I don’t know how people even take Hydrocodone. It tears up my stomach even taken with food.
Big pharma has half the U.S. population on drugs.
Yeah, we can’t have people doing what they want with their bodies. How freedom loving is that? F*** the government and the horse they rode in on. And f*** their regulations that interfere with what I want to do with my life. I do not do drugs but I do other things that the government thinks they have the right to control and restrict. BS, they do not have this right and we need to take back our country.
They tried it with alcohol
There are people who need them legitimately. What about those who are in severe pain? The junkie will always get their drugs. Let's be reasonable.
There goes any chance of me enjoying the golden years.
“I think all drugs should be outlawed on the grounds that somebody somewhere might find a way to abuse them.”
No, lets just outlaw them for use by Congress and the DEA.
Oh, and their families.
A new type of “hillbilly heroin”.
During prohibition they did this same sort of thing to ethyl alcohol, they spiked it with methyl alcohol so it would sicken or kill anyone that abused it.
Only a sick f##k would do such a thing :-(
Our drug laws have created a twisted society. And the truly sad part is it is unconstitutional for the fed gov to even ban medicines. This all started in earnest after prohibition failed. They started requiring tax stamps to possess marijuana, then they refused to sell the stamps. Then Nixon came along and made it all a lot worse. The rest of the world then followed our poor example.
Some people just want to take dope... a drug war is not the answer.
I don’t know if it is true but I heard they add stuff that makes you sick in order to discourage over use?
Ban them for legitimate use because they might also have illegitimate uses. By that same logic we could stop bank robbery if we shut down all the banks.
I prefer dilaudid myself...
Itching X 10! Yep, I’m allergic. That stuff makes me itch like I have chiggers all OVER my body.
“I think all drugs should be outlawed on the grounds that somebody somewhere might find a way to abuse them.”
There are too many people who agree with your statement. I am of the crazy few who think adults ought to be able to put whatever they want into their bodies and get restore the freedoms the government sole from us.
Late next year a virtually abuse-proof form of oxycodone will enter final human clinical trials in the United States and Australia. The oxycodone will be delivered transdermally through the skin via a credit card sized waterproof patch that lasts for about three days.
The oxycodone in the patch cannot be extracted, concentrated or abused in any way, and because the oxycodone dose is steady and doesn’t have the peaks and troughs associated with pills, is less habituating than pills. This patch was developed by an Australian company in partnership with 3M.
My expectation is that this patch will be a godsend for pain sufferers.
My state, Washington State, has become the toughest state to obtain a narcotic prescription. Essentially, only available after surgery or an accident. Most clinics have stopped prescribing altogether. The legislature and governor went too far. Seattle Times had a long article. I’m not looking forward to the time I’m in pain for whatever reason.
