I went to high school in a fairly affluent area and I promise you this is not true. If you have money and know how to talk to your doctor, you can get whatever you want. No questions asked.

You can even get prescription methamphetamine - and Walgreens will stock generic for it!

Definitely not if you're a white male under 60 years old. They won't even give you opioids after surgery now because you are "high risk" .

If you're really rich it may be a different story, but any of the "middle class" good luck. And if you do find a doctor with some compassion, they are probably about to retire.

All I can say is that I am speaking from life experience. It sounds like our experiences have been different.

Imagine what you can do if you have money and know how to talk to your local police...
