I'm from the state's but I've read horror stories from several places overseas...russia seems to be the worst... I just heard there's a 'shortage' of Dilaudid in Australia and I've heard from someone in the UK that tramadol is the best they have...most people over there dont even know there's alternatives...so in reality we should, and don't throttle me for this, count our blessings. But everything is falling apart, it was just a matter of time, we may get brief reprieves from time to time but by nature's very design all things break down and die. Morbid I know, but it is truth. I am not afraid tho. My hope rests in Him alone where my life is hidden, its a wonderful peace. I pray for everyone on this site who doesn't know that peace and unconditional love that they will seek the Truth, because if the Way, the Truth and the Life sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Thanks for your replys. I haven't heard from the the UK.

In some regards Canada is worse then the US but at other times better - depends on what it is, though a lot of the drugs take longer to get approved and some just never make the cut to be used here.

Well that's too bad

In South Africa, you can buy codeine over the counter, but it is recorded and only sold in small quantities.
