Am I the only one that think the grammar is too good to be true?

[–]Iamsuperimposed 670ポイント671ポイント  (39子コメント)

Not all drug users/dealers are morons. The fact they said this in a review is what makes me think it's not real.

[–]ArchScabby 179ポイント180ポイント  (29子コメント)

That's the thing, I don't think a smart person who has a drug problem would write something like this.

A man in my state recently called the cops to complain that he got too high smoking weed. They found him curled in the fetal position surrounded by Doritos, goldfish crackers, and chips ahoy cookies and said he couldn't feel his hands. I'm not even joking.

I'm not coming down 100% on whether this is real or fake... just saying I've seen drug addicts do crazier/stupider/stranger shit in real life, right in front of me.

[–]HalfysReddit 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

As an ex drug addict, I'm pretty certain it's fake. Not that it being real is impossible, but more so because it being fake is way more probable.

Drugs will make you do shit like hallucinate, have delusional thoughts, have incredible urges to do things you normally wouldn't want to do.

Know what it doesn't make you do? Leave Yelp reviews for bad drug dealers years after a bad score.

        My favorite was a review some lady left for a nail salon. She asked the salon to throw her 7 year old daughter a birthday party. They said they don't throw children's birthday parties. She bullied them into doing it anyway, and then left a one star review because they didn't do a good enough job.

        I ran across a review for a contractors wholesale plumbing supplier (It's what I do). It complained she didn't get good customer service in the showroom and was not allowed to purchase a faucet. Bitch, it's because you have to be licensed to shop there and faucets come in lots, not individually, from wholesalers.

        Without meaning to offend you at all, I think that most people think about intelligence in a very strange way.

        A "stupid" person can learn the task of bricklaying or welding or whatever and while we may be impressed by their skill occasionally, observing that they are capable in that activity is not commonly seen as an immediate and convincing indicator of intelligence.

        But being good at speaking and spelling and grammar is instantly and quite automatically seen as an indicator of intelligence. I've met people who spoke more competently than others and just seemed smarter than the average person. And part of it is that I liked their ideas, but isn't it an odd coincidence that the people whose ideas we like the best are those who are best able to communicate their ideas?

        Seems to me that really the task of constructing a sentence or communicating some ideas competently is not more or less complex than some others things that don't get commonly associated with intelligence, like bricklaying or welding.

        Of course some people seem more able to think pragmatically or logically or creatively, but I'm not sure that the efficiency or skill with which a person communicates is as reliable an indicator of those traits as we seem to all assume they are.

        Edit: had to finish a sentence that I just kinda left hanging. Poor communication; I'm stupid.

        [–]domuseid 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I think adaptability and quick thinking are pretty universally considered along the same lines. But I also think the layer of abstraction between actions and descriptions is a pretty decent way to snap judge intelligence. Obviously there will be exceptions, but I don't think you'll find a stupid person who can perform those things very well as often as you'll find a smart person who can't communicate well, if that makes sense.

        In fact there's actually a correlation between intelligence and drug use, especially with psychedelics.

        I agree though - as a reasonably intelligent person, ex addict, and current drug user (just nothing that makes me sloppy), this story just seems way to improbable.

Every prescription was counted three times for accuracy. That, and we have cameras.

              My wife is a manager at Walgreens. One of her previous stores was a hotbed for robberies and drug users. Located right outside the ghetto. She said once a week the front cashier was robbed. Everyday she saw crackheads walk in to do fake returns. The pharmacy had to call the cops for something like this post at least once per week. It was bad. The pharmacy puts all its heavy drugs like this in a time-locked safe. Even a legit prescription cannot be filled quicker than 30 minutes. Too many times idiots were too focused on the dream of scoring their drugs that they would literally just wait in the chairs in front of the pharmacy until the cops just showed up and put them in cuffs. Other times people would just walk to the back with guns to hold up the pharmacy only to realize they literally could not get what they wanted. Luckily most of the time they were unloaded guns. And Walgreens never agreed to pay the additional cost to have a security guard on hand. Instead the police just had to regularly patrol the area.

