Drugs are trivial to get, for the most part.
Theft is obvious, and you can buy most of the well known ones on the street. You can save up prescribed meds.
If I wanted something like valium, as a loose example, I could have a bottle of thirty in about two hours. Opiates would be similarly fast. The more obscure the drug, the harder it is, and the less recreational value it has, the harder it is. Addictive drugs can actually be a little harder compared to the stuff that isn't just because it's market dependent. If the demand is high enough, finding a dealer that has the drug of choice in hand is harder.
This is why I keep all my meds locked up, regardless of their recreational value. Desperate people just grab everything and go. Not just suicidal people, but addicts, folks in pain that can't access healthcare, or just stupid kids looking to self medicate. That's also one reason I don't let strangers in the house, and nobody at all unsupervised, other than two friends that would kill themselves before stealing from a friend.
Hell, I'm kinda surprised you don't already know people that can/would get you drugs. There's usually a black market around hospitals and other medical facilities, and it isn't difficult to find them.
When I was in Arkansas got addicted to Oxycotton or Hillbilly Heroin. But got that from a back door doctor. Who was also addicted to Opiods. Since then I have been clean and the only drugs I use is the occasional joint liquor and have a script for generic xanax which I don't take with me because don't want my vehicle busted into. I have one in a pill box. And yes before you say it I know that if I get pulled over or something and the fuzz finds it I am pretty much screwed but most cops don't know what the generic looks like.
The whole "original bottle" thing has exceptions in some states for things like pill organizers or those little containers clearly marked as for medical items, like people carry nitro in for angina. Dunno where you are, but there's a decent chance you'd be fine. That's just for casual conversation, not any kind of disagreement or hassling you.
But, yeah, I feel you. I'm a chronic pain patient, and I used to have three different opiates prescribed. Got tired of it before I got hooked luckily. But I carry my breakthrough meds on my person, or lock them in my car safe (that's a thing!).
Nowadays, it's NSAIDs and anti-spasm options instead of opiates because they're more hassle than they're worth for me. Just not willing to jump through hoops and be treated like a child because I'm in pain.
It's kinda scary how many doctors end up addicted to either opiates or amphetamines.
Not seeking for drugs or how to get them but when I used to help people on reddit suicidewatch it was rampant with people asking if this drug or that drug would kill them. I mean as a nurse some of the drugs I can't get ahold of. It just boggles my mine how people get ahold of them.
I assumed they would be taking them from family members that were legally prescribed them for legitimate chronic health conditions.
And way too often they ask about a drug that won't kill them but will cause serious, possibly long-term damage.
I used to take zoloft a long time ago. And one of the questions was if they can over dose on it. I replied it was a builder so likely not but it would fuck up your liver. Then I got a 7 day ban for apparently promoting suicide even after my post said don't do it.
I have medication prescribed which I could OD on.
Many OTC medications are dangerous if consumed in vast quantities.
There’s plenty of ways to illegally get hold of drugs
