After Prince died, I asked my doctor what our state does with opiates. He said the state has clamped down within the past year, and that the small number of patients he is prescribing such drugs to must be monitored basically every week. When I had surgery in August, I was given 12 pills - 12 - for pain. No refills unless I went back to the surgeon. It is that tough here now.

Yes I remember because my question was can you get and fill prescriptions for controlled

substances interstate. In other words if you live in let's say Georgia and have a prescription, can

you go to Arkansas and get it filled. I found out that you can't do that in Fl and there is miles of red

tape to even be precribed a CS down there. You have to have State issued ID to prove that you are

a resident of Fl. But maybe due to the fact he was Prince, things were overlooked?? Or some "net

working" by others being done. I don't have any idea about the laws out of the country, but have

heard they are not so tight. I thought it was a play on words also....giving something but not.......

Just another item to ad to the confunktion.

Well, I do know that here in the UK, a person can register with a GP as a 'temporary resident' / visitor, and get prescriptions from that GP.

.

I'm sure there must be ways and means - because, of course, many people travel the globe for work - and so they must be able to see doctors / get prescriptions wherever they are. Prince is not unusual, in that sense.
.

.

Dibbs: Yes, and also when someone moves to another town or another state, you have to get your prescriptions transferred over to your new pharmacy, etc.

I'm pretty sure that if you get your precriptions at say, a Walgreen's or CVS, they are linked, nation-wide. Like, if you live in Georgia, and travel to Minnesota, you can still get your scripts filled at a Walgreen's. They probably just have to verify the info.

Ok I can see that. Being linked nation wide is a good thing. LOL I don't get scripts very often. I

guess I just figured if Fl was so tough all the other states would be also.

.

Zena: I'm pretty sure Walgreen's does that. If I know I will be travelling, I will usually make sure I have enough prescriptions to last me until I get back.

.

You mentioned FL. I used to live in Florida, well, actually I recently left, about 7-months ago. Do you live in FL?

Yes, Doctor's are starting to limit how much pills and refills they give to patients, which is a good thing, especially when it something like powerful pain meds.

No Texas. But I was researching laws concerning the despensing of controlled substances and somehow got into a discussion board of folks having problems getting Hydo and Oxy scripts filled after moving to Fl. From there to the Fl law. LOL I spent half a day reseaching through DEA information.

I am from the east coast, so I've had plenty of BBQ, but never true Texas BBQ!! It was so good.....I would drive to Texas just to get more, LMAO!!

Florida is having a big problem with street drugs and Oxy. Flakka was really bad there.

Whoa! Doesn't surprise me! And this part:

.

“It’s a weapon,” said Andrew Weber, assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs from 2009 to 2014. “Companies shouldn’t be just sending it to anybody.”

.

“The government should impose very serious limits, but in reality in China it’s so difficult to control because if I produce 1 or 2 kilograms, how will anyone know?” said Xu Liqun, president of Hangzhou Reward Technology, which offered to produce carfentanil to order. “They cannot control you, so many products, so many labs.”

.

But why would an internationally famous and exceedingly wealthy entertainer buy and/or use street drugs? Especially since this entertainer had a reputation for being very, very smart. Through the "right" channels, he could have got anything and no one would have been the wiser. Top quality and not cut with Fent or anything else. But why did he need it in the first place? And why was he still using?

.

Are you responding to someone's specific post here, or just making a general comment/observation?

.

We don't know if Prince was buying or using any of these drugs, as he did not have a prescription for them. We also don't know how long he was using them (if he was using them prior to 4/21).

.

This is still an ongoing homicide investigation, and we don't have all the facts yet.

.

I have said this a thousand times and will continue to do so; I don't believe that Prince knew those pills were laced with Fentanyl and other deadly drugs. It was all a tragic accident.

.

We don't know if Prince got those pills on his own, or through someone else. Now, if the authorities happen to find out that those illegal pills came from someone else, then someone will be charged with murder and will be facing jail time or prison sentence. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know what the laws are in MN, so I am speculating here.

.

Only time will tell.

Interesting Zena. You would think Tidal would have to have a contract with details if there was an agreement in place. I think Tidal assumed if P was no longer here they would have exclusive rights to all his music but it appeares p was not on board with that.

I have to think that Tidal has something or they wouldn't have filed a lawsuit with the court. But then

again JayZ could be like Rodney Dixon, you remember him? LOL

The source said many of the pills were falsely labeled “Watson 385,” a stamp used to identify pills containing a mix of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton reports

//////The source also confirmed that between one and two dozen tablets were found in Prince’s bedroom area but most of the pills were found in over-the-counter pill bottles such as used for aspirin and were discovered inside suitcases and bags.

//////Authorities also found a prescription bottle in someone else’s name that contained 10 oxycodone pills, the official said, without revealing who was listed on the prescription.

//////http://www.cbsnews.com/news/official-pills-found-at-princes-estate-contained-fentanyl/

////// I have gone back to the beginning trying to find anything that I might have overlooked. If something was found in P's personal bedroom then it would be assumed that whatever found would be in his control care and possession. On the other hand anything found in other places, (I would not think that he would store suitcases in his room) would be a red flag. I would want to know who had access to that area and who would have control care and possession of the items and the area, such as the inner circle and employees. If P had "prescription" pain medication why did he take the illicit pills? It plainly states that there was a prescription in someone elses name. If it were me, I would take the script and only use the other if I ran out. But then I can't possibly know what his mind was thinking. But I will tell you that I think he was in a business frame of mind as he was (supposedly) taking care of emails and creating a task list for his assistant the next day and making or receiving phone calls.

[Edited 11/5/16 8:37am]

This is the exact article ( http://www.startribune.co...390850001/ ) I asked PD1 to review when she commented that (NOT verbatim) "there were no prescriptions in other names found on Prince's possession" in the "Death" thread. The only difference is that it appears that CBS has sourced it from the Associated Press (ST notes that they have done so at the beginning of the article). You argued, on her behalf for whatever reason, that you would not "read further". So, I ask you, is this information now "legitimate" because YOU referenced it? Btw, where did the other thread go? THIS gets to continue on with all the wild speculation but someone was offended by facts?! Smdh....

Yeah, I was following that thread too. What happened to it? Too many facts? Made too much sense? Not enough crazy? What? lol I liked it because there was a balance. One presents a theory and another would point out the facts to dispel it. That, in my opinion, is more productive then going completely off the rails.

Ok yall......If you look at photo of Prince at the last basketball game he went to on 3/3/16, he looks

fine. 4 weeks later (4/7) he is ill with the flu and cancels the Atlanta show. Sees Dr.S, feels better and

1 week later (4/14) does the show in Atlanta. Emergency landing, rode his bike, record store visit, PP

party, Dakota club show, visits Dr. S again. In a matter of 6 weeks time, Prince was gone. Whatever

happened, happened after 3/3. 4 weeks passed before it was reported that he was ill. (3/4 to 4/7)

Just thought I'd share that with yall. I'm not saying it's correct, I'm just saying that's the way it looks

to me.
