Question by tgfann: Methadone use question ?
My sister has been acting very strange for about 2 years now, since she got together with her current boyfriend (who the WHOLE family HATES). She’s tired all the time, falls asleep talking to you even standing up! I know they boyfriend used to do heroin because we found old newspaper articles about him being arrested for possession … at least 3 times that we know of. The most recent was May 2006. And he went to jail for 8 months for that one.

Today, my sister’s son asked me what methadone is. He said mom and (her boyfriend) take it. Long story short … She’s not (and never has been) in any kind of drug program. He’s not either, as far as we know. So where do they get it from? Is this something you can buy “on the street”?    Read more...
