I saw a stately "Family Practice" last week, that had been around for a few years, but now had a big new street sign to the effect of "get your marijuana here!" out front. I don't believe that I have ever seen that sort of thing for other prescription drugs.

Except for the myriad of prescription drugs advertised on television, radio, websites, in magazines... do I need to go on?

I've just never seen a street sign for one before. But you buttress my point. A certain number of doctors are normal human beings after all, and are perfectly willing to push pills if it makes them money. Entertainment/luxury drugs are at the highest risk for this sort of behavior.

Entire "pain management" stores...