              [–]hedic 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

              [–]Mythic514 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Same. What baffled her is that they paid for security in another city, and in denying to pay to get them security at her store they cited the fact that it wasn't being robbed enough. When, in reality, there was a robbery probably at least once per week, and probably one at gunpoint every 3 weeks. Highest incidence of crime in the district and surrounding districts. Luckily, she never worked a shift where the front register was robbed, but she was there for plenty of times when cops arrested shoplifters or drug users trying to get a script filled.

                Scripts are written a certain way. Usually T 1-2 q 4-6° prn p (there are little dots on the t, but I'm writing this on the phone.)

                The most obvious ones that I have seen are emergency room scripts with an extra zero (most are written for 20)

                Or the dose is way too high. Plus as other people have mentioned, the script is too neat. But nowadays if it's a handwritten script from a doctor who is a. out of town or b. A doctor who usually prints them on a computer, the pharmacy will call to verify. Most of the time it's legit, but sometimes it's fake.

                If it's fake and the script gets filled, it could come back to the pharmacist on file and they could lose their license.

                [–]Headwallrepeat 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

                Not unless the pharmacist knew or should have known it was a fake. Some forgers are really good, and technically the pharmacist is the victim of the crime.

                [–]the_starship 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

                technically. Most pharmacists I know would probably rather err on the side of caution than have an investigation be opened up to see if they were guilty of negligence. Even if it turned out they did no wrong, they still might have been suspended/fired until the investigation was completed.

                [–]Headwallrepeat 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

                I don't know where you live, but I am a pharmacist and have been for 25 years and have never seen the situation you describe ever happen. No pharmacist wants to fill a fake, and will investigate anything that sets off red flags. The most I have seen being done is having to go testify for a grand jury against the forger.

                The only exception I can think of would be where they have filled continuous prescriptions for patients that were outside legitimate practice. But that is way different than getting fooled by a forgery.

                [–]the_starship 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

                I've never seen it happen either. Most pharmacists that I work with usually give the "it's my license on the line" when they want to call on something seemingly suspect.
                I've also never seen a pharmacist get duped by a fake. I did one time catch a receptionist call in fake scripts from the doctor's office and pick them up tho.

                  Sometimes it's as simple as the number of pills the script is for. Some people will try to tack on an extra zero to the "30" on the script. Certain pills are more desirable, so a script for a high mg non-extended release pill for a 110 lb. woman not in apparent pain is a red flag. Depending on how small the town is, the pharmacist may sense something is off based on their history with a doctor. People coming in from out of town or out of state can also be red flags.

                  I live in Massachusetts and worked for Walgreens as a Pharmacy Intern for a number of years. The state and the company have both taken considerable efforts to control the rampant use of pill-mill pain clinics and phoney scripts.

                  One thing we have is a state database of every patient prescribed certain drugs in the state. These include opiates that are not formulated with acetaminophen. Percocet and Vicodin are not really abused because taking anything more than the prescribed dose will kill your liver.

                  On this database, we can see what was prescribed, for how much, the strength, the doctor, when it was prescribed, and if they paid cash or used insurance.

                  Patients that have lots of scripts from different doctors is an indicator that they may be getting a bunch of prescriptions from unknowing doctors. Another indicator is how consistent their dose has been. Something significantly different from what they normally get also raises flags. The biggest red flag, though, is if the patient paid in cash. An insurance company won't approve payment for something that the patient already filled that month. To avoid this, people pay cash to get several months worth of drugs within a single month. These things don't always mean the script is fake, but they definitely merit further looking into.

                  We have to fill out paperwork and check all these things before you can dispense the drugs. If a pharmacist suspects something, they will either call the doctor for verification or refuse the script. It's their professional license on the line and a pharmacist has the right to refuse to dispense any script that gives them pause.

                  Also, at least in my state, a lot of CII scripts are printed on a very particular kind of paper with a thermal indicator. If you put your finger on the spacial spot on the back, it reacts and fades away until it cools. These are all professionally formatted and look very much the same, regardless of where the script comes from. Handwritten scripts aren't unheard of, but they are becoming more and more rare with the progress of technology and need for security.

