    Around the country, pharmacies big and small are being targeted by drug thieves who steal prescription drugs like Oxycontin. In response, pharmacies have either had to stop stocking such abused popular drugs, or limited access to them, or install cameras or increase security. Some have gone so far as to put tracking devices in the bottles.

    Which brings us to an important comparison, medical marijuana dispensaries... There have been claims that dispensaries are a magnet for crime. Apparently no more than ordinary pharmacies... Dispensaries are robbed more often by government agents than by thieves.

    I wonder if they ever stop and ask themselves why the promote it so damn much. Its everywhere, turning people in to fiends. You got people jumping over the damn counter with a damn machete.

    Its sicking. On the news few days ago the topic was elderly taking to much daily pills. A few people said they take as many as 10 different a day. One old man said he has a harder time remembering and stays awake often.

    The industry was destroyed and greed ridden once they started advertising it on TV.
     
  3. Oh shit, Skip. Brought back memories of the early seventies when all our drugs were pharmaceutical grade stolen from pharmacies. Slightly ashamed to say the least! Mis-spent youth and all that!

    Is pot grown under unnatural lights natural to you? or are you talking about weed grown from the ground in a garden?

    fuck the pharmacies dude, the vets offices have WAY better drugs and are a lot easier to break into. Come on somebody, steal some ket and flood the drug market with it so I'll be able to find it again :p

    pharmacy stalkers look for people with fresh broken limbs, and hands on their faces like they have come from the dentist office, assuming these people are picking up narcotics. Easy targets for strong arming. elderly also,..

    The pharmacy delivery service is also a prime target. Most home deliverers are for narcotics/ In fact I never seen them bring anything other to my dads home.

    Just an old dude delivering the medications. There is no way he could fight off a would be thief, that could easy run up and snatch the bag of goods. Even if it isnt narcotics. Honing the skills for the next that is.

    drug chain stores that used to be in strip mall type stores. Focused on better security with the construction of new stores to combat these problems..
    fortifying entrance ways with barriers, camera surveillance, drive thru, and safes for narcotics..

    You know, I sometimes wonder why with cannabis and psychedelics out there why anyone would ever want another drug. I know people are into hard drugs because they're misinformed, or peer pressure, or addiction, etc. But still....

    It's like asking why people are greedy and why the world is the way it is.

    To each there own! Ketamine is around by the pile in Memphis and other areas around here, you just gotta be in the cirlce of people that do ketamine and shit like that, I can get it anytime, but don't much these days, But I'm tempted to go and get some and get K-holed, which I enjoy, K-holes are fun to me, but to each there own..lol
