DRUG IS A GODSEND

I have been reading and hearing on the news about the misuse of the
drug Oxycontin. It would not surprise me if the government either took
the drug off the market or made the manufacturer remake the product so
it could not be crushed.

What the world needs to know is this: Oxycontin, when used according
to doctor's directions is a godsend to those of us in constant pain.
It is time-released so as not to give anyone taking it a high or a
rush of drugs in the system.

Millions of people worldwide have a life today because of this
wonderful drug. Why should sick and terminally ill people have to pay
for the stupid actions of a few?