                  Colorado has a program that allows you to search a patient in their database and see what controlled substance RXs the patient has filled at ANY pharmacy. It was pretty fishy when a person that was not a "regular" at the pharmacy shows up with a controlled substance RX. They always wanted it filled ASAP too. You could log in to the program and see "Joe Blow" had filled the same RX for #270 tabs the day before at the pharmacy down the road. Obviously not everyone that was new to the pharmacy was trying to scam us but you really had to be skeptical because it happens often.

                  Honestly, a younger black person filling a script in all-white former sundown town was what caused a second-look the only time I've seen this happen.

                  Wife is a front-end manager at Walgreens. She says it is impossible not to know who is looking to fill a fake script the second they walk through the door. She says they are often high out of their minds when they come to fill the script. She just calls the pharmacy to let them know to expect it, and they will typically go ahead and call the police.

                    Prescription looks "too good". The prescriber’s handwriting is too legible.

                    Do you have proof of that? From the link that has been posted in this thread for the DEA website, it sounds like the only thing illegal would be to knowingly accept a forged prescription. Being presented with a fake prescription and not reporting it isn't illegal, but it's obviously strongly encouraged to report it. They are not an arm of the law, and the pharmacist could have simply sent her on her way.

                    My wife is a manager at Walgreens. Granted she does not work exclusively in the pharmacy, and their pharmacy policies are different than their front-end policies. But she does often fill in back there. She makes it sound like it is company policy to report it and call the cops, who will always respond when called. Probably varies by state if its legally required. But if its Walgreens' policy, that is gonna affect a lot of pharmacies nationwide (and now throughout Europe).

                      As someone who needs pain medicine just to get through regular daily activities, people like this piss me off. Not only are they breaking the law, but they make it difficult for those of us who legitimately obtain our meds to be able to do so.

                      Actually, it has never been easier to get your ADHD medication. It wasn't that long ago that you had to have the prescription filled within 72 hours of when it was written and doctors could not give you 3 rxs with post dated fill dates on them, so regardless of if you needed to be seen every month you had to go to the clinic.

                        The people who are seeking these medications illicitly are in just as extreme medical need as yourself. Addiction tends to stem from untreated depression, unliveable socio-economic circumstances, both, or something worse, all of which are far worse than the temporary pain of surgery or a broken limb and perhaps just as bad as chronic pain, or disease. There are certainly more effective and safer avenues of medication for people with mental disorders but often times people don't even know they have these disorders, or the disorder stems from abuses, or circumstances that alienate the person from normal society or render them incapable of seeking out proper treatment.

                        Why your comment is being downvoted is beyond me. You're absolutely right. The person who wrote this review is clearly very addicted and needs help. What they don't need to is to be arrested and become a felon. That will probably just make their addiction worse.

                        I agree completely. I was once addicted to opiates due to my untreated bipolar disorder. People with bipolar often seek out opiates because it provides a recognizable high, which is easier to manage than the ups and downs associated with the disease. Sure, people who write fake scripts suck, but they need just as much help as people with chronic pain. Mental illnesses are real diseases and sometimes it's hard for people to recognize that.

                          I'm not a chronic paint patient, although some days I think I could be. (But so far I'm still managing on cycling the OTC meds and cussing a lot.) I just hate seeing people in genuine pain being fucked with and side eyed when they want some damn relief.

                          I have serious feeling on this matter, my stepdad died in agony because the doctor were concerned he would "become addicted". Fuck that, he could be as addicted as he wanted, he was non-mobile and terminally ill. We all knew he was dying, the least they could do was let him die without screaming agony.

                          Sorry to unload on you, he's been gone 9 years yesterday and I am feeling very conflicted. I hope you find a doctor that will see beyond the "addict" stereotypes and take care of you. There's one out there, I know good doctors exist. (But my insurance won't pay for them.)

