Opiates for the masses
So I saw a woman last night who owns a retail business in Sandwich, our neighboring town.
"You always have the nicest kids working for you," I said. "Your place and the Stop & Shop down on Quaker Meeting House Road -- they're all really nice kids."
"They're probably high on oxycontin," she said, without a trace of sarcasm. "Stuff is great. Takes your aches and pains away and makes you just not care. All the kids at the high school are doing it these days."
