"ya know, I really thought long and hard before I posted anything on this site b/c I knew that the loss of JP would overpower any kind of calm, rational discussion on methadone the legalities of it, the number of lives it DOES SAVE and I knew that the responses I would get would be highly emotional - I do not disagree that methadone can kill but so can so many other drugs- just recently, the news was carrying stories of OTC drugs that were killing young children - but I am going to stop my "debate" here, this site is to pay respect to JP and I do give my respect and my condolences, I am going to leave this site - - one day when you or anyone else really wants to see some statistics on methadone etc. please, feel free to let me know and I will provide all the data and statistics you need. Right now I think that the loss of your friend/brother etc. is still too fresh....take care"

"All I have to say, is first I am very sorry for this person and all other persons deaths who have died abusing methadone. Second this person said that MMT-BS whatever, came on here and was disrespectful and what not-- someone from this site came to PHARMER.org a known place where pillheads and recovering pillheads go--and someone from here said "Come to rememberjp.org and sign some petition and whatnot. So if you people didn't want responses on here about the debate of methadone and you only wanted messages that were to honor the memory of jp yall shouldn't have come to the biggest known pillhead/methadone user site on the internet and said "come here". And third the only question I have to ALL OF YOU that had someone die fropm abusing it and or from taking it correctly is this "What else was your loved one taking along with the methadone? " That is the leading cause of people dieing from methadone is that they are either taking xanax, klonopin, soma or SOMETHING else with it. All those folks you all claim to have died from taking one single dose of methadone or died after taking it correctly---your ALL living in DENIAL> you don't want to admit that your loved ones were either drug addicts or just tried to stay messed up all the time. And if you all truthfully thought about it you know in your heart of hearts that the ones who passed away taking methadone did other drugs and had a history of drinking alcohol or staying messed up on something. And Guess what!!!! People Will die when they mix alcohol, xanax, and all types of other barbituates, benzodiazepines, and so on with it. You WILL die if you take it with other drugs. and no matter how much you all want to keep from focusing on that, it's true. Your loved ones and other peoples loved ones died when they ABUSED methadone. It's been said on here already by supporters of this site. And when is someone going to say that if you abuse something and something bad happens"

"Do you seriously thjnk I don't know methadone is a narcotic. You are a narrow minded idiot that probably drove your son to use drugs too. You are not open to anything except what you think you know. Since you have so much documentation, hell, send me some. Since I am such an uneducated hick that doesn't even know methadone is a narcotic. My address is 1710 Chenault Drive Decatur, AL. 35601 and/or christysivley@yahoo.com. I'm almost positive that you don't have one shred of "documentation" that I've not read. Oh and since you still wanted to be nasty about it after I left you a halfway sensable and polite reply, I got another question for ya? Unless you babysat your son 24 hrs a day, how do you know he didn't mix it with something else? What, because his wife told you "Oh no, he never took anything else other than what the dr precsribed for him", and let me guess, you are so superior that it is totally imposible for you to breed a child that might actually *Gasp* not tell his mother EVERYTHING he does, and in his superior genetics there could never be any desire to use drugs or medication in an abusive way. Is that what your telling me? That you know for a fact that the only thing he took was methadone and that he took it exactly as prescribed. The only way you'll convince me of that is if you told me you gave him his meds every day yourself. Oh no there goes my anger management right out tha door. Cuz you did diagnose me as needing that too, right? And as far as needing a hobby, you need to find yourself one also, because your a pretty good failure at bringing these issues your so Supposedly Passionate about to light, because you had the opportunity to present me with facts that might've made me want to start to taper down on my dose, but you know what-you aren't the least bit concerned with educating people, you just want to spew your insults ans ridicule. What a waste you are!"
