OxyContin Awareness


Name:Louise Morton Email: Type:Death Story Date:5/29/2002	On April 29th, tragically my son Nick Morton 21 years old. Lost his life due to this deadly dangerous drug oxycontin. He was full of life and always wore a smile. He was loved in the community by people of all ages. Everyone remembers him and misses his smile. He always played football with the neighborhood kids. If he knew how dangerous this drug really was he wouldn't have taken it. I believe he took this pill because of his hip disease that he had since he was a child. I have never heard of this drug until the day he died. He enjoyed playing with his neices and enjoyed life to the fullest. His brother Sean, sisters Anglea, Shannon, Rose, and Colleen are heart broken. His Granpop and many others of his friends are sadden and not a day goes by that he is not thought of. The people that sold him this drug lived right across the road from us, they are heartless. Nick thought they were his friends, but all they were out to do is to make a buck. They could not even pay there last respect to attend his funeral service, they seen him on the bed life less and within minutes after he was taken out by the ER, they went and cashed his check of $55.00 dollers and close the trailer up for a couple of weeks. They still have their lives and Nick doesn't. This couple, must answer to a higher person. That is God. Everyone knew were to get this drug. This community is only conset about 700 population. I would like to see this drug taken off the market because of how addictive this drug is. It's Herion in a pill. To many doctors are proscribing it. And more enducation must be avalable to all medical personal as well as to our local communtiy and law offlicals. Our Schools must also be open to this drug. If it wasn't for Ed and this web site, I Would not have Leared so much about this drug. I want to thank him for this,and the fight that he continues to make people more aware of oxycontin. I know one day we will all see our Nick in heaven for he has accepted JESUS. As his Lord and Savior. Till then we all miss and love you. I Love you Nick. XOXOXO Love, Mom. In loving memory of our beloved Nick. Noxen, PA

Name: Email: Type:Abuse Story Date:5/29/2002	It is 11:30pm as I write this, and my big sister is in jail waiting for her arrainment. Her children are home with their very upset father, not sure how to feel, and certainly not sleeping. All of this because her addiction to OxyContin led her to forge a prescription. Just the latest spin in an ongoing downward spiral that began with an honest need for pain management. Don't know what else to say. It's easy to blame doctors that over perscribe, or drug companies that don't tell you the whole story. I have to believe however in some degree of self-determination. My sister knew right from wrong, knew she was in various kinds of trouble, and knew exactly where to get help. All I know is I miss my big sister, she hasn't really "been there" in quite some time.

Name:Amber Fisher Email: Type:General Comment Date:5/29/2002	I live in VA and have just recently been hearing about a lot of people locally who are using Oxycontin...I dabbled in drugs some in my earlier years (pot, acid, x) but have never been attracted to pain killers or the high they give. This site is very informative and educational and my heart goes out to each and everyone one of you whose lives have been scared by Oxycontin! This site will forever remain in my bookmarks and when my children get a little older (they are 3 and 6 now) they will know this site intimately. I have requested a copy of the video and will be giving it to every acquaintance that has so much as whispered the word "Oxy" in my proximity. Clearly, this drug has caused countless needless deaths; knowledge is power...thank you for infecting the TRUTH, Ed! My best wishes and heartfelt thoughts are with you and your families.
