Illegal Perscription Drug Possession Colorado Lawyer.
Vicodin, Oxycontin, and other opiate based over the counter drugs are becoming more popular in today's society. More people die each year from prescription drug over dose/ abuse than Crack, Cocaine, and Heroin combined. People often begin to abuse the drug when they still have a prescription for a legitimate issue, then continue "legally" for a while, getting refills on the prescription by complaining of pain to their doctor. When the prescription runs out, the user will start looking to illicit methods of obtaining the next fix to their addiction.
Opiate drugs have become popular because of their credibility, many users believe they using a pharmaceutical source that does not contain impurities like non-prescription opiates may. There is also a confidence with knowing how much of each substance is going into the body, whereas raw opium may not provide such certainty.
