        How does that system work, what is his pad?

        Here it seems to be entirely digital, I don’t need anything and just walk into a pharmacy and tell them my name to pick it up, they usually ask for address to confirm but I think it’s just any 2 bits of personal info.

          In the US, many states require controls (narcotics) be written on paper prescriptions. If they do allow digital prescriptions of controls, there’s often a lot more hassle involved with getting approved to do it.

      According to the snopes article that someone else linked in this thread, mofine is spelled incorrectly on purpose. This is a make believe story with overt racist undertones; the “r” sound in morphine has been dropped to imply that the rx thief is a black person.
