Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But if one is an addict are they going to be following that?

That's why I was wondering about degrees of accidental overdoses. An addict overdosing is different from you or I doing it.

Though I'm not sure who (um, but me) would care about said degrees.

seven rungs of work hell (an interactive pastiche):

7. passive-aggressive copy machines that know when your meetings are.
6. decaf, flavored coffee in the group machine.
5. "oh. I thought you were going to take care of that."
4. "Who is supposed to be in this meeting again?"
3. People who feel that saying "we need x to happen" is all it takes.

Heroin is Schedule I. Oxycodone is Schedule II.

I was prescribed something similar to Oxycodone for pain after I had my wisdom teeth removed, and it turns out that Codeine is also Schedule II (I got that, in the nastiest-flavored solution evar, for cough a year ago). I didn't have to sign any narcotics contracts for either of those.

(I'm a little surprised to discover that Valium is only Schedule IV, considering the hoopla you have to go through to get a scrip filled. Can't do it over the phone, oh no; in person only, with paper scrip in hand.)

Mmm, chili. The cafeteria has chili today (and they make a pretty decent pot of it, too), which I think I'll be having with some salad. That'll hit the spot on a cold wintery day like today.

I have achieved chicken noodle soup. I don't think it will do much for the gronk, but the ick is feeling substantially less icky.

Whoops. I only had to have a (verbal) contract for Schedule II drugs when I was to be prescribed them regularly, not in response to an ad hoc incidents.

I think that hoopla starts once drugs have a schedule IV or above, but that's not set in stone, oddly. I've had Vicodin prescriptions called in for me, for instance. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is there.

Grr! Why can't your doctor call up my dentist and explain these things!

Clearly I need to add tahini and cannellini beans to my grocery list.
