Sorry buddy, I'm with her on this one. Do you HONESTLY believe incarceration is the answer? Are you this blind (no offense)? Drug addicts have a legitimate MEDICAL problem!!!! These issues are best addressed by DOCTOR and NURSES - not ARMED GUARDS!!!! HEY, I KNOW!!!!! Let's incarcerate cancer patients as well!!!!
Didn't they say this about alcohol 80 years ago????
OhMy, you're still my friend. I just think your political views are a crock of s***!!! :p
There is a HUGE differience between alcohol and RX drugs. You get sick when you drink and you can drink only so much. However, with Hydrocodone, you can just pop an extra pill and 30 minutes later you are dead. I really do not see how anyone can compare alcohol to RX pain killers.
Larger crimes are inside jobs, those are the ones I go after, not the small time sellers or users that is the STATE's job, not mine.
Do I think that prison is the answer for someone who hijacks 5,000 pills? HELL yes, the federal prison system is designed for those people, among others:rolleyes:

documents -
it was strange - they had everything they accuse me of on the table - and i ok'd the things I did - each and everyone - these docs had proof from the cust they paid cash and i acknowledged - im def a piece of crap scumbag for this and will owe up to it. but then they have these stacks - they are hitting me with invoices that i voided that didnt even involve what i done - almost like they didnt research it - they have no proof from anyone i took cash and i mean everything i did was in 100.00 or 250.00 even transactions - i didnt take headlights and body parts.. (auto business) - i pulled my lawyer aside and im like " i didnt do at least 1/2 of this stuff and he wants me to accept responsibility - that would be great if i could come up with 90k but i mean woooa coming up with the 2k i have right now was hard....
so i am so so so scared as my lawyer wanted me to get like 20k together and its turning out to be hard - i have a great job lined up making 18/hr - but i cant take it if im going to jail..
so with a clean record and the history of my case - is there anyone who believes ill get a chance to make this right - i want to work hard to first pay them back - and then get my own life back in order - are jusges that forgiving? i just think ill fall apart in anymore then 6mos of jail and am so sosososososos scared...
gigrle - ill send a pm soon - just on the fly - but yes your so right - i dont want to blame anyone for what i did but i can say your influences can really affect you - ive learned and sobered up so straight and am appaled at myself - that drug is terrible - and unlucky for me should never be abused - it ruined my life :(
The only thing I can tell you is to listen to your own lawyers instructions.
In time, this will all pass, whatever the outcome you will put this all behind you some day. In life all you can do is live and learn. In time you can look back on all this and remember it so it does not happen to you again.

i understand your feelings and as an ex-addict now i really do appreciate people like you.
tommorow i have to turn myself in - sooner than i thought - so im not sure how much restitution ill have by then but all here have been so helpful and i thank you for your time - please say a prayer i get a second chance and will be able to see the beauty of the world again.
for those researching and finding my thread if im in jail - get OFF the drugs and be HONEST - thats what ive done and i feel the victim has been more than nice as im still here a month later talking - just be honest - as scary as it is - it may help you in the long run
ive seen how hard it is to get restituition together and its hard - so your honesty may be all you have to fight with. keep your heads up - i hope to report back on bail on recogince (sp i know) but if not thanks so much everyone.

If someone drinks enough of Alcohol in a period of time could easily die from it, from alcohol poisoning of the brain, or asphyxiation. Having one more drink is the same as playing Russian roulette when taking oxy or fentanyl as a recreational drug, it could kill you in the end.

Yes I do agree with you, however, you usually pass out before you can get that drunk. Again, I dont drink so I am just going by what I am told.
RX pills can work very differiently. If someone takes one Hydrocodone and doesnt feel anything from it, they make take 2 more in 15 minutes not realizing that it takes up to an hour to kick in. Then 30 minutes later they are dead. These pills are designed as pain pills, not a good way to get high.

Agreed. The average person can get drunk and pass out (whether they are regular drinkers or not). Your body has a way of shutting down. With Oxy, it works on the respiratory system as opposed to the liver. If you accidently take more than your body can process and go to sleep...your chances of not waking up go way up. It then becomes an accidental overdose. Alchohol will get you in the long run but you don't find too many wine-oh's robbing liquor stores to get a fix (although I'm sure it does happen).
Good luck tomorrow buddy!

You body also has natural defenses when it comes to drug overdoses. 9 times out of 10 the user has a tendency to vomit any harmful contents. Chances of dying from any overdose are slim, possible, but slim.
