or higher rates of prescriptions are being processed with that doctor's licensing number back at DEA headquarters, red flags go off and the doctor starts to get harassed by the DEA. You know, that typical innocuous Fed visit. (I'm not doing anything, my name is John Gotti). All Feds like that one. It's good for a smile. They pressure and ask the doctor--without a warrant or legal subpoena--all sorts of personal and discreet medical questions about your private medical records. Private medical records?--there's an oxymoron. Who needs this shit? Wasn't that the original intent of the DEA to allow the medical community to determine by itself if a patient needs a certain remedy? They are not doctors. That is the whole purpose of issuing a licensing number and a script pad to the doctors in the first place. The government is not a doctor--it's a government. They are to govern, not scare or oppress.

**So the next time you get turned down for a script...don't pay the doctor. Tell him/her that you know what the problem is (pain) and you're here to receive an appropriate medical remedy. If you don't receive the remedy, you were not treated, your pain was left unmaintained and unmanaged, therefore, you don't pay. Makes sense don't it. Because it is true and it works in any scenario. You let the doctor know first off that you know what you're doing here and why. You know what you expect to get but you can't come right out and say it. If the doctor is a "pill mill" you need not worry. In a couple months you'll be getting just about whatever you want--not anything and everything but a nice comfortable legal package you can carry with varying levels of impunity. Check out your local and state laws on carrying/transporting. (You can get this information from NORML.com.)

**After a little bit of practice and a couple of "no fuckin way's" you will be surprised at how many doctors are pill mills and will prescribe you kindly. You just have to develop that knack and that "fetish" for what you need and actually be around the type and class of people you are approaching. A lot of doctors are really loose with the pen. They know what they have at their disposal and they know just how to do it while raising as few flags as possible--let them. Do not go in there with a plan to hustle them or get an easy, fat script, it is not going to happen. You will get the smaller, better, sustained-release morphine or codeine pills that pack a nice punch if you are a patient patient! Doctors are not morons and they will soon see through people who just walk in there like it's a soda line. Hence, the first script will be mild or a half script

Good luck and happy hunting. If your in northern NJ/NY, holla at cha boy!