                          Fellow Zebra (seriously who came up with that moniker) here, and I'll join you in that big "fuck you" shout. I'm on the lucky side now where I finally found a doctor who understands, but god damn fuck pain clinics. Fuck Vanderbilt pain clinic specifically. I'm not spending hours of my life and shitloads of money for insurance to get high or sell pills. I'm not looking for pills to get high. I'm seeking treatment because I'M IN FUCKING PAIN BECAUSE MY COLLAGEN DOESN'T WORK AND MY JOINTS DISLOCATE AND IT FUCKING HURTS. MY GOD IT HURTS. I DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT THE ABSENCE OF PAIN IS LIKE ANYMORE. But no, not even with legitimate diagnosis, referrals from within your own damn hospital system or from the ER when my shoulder massively dislocated will you do anything more than judge me and treat me like an addict at every turn and not provide the treatment I am coming to you for. Oh I'm sorry ms. nurse that I'm not showing signs of pain when you finally come visit me. Maybe its because i've been lying down in the patient room for over an hour and a half waiting and as I've described thats the only position that lets my pain subside. And why yes, I do see you every month and no I've never tested positive for any drugs not prescribed to me. No I do not sell or give away my drugs to anyone. No the extended release ibuprofen still isn't helping that much. Yes we have gone over all this every month for the last X months and the pain has not gotten better and you still will only give me fucking tramadol which makes everything feel "meh" or makes me depressed and leaves me with a horrible headache that feels like my brain is sore. And no for the 5th time that other medicine will not work because I do not produce that cytochrome enzyme which is helpfully documented by the genetic test I paid $500 for out of pocket and gave you which you will not acknowledge. Why yes thank you so much Vanderbilt pain clinic. You are so very helpful. I'd love see you next month to be interrogated again. Maybe we'll actually do something ABOUT MY FUCKING PAIN next time.

                          Well I wasn't intending to rant, but it ended up being cathartic and and will probably never be read. So there ya go.

                          On the plus side of things I actually managed to get into a doctor who is good and treats me like a patient and not a scumbag. It is ridiculous though how horrible the current system is for people like us who need care though. They're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

                            • My cousin who was arrested for driving a car with a meth lab in the trunk and three (or four? I don't remember how many kids, they weren't his.) unrestrained kids bouncing around in the back seat.

                            • His daughter, who is a meth head, falls in love with any man who offers her money or sex, and has two or three kids with gawd awful misspelled names. Ks and Ys everywhere.

                            • The uncle who got arrested for riding a bull drunk to the liquor store.

                            • The Uncle who robbed a pharmacy to steal narcotics, but ended up stealing three huge bottles of.... well, two were antibiotics and googling the third name I think its for athlete's foot.

                            People are stupid. Very stupid. And the most frightening part personally is I share their genes. (Well, the first two, number 3 married into our clan and number 4 is adopted.)

                            For the proper mental effect, the bull was not bucking or fighting this in any way, just sort of aimlessly ambling toward a liquor store. (or in the case of the arrest, away from a liquor store.)

                            He was drunk and wanted more booze. He knew DRIVING while drunk was wrong (because he's an idiot, but a decent sort of idiot) and he didn't want to ride his horse because the horse is an asshole.

                            So he rode the stud bull, tied it up in front of the store and bought his alcohol. While he was riding home one of the 40s fell out of his bag and the cap popped off. So he picked it up and drank out of it while he was riding the bull home.

                            He got arrested under the open container law.

                            I used to work at a Walgreens in the photo lab. One of the pharmacy techs was coming into the building one day and a guy out in the parking lot tried to sell her drugs. He was dumb enough to do it even though she had her vest and nametag on, and he didn't even leave when she told him flat out she worked at the pharmacy.

                            She called the cops when she got inside, and they arrested the guy. The manager asked me to take a picture of him for store security. I'll never forget the look of total defeat on his face as I snapped a photo and he sat on a chair by the pharmacy, surrounded by cops, looking totally defeated.

                            Moral of the story: don't push your luck

                            I know it is fake but I could definitely see people complaining. At our pharmacy, whenever someone tries to bring in duplicate scripts for controls that they had filled somewhere else and are trying to get early, we write "too soon" and the date when it can be filled for when they try to bring it somewhere else. We have had people ask for the number to our corporate office, threaten to call the cops and threaten to hurt us because we have "no right" to write on their script they're pharmacy hopping with. One lady even told us she owned a pharmacy and said we were violating her rights by doing that.

