Related: About this forumYou KNOW what state woman brought meth to doctor's office for testing.
Yeah, people need to cross off the doctor's office as a place to bring their crank to;
A Polk County woman was arrested earlier this month after she reportedly brought "her meth" with her to a doctor's office to have it tested.
Barbara Ray, 73, of Polk County, told the staff at the doctor's office that she had been taking meth for about a month, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. She said she brought the drugs with her so that she and "her meth" could be tested to make sure all was well.
The Sheriff's Office was called and a deputy responded to the office. The deputy tested the drugs and found it was in fact methamphetamine.

possible (although I can't visualize it) that she's taking the meth for a true health condition in lieu of being unable to afford the proper medications?
