The mystery drug behind the arrest of Sherry Johnston, the mother-in-law to be of Alaska’s favorite pregnant teen Bristol Palin has been named, and it’s not Meth, the drug Wasilla is usually famous for.
No, this time round it’s Oxycontin.
Oxycontin is an opioid analgesic medication similar to Codeine that is used for pain relief in severe cases and for cancer patients. The drug is taken in tablet form legally (it’s available by prescription) or snorted, crushed or injected by addicts. It’s considered highly addictive and has strict controls over its distribution in many countries.
Pain killer abuse isn’t new, although experts say that Oxycontin is fast becoming the drug of choice among pain killer addicts, and it’s apparently popular with teens as well.
It’s not clear from reports whether Sherry Johnston was manufacturing the drug, just doctor shopping prescriptions and selling them on to addicts…or simply popping them all herself, but on a bright note, at least it wasn’t meth.

Rush Limbaugh interviewed Sarah Palin on Oct. 15. Could he be Johnston's Oxy connection? Were Levi and Bristol with Sarah at the time of the interview?

I suffered from prescription drug addiction and alcoholism for 15 years. Now that I am clean and I sober I have had my story published. It is called Constant Cravings: One Man's True Story of His Struggle With Prescription Drug Addiction. My hope for this book is that it will help addicts and their families as much as writing it helped me.
It is avaliable at: http://www.eloquentbooks.com/ConstantCravings.html

Is your Post secondary education teach you to lob mud, or just simply guess to see level of response. Please do not pretend to report on inquiries because you have failed to inquire correctly. This is wrong. Keep silent it is best.
Your Dec 20, 2008 comments are weak.
Please consult official released information.

Not enough people have told you that you’re an idiot; if you’re still putting your thoughts out there. Consider this: The current violence between Israel and Hamas would be much less if more people in the Islamic faith did two things. One) If within the Islamic faith there was more criticism when some one stepped out of line with the Koran, and Two) the person receiving the criticism would correct himself.
Understand this, the highest we hope of achievement is not based on how much is spoken, but rather it is what we correct.
