Bad medicine !

This is the funniest I've heard in years. Since the Drug Enforcement Agency has been cracking down on doctors prescribing painkiller by clubbing them with drug dealers pushing heroin and crack, these painkiller have become harder to find. Now that OxyContin is harder to obtain, even illegally, here is what the agency has to say -

"Because diverted OxyContin is more expensive and difficult to purchase," the agency reported, "users have switched to heroin."

Sometimes the medicine is worse than the ailment ? Eh ?
