Went to pick up my Moms meds..DEA Agents Showed up NW NJ

Surprised the cops didn't body-slam you to the ground.

Morris County NJ-12pm As everyone is trying to prepare for a major holiday..I’ve never seen my Cvs Pharmacy so busy. As myself and about eight others wait to pick up our prescriptions..two individuals walk to the front of everybody and present the pharmacist with a document with the department of justice seal on top. The document was demand for an immediate inspection.

To my surprise the pharmacist a young and bold individual told them they could wait until all of those customers who are waiting online were taken care of . They agreed and the pharmacist proceeded to get us all out of there as fast she could.

As i waited, I acknowledged the two individuals (a man and a woman )and asked if they were from the DEA? The man Initially attempted to act as if he didn’t hear my question and attempted to avoid making eye contact with me. I asked again and he ever so slightly nodded yes as to not engage in conversation.

I said to him you know it really is a terrible thing that’s happening as far as the opioid crisis. It’s good that someone is doing something but you should also consider that these people are just doing their jobs and there are actually people who need pain medication to live productive lives. I hope you will keep that in mind as you continue to do your work.

The woman kind of laughed and the man gave me another slight nod. I then responded by saying, “ you may think that’s funny but you have the people behind the counter scared to death and good people are suffering because of it I don’t think that’s very funny. “

The pharmacist who knows me.. called me over to finish up my business as she saw I was steamed..

The thread the other day was no joke . The opioid crisis is causing unforeseen and major consequences to law abiding citizens. The system needs to be fixed and I’m not sure how .

On one hand I’ve seen at least eight or nine people in the past five years die from Opioid overdose.. The crisis is real, very real. But that doesn’t mean people who require controlled substances should be forced to live a more difficult life because of it.

Sorry I’ve gone on a rant here but the arrogance and lack of care by these DEA representatives made my blood boil. This pharmacy is pretty big and I’ve known these people for sometime they run a clean operation. It’s not a pill mail or small back alley pharmacy. I feel for those affected by This crisis.

I hope everyone has a great Easter God bless

Pharmaceutically distributed marijuana would solve a lot of the opioid problems----legalize it.

Take care Ralphyboy, what you are doing is MUCH safer than the other route.

Uh you are the snarky bich?
Its not our fault we found something besides opium and did good?
Sorry about your mom.
I bet you didn't even try to do or find anything different tho? So you have no bich on any of us?

I understand your anger, and agree the entire thing has swung to another extreme that is hurting a lot of innocent people, BUT ... the peeps you scolded are low level enforcement types doing a job.

The ones who really need to hear rants from people suffering due to the current political climate, are the legislators who make the shortsighted laws and regulations.

My answer? Legalize it all and let natural selection sort it out.

Sorry, I beg to differ. I have tried everything I can get my hands on. Pot makes my pain worse, and I get sick of seeing every reply saying, "use pot man." I don't care if you do or don't smoke pot, but it is not an answer for me. I was giving my mom some of my meds to the point I was running out early. I assume you have never gone through withdrawals no suffered from chronic pain, so don't judge me. I was not judging you nor anyone else. Just stating to keep the pot advice to yourself.

And I am the same snarky guy who donated $1k to the post you made for your friends dog Rex. So put that in your bowl and smoke it.

Why do you think we went to Afghanistan?
