Picketing the "Pill Mills" in Pinellas Park


















Hello All!


Yesterday was a blast as I went for a picket in Pinellas Park area!

As most of you know I participate on a radio show called "Prescription addiction Radio" In the Tampa Bay area on a station called 860am WGUL and it covers the facts that this society has a opium epidemic among it and its not doing enough (if anything) as a whole to put an end to it.

As the host of our show is a pharmacist and does fill prescriptions he has noticed in the past certain prescriptions that did not seem correct etc and they were coming from a certain clinic. Upon further investigation in turns out the clinic will fill what you need for a certain price... If that does not violate the Hippocratic oath then I don't know what does! This clinic on 8800 49th St in Pinellas Park FL is actually supplying peoples habits in states other than Florida!!!

SO... We got some people together and went out and picketed. It was great and a lot of people were honking from their cars etc. I thought it was good and I am very glad that we did it.

The point of the whole thing was to bring awareness to the neighborhood of what was going on here, we know that if there was a man on the corner there selling Heroin or Cocaine that the neighbors would not tolerate it and do something to end it even if the Police were not doing something, this we KNOW.

But then why do the same people let this clinic pass out Oxycodone or Roxys or other opiates? If you think that there is a difference, then think again. I work as a Counsellor at a Detox and let me tell you... There is NO difference - The Heroin users will use Dilaudid or Oxy's to substitute their habit - So why is this then acceptable to be going on?

Well - We have no brought about public awareness and we shall see if they start pulling together as a society and group to put an end to this.

We will be doing more in the future and I will keep you informed.

Later - Monty
