2. Illicit use screws everyone

I'll even propose that if mild codeine pain relievers and cough formulas were available OTC again that could serve to shut much of illicit trade down. People are going to obtain these substances despite legality.
Unfortunately these days with so many drug seekers who can truly make my profession a major headache.
It's been long enough since this happened I can tell the jest of what happened with one of them long ago now. Patient made caring for alleged injured arm a major ordeal, guarding the arm, overacting the part, my ears ringing from dramatic raised voice.
Until. Patient's cell phone rang, Patient snatched up that phone and answered it with the alleged injured arm, completely oblivious the gig was "up".
It's system abusers like these that make it hard on those with legitimate need.
