In The Right Hands

The text on the art piece spells out perfectly the sentiment that inspired its painting: "Pain medicine is for pain patients... all others HANDS OFF!!" As one who CAN have a life outside of my bed BECAUSE of the PROPER USE of my pain medication, I am infuriated when someone abuses MY life giving substance and does something phenomenally STUPID in its name. Or worse yet, THEY overdose then their well meaning, grieving families fly into an uproar over this "evil drug", calling for its banishment. Grrrrrr~~
