Full story: NewsOK.com

Sherri Carwithin was lying on the hardwood floor of her south Oklahoma City home when police found her body, clad in pajama bottoms and a T-shirt. Perched on her chest was her small dog, Patches, who growled at the arriving officers.

All of these people addicted to opiates like oxycontin, methadone, suboxone, heroin...should try iboga. It worked for me. I went to the iboga house in Costa Rica and they are having a contest right now where they are giving away free addiction treatments. Trying to spread the word to help someone.

Why don't they hold the doctors accountable for writing these prescriptions?
Most laws,when made,are carefully designed not to infringe on people with money way of life.
Next time you drive your Escort to the hospital. Look over to the doctor's parking lot. Count how many Lincolns,Cadilacs and BMWs,etc are there.
Who has the money?

Well I'm not sure where all you okies have been but it's not like we just started having addicts! I mean at least in my town theres meth everywhere! Now they can shake and bake it their car. Tand it only takes 2 hours! As for the pharmacies only being able to sell certain amts of sudafed that doesn't keep em from making em. Think you make meth, you have 10 friends each of you guys to the pharm buys 90 count sudafed twice a month! Lot of meth! And shit oxy took over our schools hardcore! Young kids too!! My best friends brother couldn't accept a full baseball scholarhsip for oxy and went to a half way house instead at 18r ,,, Kids start young here around freshman! Although back then I really only did pot we'd smoke before school, smoke at lunch and go back to schoool and yea we looked stoned as hell but not one teacher ever said a thing!

Just a few days ago there was an article that nearly 7 people a day died from Oxycodone alone last year in Florida.

Oklahoma has 2 deaths a day from overdoses. It is now ranked #1 for painkiller abuse.

Are people in Oklahoma smarter than people in Florida? Or do our article writers need to fact check a little better?

(My conclusion is that this is probably based on percentages, and not actual numbers.)

Nuthin is going to change as long as the Okie court system is a revolving door. Most people arrested these days have multiple felonies on their records.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Sagittarius

Is someone wanting to prove a point and show what a free spirit they can be? Today, they could get involved with someone who's in complete contrast to their own personality or who everyone decides is wildly unsuitable as a prospective partner. The more anyone protests about this, the more determined this person will be to follow their heart. So keep quiet!
