[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 329160, member: 1963"] I have a warning story I've never told here before. As I've mentioned before your time, my late husband was on morphine and other heavy duty painkillers for last two years of his life. My nephew, then only seventeen, was from my brother in law's previous marriage. I knew he had a "bad drug problem", but not the details. While at Passover at our house, A (or someone, it really had to be him) stole husband's pain medications from the cabinet in which we kept them. We immediately got a lock box to keep all medications in. 2 weeks later A was found dead of what turned out to be an opiate overdose, specifically morphine and oxycontin. We will never know until the day we die if what he ODed on was the medications he stole from us or not. This happened nearly ten years ago...you HAVE to secure ALL medications in a locked storage of some sort. We used an old "ammo can" which was BOLTED to our bedroom floor. husband and I had the only keys and we wore them on our persons from there on it. It took a death to open our eyes. Please don't let it get to that point with your son! We were very careful to make sure that all medications were out of the reach of visiting littles and our pets, but it never occured to us that adult guests to our home might steal them. [/QUOTE]