                            When I see people that are so utterly disconnected from reality, I wonder how long before this all ends.

                            Rule number one, don't touch my Percocet. Rule number two, do you have any Percocet?

                            It reminds me of that episode of Cops where there's a crazy guy on a roof screaming about killing himself if he doesn't get heroin.

                            Awesome cop says, "Well come down and we'll give you heroin."

                            And he came down.

                            I guess sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution.

                            Percocet are great, though. I'd totally fake a script if I thought I could get away with it.

                            That's the thing though, so many people are trying to do that that it's hellish. I have legitimate need for the stuff and they need a physical script + a call from the doctor anymore to even process it. They gave me hell trying to get it initially.

                              I agree. That's why I've taken the workable approach and migrated my addiction to beta-endorphins, AKA hard work.

                              good for you man I don't see the addictive quality of them but perhaps that is just me, took 15mg percocet every day for 2 weeks and got off with maybe a small withdrawal period, never any urges. was it like this for you?

                              I had a some neighbors that were both arrested because they were scamming scrips. She worked at the pharmacy and would fill fakes for her brother. Next thing you know Po Po showing up at their door to take them to their new home. I didn't find out about what they were doing until his summons was delivered to my mbx by mistake and by then they were long gone.

                              They were trying to help you more than just get you busted. Maybe now you can get the help you need. I hope with all of my heart that you have hit your bottom and get help for yourself. Good Luck. Even if this isn't true, maybe someone just like you will read it and get their life turned around.

                              Why do people need to fake? Go to a "pain management center" and its one step down from that scene in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory where the candy guy is flinging his wares all over. I came in for cluster headaches and a skateboard injury and got scripts for fent, oxy, 8mg dillies (hnnngggg), and of course hydros. All I had to do was get my pills counted once, and sign a paper that said I wouldnt give them to anybody else. Believe me, I didnt intend to. I would give the most bullshit excuses to the doctor there too. I lost them, these arent working, I lost my pills again, these make me sleepy, these keep me up, and he would just smile and say "Sure thing, just put a few capfulls of hydrogen peroxide in the bottle and shake it up really well to throw it out when you get home". In hindsight, handing over heavy narcotics to a 22 year old was unethical, immoral, and could have destroyed my life. I'm clean now, but it was so hard to justify quitting when I wasnt doing anything illegal, and the doctor was telling me I deserved to not be in pain.

                              Why would you get a percocet scrip if you could just get plain oxycodone? Same high without fucking your liver.

                              I stopped b using Walgreens because of their attitude toward people prescribed narcotics. I was treated like a junky and I didn't appreciate that at all. They're too expensive anyway, I put them in the "shitty pharmacy" category just like CVS.

                              I know a few very successful people addicted to Percocet. They are completely functioning but don't want to pay street price of $30 a pill so they eventually risk it and write the fake prescription. That's the dumbest part, don't they know how easy it is to get a real prescription!

                              holy shit this is like the exact same fact pattern as the mock case i am prosecuting in trial advocacy class, except the chick filling the scripts was conspiring with the doctor who found her on the street and took her in.

                              See, here's my only thing. There's a LOT of people addicted to oxy. Like, hundreds of thousands. Doctors give them out like candy, then they shut people down. Oxy is almost identical to heroin on the molecular level. It's basically legal dope, and socially acceptable. People are on it for months and months, just going about their lives, then they get cut off with no support. Think about heroin addicts. They go on methadone or whatever.

                              The person on this post was probably just so used to getting his fix and keeping things going that the idea of someone calling the cops on him for getting more didn't even occur to him, and he didn't even think of himself as doing anything wrong.

                              InB4 the downvotes, I'm not saying he's right, I'm just saying that maybe we should be looking elsewhere for our righteous indignation, and realize that a lot of people are on this drug by no fault of their own. I got in a motorcycle accident last year, and near the end of my treatment I told my doctor I wanted to switch to something else. So he gave me a scrip for 100 tramadol instead, but then threw in another scrip for 100 oxy... just in case. Think about that. I told him I didn't want any more, so he only wrote up 100, just in case I felt like I needed them.

                              TL;DR: meh, oxy. It's a hell of a drug.
