It's not an issue of thick skin when you're taking a completely irrelevant joke I made months ago and trying to produce irony from an actual point I was making in this thread. I just thought it was presumptuous and foolish on your part... perhaps rude was the wrong choice of words.
Regardless, you still can't draw a valid comparison from me flipping one scrip when I was 20 years old to a doctor doing it dozens of times each day.
FTR, I understand that you're pretty anti-drug on all fronts, but it in no way means you're incapable of having a rational perspective on this particular subject. I think I've made it clear that I think prescription narcotics (and the millions of doctors who over-prescribe them) are a growing social problem.
I fail to see how you can make a distinction. You received a prescription after a legitimate doctor visit I presume) and sold the drugs. The personal responsibility is what I'm harping on most of the time because people who think similarly to yourself lack it. I am willing to bet that most people have gotten a prescription they didnt want or need and simply didnt get it filled. It really is as simple as "just say no".
To your other point regarding my feelings on drugs, I pretty much agree that mj is the least harmful and believe we are smart enough to regulate it. My feelings on this have changed due to the synthetic mj that has grown popular and is much more dangerous imo.
