New Drug Zohydro (Legal Heroin) Hits The Market - 10 Times More Powerful Than Vicodin
Druggies rejoice!
Approved by the FDA last month, new drug Zohydro hit's the market. Brought to you by Zogenix the makers of Oxycontin, Zohydro is an Opiate drug said to be 10 times more powerful than Vicodin. http://www.forbes.com/sites/melanieh...too-dangerous/ http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...0MA0RB20140313 per Forbes Magazine: "A new opiate painkiller with 5 to 10 times the power of Vicodin, set to hit the market in March, could trigger a disastrous spike in overdoses and deaths, says a powerful coalition of doctors, lawmakers, and addiction specialists. “In the midst of a severe drug addiction epidemic fueled by overprescribing of opioids, the very last thing the country needs is a new, dangerous, high-dose opioid,” the experts wrote, addressing FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, MD. One member of the letter-writing coalition, Andrew Kolodny, president of the advocacy group Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, was more blunt: “It’s a whopping dose of hydrocodone packed in an easy-to-crush capsule. It will kill people as soon as it’s released.” What’s all the fuss about? Plenty. Zohydro is so strong that someone new to opioids could die of an overdose from just two pills, the experts say. And a child could die from ingesting just one capsule. According to the FDA’s review, the relief – or the high – of Zohydro can last up to 12 hours per dose." ) |

MJ is a potentially homegrown drug that can compete with the lumber, pharma, and petroleum industries. In addition, by forcing MJ to come from foreign countries, it gives them another excuse to wage war in 3rd world countries, just like opium.

There are a entantiomers of morphine that are thousands of times more powerful.
Also, you can get a legit prescription for pure methamphetamine. It's called Desoxyn.

Right. But and it's much harder to procure than oxy or hydro. Possible, but not nearly as readily available. My concern is that this is likely being manufactured for those with high opiate tolerance, meaning we are just ramping up the service to meet the demand.so users who have to take 5 percent a days will now get one of these a day to start, but they'll eventually move on to getting 2 or 3 a day as their tolerance increases.
Not sure if this is supposed to be an XR like OxyContin or not. None of the articles indicate t as such. Of course crushing negates the XR property anyway.

Dear houstonwhodat,
In the past week, you have exposed yourself as an ignorant, racist, homophobic asshole who also judges those suffering from addiction ("druggies rejoice!" in the OP). I think many at chiefsplanet will support me as I cordially invite you to **** off and die. All the worst, CT |
