Our doctors only give us a prescription for 30 at a time, yes- where do you get 146, and you better have a serious illness even for the 30.

She probably intended to sell them. This sounds like it is going to be a repeat of the "theft" the 2 guys called in because they were sold soap instead of Cocaine.

Lol this is rediculous my brother has cronic pain and only recieves 20 a month there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that a doctor would EVER prescribe that large of amount to a single being so i think instead of treating this as a theft case i think they should be looking into why this woman had 146 loratabs in her purse.

With the prescription drug crisis in our country, how bad could it be to legalize and control pot??!! If people were given an alternative to prescription pain killers, is it possible there would not be as huge a problem. I do not know what an appropriate solution would be, but legalizing pot would serve many areas that are in crisis right now. We would be able to empty some jails and prisons to free up space would be another benefit.
