Only one problem, kids manage to get hold of prescriptions issued to others 
in the family.  I spent one very wild night after one youngster got into his 
sister's prescription for valium that a stupid young doctor prescribed.  Kid 
damn near managed to kill himself off by the combination of the tranquilizer 
with the amount of alcohol he had in his system. 
 We are now hearing about the drugs that the French driver of Diana's car had 
in him along with the booze...drugs prescribed by some idiot doctor for his 
basic problem of alcoholism.   
 That is a classic example of the legal insanity of the medical profession 
where addiction and drugs are concerned!  Whatever is wrong, just fix it fast 
with better living with chemistry.  Including the use of the pot. 
 The drugs synthesized for pain are much more potent and have much less side 
effects than this noxious weed does.  There is no real excuse for its use 
other than the desire of those who are addicted to it to find some socially 
approved reason for having it around the house.
