I remember sitting on two different occasions with two separate co-workers, both of whom were female, and both telling me nonchalantly about their prescription pill popping habits. One told me how whenever one of her friends got some for whatever ailment, she'd cop a few other. The other was telling me how she was popping like 4 Xanax a day, and her sis was doing like 6-8.

It seems that folks tend to think that because it's prescribed (even if not specifically to THEM) and you didn't have to buy it from some dirty drug dealer, it's socially acceptable. Rogue doctors and pharmacists have become the new drug dealers of today.
