    It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.

      Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.

      Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.

      To be fair, I work in hospice and we have run into situations where family members would help themselves to patient comfort meds if they could gain access. It’s not a bad idea to track who has access along the way.
