METHADONE ISN'T MIRACLE CURE
Substituting one addiction for another is not a miracle cure.
Methadone clinics prey on the weak, the helpless and the addicted and
all at the expense of the taxpayers. TennCare cannot cover the elderly
and the disabled, yet it pays for this legalized version of dope.
Methadone gets into the bones, eats away at the teeth and destroys
lives. Once treatments are started, it is impossible to stop, despite
what you may have been told. Life becomes an endless nightmare of body
aches, sweats and stomach cramps.
Miracle - not hardly. Madness - if you ask me, yes, but I'm not a
doctor. I'm just a mother who misses her son.
