Oxycodone has been like that for the 6 years that I have been taking it.

It's a class 2 narcotic and I have to go to the doctors office and get a new prescription and hand carry it to the pharmacy every time. They have just added vicadone to the same requirement.

Where does the federal government get the power to regulate drugs at all?

That's a State power.

“Oxycodone has been like that for the 6 years that I have been taking it.”

That proves the point. If Oxy is already tightly controlled, and abuse is still rampant, then the controls aren’t working. Taking the same approach with Vic will have the same result.
