The narcótics opioids are effective for diseases such as chronic pain partially solved, medicines like Vicodin, Lortab, oxycodone, Lorcet are widely used in USA and Europe for medical specialists according to findrxonline the percentage of use of these drugs is very high in this part of the continent.
I bet these pills they are stealing are going for top dollar. People dont have health insurance or jobs. And have no way to pay for a doctor visit to get the RX or continue with refills.
Its sad. But the "stupid" thieves are actually the smart ones. They know what sells. Now if only they could put those sales skills to use in the legit market.
