Pill Mills

Doctors may prescribe both Methamphetamine and Cocaine. Methamphetamine is available in the US under the brand name Desoxyn and is used for severe ADD and narcolepsy. Its a great alternative for people who experience bad side effects with the ususal stimulant treatments as methamphetamine has been shown to have the least serious and least occoring side effects of all modern stimulant medications. It comes in 5mg tablets. Cocaine is also still used as a topical anesthetic, specifically in eye, nose and throat surgery. Opium however, and im assuming we're talking about the type you smoke, im almost positive thats completly illegal.


Whoever posted about their mom on opium, are you sure she didnt say "opioid" or "opiate?" If it was prescribed for post op pain it would likley be one of the folowing: Morphine, Fentanyl, Dilaudid, Oxycodone or Buprenorphine. I cannot find a single reference to a pharmacutical opiod known by brand name or generic as simply opium. I'm pretty confident in saying it does not exist in the form your describing. Many many years ago opium was used as a pharmacutical, but modern medicine uses derivative alkaloids like morphine and codine ever since their were first isolated from opium in 1803. The word opium refers to the air dried milky substance that seeps from the pods of opium poppies. Opium contains around 25 different alkaloids including morphine and codine and is the raw material used to produce pharmacuticals.

 

We used to call them "script mills". Once a month we would make the journey from Flint to a seamy section of Detroit, and sit in an aging, decaying waiting room with about 30 other people. When my time came, as the "nurse" drew some blood, I'd tell the "doctor" that I have headaches, a cough, couldn't sleep and wanted to lose weight (I was skinny as a rail). For my $30 fee, I'd walk out with 30 percs, 8 ounces of Tussionex, 30 Placidyl ("pickles") and 30 Desoxyn.The only pharmacy that would fill all those scripts was a block away. The dirty docs brother was the owner/operator.
Paradise was interrupted after a couple years when LE broke up the party. (but I've still got my memories)

 

... my brother has been taking DTO (distilled tincture of opium) for 15 years, prescribed for IBS, irritable bowel syndrome.

 

You are wrong. It is used in some pharmacies. I've seen it on the shelf, and saw a pharmacist mix it up in a special cough syrup mixture many times in a small rural community. It's called opium tincture, like Sam&ella said. This is a pretty old thread, but it's never to late to be corrected.

 

There is a powdered, de-odorized prescribed form of opium. It comes in capsules and is called Pantopon.

 

Yes opium tincture. Not opium. A tincture is an extract, which makes opium tincture a pharmaceutical that uses opium as its raw material. In the case of opium tincture its an alcoholic extract that is also distilled, making it quite a different substance than raw opium, which is what I was referring to.

from my above post:
"Opium however, and im assuming we're talking about the type you smoke, im almost positive thats completely illegal."

and sam, you are right about the Pantopon. I didnt turn that up in my search.

 

Dude, it's opium in alcohol.

 

do tell where?!?
