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."

With states legalizing and making medical pot available they had to stem the tide. Wouldn't want people taking something relatively harmless for pain when there is more money to be made from other's misery.

Not cut with acetaminophen, like other opiates, to deter people from injecting. Half of drug abusers get pills from doctors and friends.

What could possibly go wrong?

Crazy. I'm assuming they're going to have Fentanyl like restrictions on them... but still... damn.

One does of Fentanyl can kill.

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.

The new stuff they make Opanas out of cannot be crushed, chewed or anything.
You have to use a Dremel to grind it down.
Or, uh, so I've been told.

Are you talking about that patch or like an actual injection.

Both. There were defective ones that were leading to people overdosing even when they were using them as prescribed and legitimately. I know that people do take the patches, remove the gel, and smoke it. I don't think they can inject it, though they might be able to cook the gel into some injectable form (opiate/heroin subculture can be ingenious with this shit).

As for illicit use, it has a greater repressive effect on the respiratory system than "normal" opiates. Illicit users often use it like they do their normal opiate and overdose really easily. A lot of times when you hear about a big outbreak of heroin junkies overdosing, it's because their heroin was either fentanyl or mixed with fentanyl.

Jay Bennett from Wilco overdose on Fentanyl (which he was prescribed).

Ah I was just wondering. I have never really taken many painkillers in my life but some things just don't work for me. Like I said Vicodin does nothing I might as well take nothing, Tylenol 3 same thing, nothing.

Oxycodone works but doesn't make me feel loopy at all, it's weird to have a tolerance when you don't take it often. I've even been given diloted pills before and that didn't make me feel weird.
