This won’t work, dont get the addiction to start with, and if you do detox, just like food or drink, dont put it in your mouth over and over. Personal responsibility has gone out the window.

And what about the legitimate patients that truly need serious pain medications? This will make the legitimate prescribers of meds afraid to take care of the legitimate needs of the cancer patient or the long term sufferer of chronic pain. This type of legislation will only hurt the real patients and not the “druggies” who will be able to get off of the medication because they had no real need of the meds in the first place. While the legitimate patient will suffer needlessly because of you short sighted idiots.

Yes … it will be as effective as it is illegal to smoke marijuana.

What about people that eat too much and are addicted to food, should we create a database of people that are addicted to eating so we can monitor them? Or maybe break up the grocery/shopping centers so they cant get their fix in the same place.

What about people that have an addiction – these people are not trying to get high, they are keeping the withdrawal hell at bay. They may have truly needed the pain meds to begin with but became physically and mentally addicted to them. The people you are judging are housewives, clergy, teachers and even doctors, The opiate chemical is powerful. If this epidemic is to be controlled, there needs to be free or low cost rehab centers for people who are living with an addiction they can no longer control without professional help.

this is all a farce as far as im concerned, big deal, a database to track who is getting what. its a joke and wont do a damn thing to stop people from getting what they want, and more importantly..what they need. hello people, theses are addicts, do you really think they are just going to say…oohh a database, oh well no more pills for me..lol lets be real here!! proabition, did nothin, and niether will this. it is a waist of taxpayers money and a total invasion of americand privavy. what about the hippa act, may as well throw that out the window. now officials will have access to your medical records, will know who has diseases and who is sick. soon insurence companies will have access as well. good luck getting coverage when its public record that you have cancer or hiv. people will ulltimatly get there pills and no database or any other lamb brain tracking system will stop them. all this will do is force addicts to go to further extreme meassures and raise the street value of these pills. but make no mistake, they will get them!!! this whole program is a joke and it is unconstitutional, we may as well admitt it..we have become a communist goverment, people have no rites and now have no privacy. scott, you are a worm..first I commended you for standing up for people and their rights and for being so adiment about not having this database, but now you have all of a sudden changed your mind. good thing you are govener of florida, being you love the flip flop so much. your a putz, and either way your time is up, thank god…..get a grip people, this is not going away!!!!!

This should be just a start! Doesn’t go far enough to take care of the problem. Arrest a few doctors would help!

Make it harder to get drugs, then maybe — Ole Rush — would move to another state!
