<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 341754, member: 308"]It may come as a surprise that many of us born in the 1950's were frequently given opiate distillates (paregoric) to combat the pain of teething as well as other minor ailments. Most of us are not currently wandering the streets looking for our next fix. It seems remarkable to me that a helpful medication is denied to the general population because of some who misuse it. We haven't banned gasoline because of huffers and don't get me started on alcohol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, this is a bit of a sore spot for me (in more ways than one).</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
