CBS video of the segment


“Paey denies selling his meds, saying he took and needed all 18,000 pills [25 Vicodin a day]. The same judicial system that prosecuted Paey for obtaining too much pain medication is now supplying him in prison with more than (3 times) that amount to ease his tremendous pain.”

Info about Paey from the Pain Relief Network website
‘Toons by Richard Paey - a series of cartoons about his legal and law enforcement experiencs. (Caution: some of this is raw and strong — insanity and despair shot through with irrational exuberance and a lust for life.) Very, highly, recommended.
