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." ) |

Question: why does cutting it with acetaminophen deter injecting?

You'll need something strong after you eat soup laced with sleeping pills.

It's supposed to be a Schedule II drug. Whatever that means.

The drug or other substances have a high potential for abuse The drug or other substances have currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, or currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.[25] Except when dispensed directly by a practitioner, other than a pharmacist, to an ultimate user, no controlled substance in Schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 301 et seq.), may be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner, except that in emergency situations, as prescribed by the Secretary by regulation after consultation with the Attorney General, such drug may be dispensed upon oral prescription in accordance with section 503(b) of that Act (21 USC 353 (b)). With exceptions, an original prescription is always required even though faxing in a prescription in advance to a pharmacy by a prescriber is allowed.[33] Prescriptions shall be retained in conformity with the requirements of section 827 of this title. No prescription for a controlled substance in schedule II may be refilled.[34] Notably no emergency situation provisions exist outside the Controlled Substances Act's "closed system" although this closed system may be unavailable or nonfunctioning in the event of accidents in remote areas or disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Acts which would widely be considered morally imperative remain offenses subject to heavy penalties.[35] These drugs vary in potency: for example fentanyl is about 80 times as potent as morphine (heroin is roughly four times as potent). More significantly, they vary in nature. Pharmacology and CSA scheduling have a weak relationship.

Lol. Apparently Meth is a Schedule II drug as well.
MJ is schedule 1 while Meth and Opiate pills are schedule II. #Murica |
