After all, New Hampshire’s state motto is “Live Free or Die.” This was where the very idea of peaceful civil disobedience was born in the U.S. So when a police officer in Barre, Vermont (population: 9,291) decided that a woman with mental illness wasn’t moving to comply with his requests, he decided to arrest her. And when the woman still wasn’t moving to allow herself to be arrested, Cpl. Henry Duhaime of the Barre (Vt) Police Department apparently decided to pull out his Taser, instead of his radio to call for backup.

Odd…but very respectable! I just want to tell you, as a scum-sucking addict, how grateful I am for pharmacists who DO NOT cater to those in active addiction. Obviously, I used to HATE people like you, who were not only doing their job, but doing it well. I now attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings several times weekly, and I would likely not have gotten here if not for good pharmacists like yourself making it even more difficult to feed my addiction. I hope you continue to write informative and entertaining articles in this blog, and I hope that your day is a good one.

An enforcement officer from the Pharmaceutical Services Depart–ment, which raided the clinic on Sunday, said the addicts only had to rub their noses and say the word “nose” at the dispensary counter as the code. The authorities detained a 40-year-old doctor and confiscated 1,600 psychotropic Nospan pills. “The suspect has allegedly sold more than 3,400 Nospan pills at RM1 each,” said the officer, adding that the pills were a favourite with drug addicts as they could help them remain in a hallucinatory state for eight hours.

Ain’t it the damn truth! I’m in hell. I’m in agony.  And, I’m alone in it. A little history……around 25 years ago, I was diagnosed (again) as bipolar. This was after an unwilling and unwanted admission to a psych ward.
