The number of fatal poisonings involving opioid painkillers more than tripled from 1999 to 2006, from 4,000 to 13,800 in one year, according to a new report from the CDC.

so what does it take to actually get a drug rescheduled anyways, this is the kind of crap that just makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. these drugs kill thousands of people every year, hardcore stuff too with hardcore side effects.

and our lil herb kills zero people every year, just like it hasn't for thousands of years.

The FDA was contemplating making hydrocodone, the active synthetic opioid in vicodine & Lortab, a schedule II narcotic.

The problem they see is the amount of control that would have to be placed on these items would be tremendous. Instead they rely on Dr.s to wean America off of them.

I guess thats not working very well.

I've had my fair share of bone fractures, I usually have extra vicodin as my pain tolerance is pretty high. you would not BELIEVE how kids these days fiend over vicodin. its ridiculous.

I dont even really know what the hype is about it being a recreational drug, I've had 4 at once and felt like I mayyyybe had a beer.

Anyone see the news paper article the a little while ago about how people and kids are 6-7 times more likely to die without explanation?! Any person/kid who took them for and extended period of time, and took the amphetamine ones, not the non-stimulants. My mom handed the article to me after I took amphetamine perscriptions from 4th grade until I graduated high school.... ooops!
