Rogue pharmacies banking on oxycodone - CBS News Investigates - CBS News

Rogue pharmacies banking on oxycodone - CBS News Investigates - CBS News:

"At age 23, Heather Belleme had a dark secret. For two years, she was addicted to the powerful pain-killer oxycodone.

"I would never think in a million years Heather would abuse drugs, never," says her mother Lisa.

Even though Belleme didn't have a need for oxycodone, she had no problem getting prescriptions from doctors - and getting them filled.

In March, she walked into a Fort Lauderdale pharmacy with a prescription and walked out with 168 pills of oxycodone by paying $700 cash. Four days later she died of an overdose."

This was such a waste...Sadness beyond belief....
