Injured woman on crutches jailed for filling prescription
The CVS pharmacist called the cops saying she had a fake prescription. The cop takes her to jail based on his word. Her doctor disagreed. She’s suing. This is your brain on the drug war.

Wow, plenty of blame to go around.

Around 1-1/2 years ago, I walked to the pharmacy over lunch hour to see if they sold an Iodine suppliment for treating thyroid conditions. The pharmacist kept asking cryptic and intrusive questions about why I wanted it, where I had bought it before and what I was using it for. I told him several times it was to treat my thyroid, it was available from the same suppliment brand on his shelves and that I had bought it from a health food store. I wouldn’t give him my name or address as I was willing to pay for it and stop back to pick it up.
I had barely gotten back to work when the police showed up with their snitch. The cop watched me for a while but would repeatedly walked away when I asked what he wanted. Apparently the snitch didn’t know me (no surprise) because they eventually skulked off together.
6 months ago I read here that iodine might be used in the manufacture of meth. Huh. News to me.
I’m still pissed off at the pharmacy. I won’t do business there again. Nor will my family and friends. This is insanity. It’s time we ended the deadly, life destroying, and unproductive “war” on drugs.

Get government OUT of the drug issue. It has no business in it.

About 2 years ago CVS paid a $75 million dollar fine for allowing certain “individuals” to purchase too much pseudoephedrine. Looks like a little bit of overcompensation going on here.
I wonder if a court judgement against them would approach $75 million ?

@Jeffersonian: I suggest publicizing the name and location of the pharmacy along with your story. Let them face public censure for their actions.

I had considered that. Perhaps I should consider it again. It took me so long to figure out what had happened that I was caught quite off guard. Thank you.
