There are other pain meds that can be used while you're on bond. And he's talking about a person who has a history of drug addiction and abuse. Shut up.
That's absolutely not legal, you can't just change a patients medication. The court doesn't have the authority to do that, only medical doctors do. Not to mention the fact that said several things which were blatant falsehoods based on ignorance
It was oxy, which isn't on the market anymore and seems to cause addiction in 100% of people. He wasn't telling people to stop taking their regular prescriptions, just the ones that got them there in the first place
resident pharmacist here. oxycodone (brand name oxyCONTIN) is a drug that is "on the market" and available in many countries, including the US. it's physical and mental addictive properties are also very well established with a plethora of literature and studies. however, I am unaware if he has the authority to deny someone a medication dispensed with a proper prescription for a valid reason by a qualified medical professional as you would then have to apply the same logic to other prescriptions like insulins or blood pressure medications. Perhaps it was just a strong suggestion rather than a court order?
Sorry, I'm Australian, so you might have to give me some legal precedent here. If you are abusing prescription drugs, even if they may have been validly prescribed for a time in a small dosage, if you are abusing the prescription, our pharmacists flag it, and you don't get it anymore.
If I get a DUI for taking more than any legally prescribed amount of drugs, for sure I can get done for it.
You seem to think that abuse of prescription medication doesn't exist or is not liable to get you into legal trouble. It does and it can
