Before 1970 you could buy paregoric in a drug store but had to sign for 
it. Since it was commonly used for rubbing on the gums of teething infants 
my girlfriend was a plausible buyer. It was a little rough straight up but 
if you were patient you could use an eyedropper to soak a cigarette, let 
it dry, rinse and repeat.

Speaking of rough, there was also elixir of turpin hydrate with codeine, 
also available over the counter. Choking it down wasn't easy, sort of like 
drinking turpentine.

Supposedly Buffy got her supply from the UMass health service. Townes Van 
Zandt had a better relationship,


"Ah, but now, I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
Ah his name is Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Well, together, we're gonna wait around and die
Yeah, together, we're gonna wait around and die"

My dentist is big on amoxycillin but I talked her out of it the last time. 
It kills everything, including your intestinal flora. 

Why, AZ is only 30 miles from Sonoita and some of the snowbirds would go 
there for dental work. I never went but there were two dentists in town, 
one of whom had an x-ray machine. If you went to the other one and needed 
an x-ray you walked down the street to the other guy to take the photos. 

I think of that with every US hospital needing millions of dollars of 
machinery. At least here Community and St. Pat's had some sort of 
arrangement where some tests were performed at one or the other 
depending.
