I didn't even think Oxycontin was that big of a deal anymore. I thought everybody is doing roxy's now, which are just 15 mg (and maybe 30mg?) pure oxycodone pills.

There was a "pain clinic" down the street from my development in a strip mall. The place was full of old cars and low-lifes milling around. There was a Dr. who would see walk-ins for $75.00 and prescribe pills on the spot. They also filled prescriptions from anywhere right there on premises.
About 2 months ago there were helicopters and sirens while SWAT raided and closed the place. But it was there for more than 2 years and a few more are also around. A couple times unmarked cars followed me (long hair, truck with Kentucky tags) until I pulled up to our resorts gate.
