    What do you think the backlash of that plan might be tho?? You are willing to take the risk and rob for it, what are you going to do when you realize what you go is not the real thing?

    When a pharmacy is held up for a narcotic/opiod why can't they give the robber a fake/substitue drug - a placebo for the real drug? Looks like oxycontin, tastes like oxycontin - but has no kick.
