Legal drugs
 Okay, so my kid (34) gets in a head on wreck awhile back, and walked away. The tow truck drivers were amazed, because usually when the engine comes into the passenger compartment, things get really bad for the occupants. If they weren't launched through the wind shied first. Luckily he was driving, cause the engine ended up in the passenger seat. A few days go by and his back starts hurting. He refused medical transport at the wreck, dummy. So he goes to his doctor explains his ailments and tells the doc, no narcotic type drugs, specifically. Doc gives him these "new" painkillers, non-narcotic, supposedly. The kid starts wolfing them down like no tomorrow, come to find he has three crushed disks. The pharmacy notices he's refilling his script way too often and cuts him off.  Now's when we find out the drugs weren't so "non-narcotic". After the paramedics evaluate him in a catatonic state, with tremors, delirium, confusion, throwing up, they tell him he's going through withdraws, and needs hospitalization, in case he stops breathing. Which he finds out through the paramedics is common with that particular drug. How fucking lovely. His doc doesn't know these "new" drugs are more addictive than heroin. Time for a new doc.
