Ron- It's always good to read your latest bulletin about the most efficient means currently available to glom onto several hundred OxyContin tablets. You've even spent the time necessary to figure out how much profit can be made by flying down to Florida and then re-selling them locally.
Please keep everyone up to date on any further discoveries you make in this area.
Your input is just without peer.

I have about 50,000 frequent flyer miles if anyone is interested. I'm selling 5000 miles a pop, all blistered and in descrete packaging.

You pay $300 for a round trip ticket to Fort Lauderdale. See three docs ($600), easily get 120 oc's each if not more. They run about $1500 cash each at the pharmacy so that's $4500. 360 oc's is well............you figure out how much they are worth!!!!!

Remember, docs don't talk to docs, pharms don't talk to pharms when it's all cash. When you use your insurance is when you get caught!!!! Keep it all cash and you're good to go right now. I

I watched this. I don't think I'd risk it and get three different scripts to the same meds though. thats just getting greedy and I think one could be caught.

this did make me want to move to Florida though. just seems like you've gotta jump through less hoops to get the meds that you know will work.

Also, there are mandatory minimums here, look it up. when you get caught doc shopping they weigh the pills, first offense and depending on weight, you are looking at 4 years, over 14 grams 20 years, over a lb or something more, life... mandatory, no pleas deals, no nothing, you do the time.

yes, docs do talk to docs, and you would be surprised how many pharms share info. even though the PMP in not fully enacted until the end of the year, pharms are already linking together to CTA. a lady at my pain clinic was just arrested last week for filling her script and filling another script at a hospital. they called the cops on her right there. she was freaking out.

also, there are mandatory minimums here, look it up. when you get caught doc shopping they weigh the pills, first offense and depending on weight, you are looking at 4 years, over 14 grams 20 years, over a lb or something more, life... mandatory, no pleas deals, no nothing, you do the time. and i dont want to hear our prisons are to full, you will get probation. i live here, i see it happen. they make room for people that are doctor shopping. florida cops live to bust people doing this. (even if they are legit CP patients) in their eyes no one needs that many pills, and they are probably right. there are accounts of people going to prison with legit prescriptions just because of the count and the DEA thinks no one should need that many pills so they hit them with intent to distribute even though technically some of them have done nothing wrong.

i dare you to go to 3 docs and take the chance that the 3 pharms are not connected. you MIGHT get lucky, my bet is you wont, even with mom and pop shops. the last 2 months my regular mom n pop was out, so they sent me to one 15 miles away, i was already in their system, then they sent me to another the next month i was already in their system. all different pharmacies, all independently owned. i would have had no idea unless my regular pharmacist had sent me over to these other pharms.

with the heat of all these news articles and the "oxycontin express", everyone is cracking down, out of state plates are getting pulled over by cops who stake out the pain clinics and pull people over as they pull out. they will literally take the medication and count it, if more than 1 pill is missing and there are other people with you, you are going downtown for distribution. if they find anther bottle of pills from a different doc, even more screwed. this is no joke. and if someone is with you and has a loose pill in their pocket and your bottle is one short, you get hit with distribution. florida is not the wild west it used to be.

go to you tube and google oxycontin and south florida. you will find way to many videos of people getting arrested and going to jail. all because of videos/amateur documentaries like this vanguard one. locals are also filming out of staters plates and sending them to the cops and posting on youtube.

in fact because of this most clinics have stopped seeing out of state patients. if you own property here they will see you with proper documentation and a referral. if not, see ya later. or here are 20 norco to get yourself home. they are all changing because of all this media hype. (most of them were legit all along, but there were some lazy ones) the lazy ones have woken up as they do not want to go to jail.

in 6 months 98% of these pain clinics will be gone. that is a fact. it is on the news every night.

go ahead and take the chances if you want. but if you end up in a florida prison, do not say i didn't warn you. florida is not all fun and beaches.

hop on a flight

When Joe returns home later, Ratso is in bed, sweating and feverish, and admits to Joe that he is unable to walk. Joe wants to take Ratso to a doctor, but Ratso adamantly refuses. He wants to leave New York for Miami; this has been his goal the whole time. A frightened Joe is determined to take care of his friend, and leaves the apartment to scrounge some money.

With the money, Joe buys two bus tickets to Florida. During the long journey Ratso's already serious physical condition deteriorates further. During a rest stop, Joe touchingly buys bright new clothing for Ratso and himself. As they reach Florida and near Miami, Joe talks about plans to get a regular job, only to ultimately realize that Ratso has died beside him. After Joe informs the bus driver, the driver tells him that there is nothing else to do, but continue on to Miami. The film ends with Joe seated with his arm around his dead friend, numbly staring out the bus window as row after row of palm trees go by.

jesus, those mandatory minimums are ridiculous. They are going to take a drug addict and throw him in jail for 3 years rather than just getting him the help he needs. WOW, all I can say is each time I see that [censored] it makes me irate and confused about this war on drugs. I mean honestly, they are issuing the same amount of time that a thief or rapist would get. And to think a child molestor in Vermont can get off scot free, but the drug addict in florida spends his life in prison. We need to take charge of our country, our founding fathers meant for us to govern ourselves, but most people just don't pay attention when our representatives trample on our rights, that is until it happens to them!

If one can "hop" anywhere, it's not likely they are suffering the level of pain that requires the stronger offerings among the array of pain medications.

Well, really, if you have a doctor that will give you 120 ocs a month and something for breakthru pain, if your not a cancer patient, you have a problem, and should be dealing with it.

Hey FB, I heard that the PMP will not be in full swing until the end of 2010. Do you know if this is true??

Also, can someone from Out of State be charged if they just go to one doctor down there, and do not distribute?

When was the last time you were ever on a plane? Do you really think people bunny hop onto a flight?? That's the whole idea of getting adequate pain relief is so you can live your life as "normal" as possible and go on flights and vacations instead of laying in bed all day in gut wrenching pain.

Posts like this from patient2all makes it quite obvious they have no clue of the true pain patient, they aren't a pain patient and have nothing to contribute to this forum.

Sad.
