Really, is hydrocodone any worse than the drugs that 0bama lets his pals bring in to the US? Any worse than letting drug cartels have free reign on the border?
They want people to suffer.
Aren’t they already highly restricted?
The Controlled Substances Act, passed in 1970, put hydrocodone drugs in the Schedule III class, which is subject to fewer controls. Under that classification, a prescription for Vicodin can be refilled five times before the patient has to see a physician again. If the drug is reclassified to Schedule II, patients will only be able to receive one 90-day prescription, similar to drugs like OxyContin. The drug could also not be prescribed by nurses and physician assistants. I have been a P.A. for 33 years, have had a dea license for most of them. I renewed my license last year (700 bucks) and note on it that I can write schedule II drugs. Where are they getting their information ?
the highly addictive painkiller that has grown into the most widely prescribed drug in the U.S.
Really? For some reason I don’t believe the claim that hydrocodone is the most widely prescribed drug in the U.S.
I believe this is already the case in NY. They now run a background check on you for a whole bunch of drugs (not just hydrocodone).
