There is no way that oxycontin is going to be taken off the market
like the oh so famous Quaaludes where. for one thing ludes where
basically just sleeping pills and anti-anxiety agents. there where much
safer and just as good alternatives to them that didnt really have the
abuse potential that they had. thats where the benzos came in. yes some
people do abuse benzos but there not exactly party drugs now are they.
all this was way before my time but from what ive heard ludes where the
king of party drugs. how much of this is real and how much of this is
just nostalgia i dont know.

First & foremost never say never. Yes Ludes were Party Drug Kings and
yes they went away more because of alternatives to them medically,
then the abuse.

There is another drug cocktail combination making the circuit right
now which sort of mimics the effects of a couple of Ludes. Very
popular in Las Vegas, so popular it is called the Las Vegas Cocktail.

Another thing is that oxycontin is one of the best drugs out there for
chronic pain. it has helped countless people who are in horrible pain
have somewhat normal lives. there are alternatives such as morphine and
the fent patch but some people dont find these work as good as
oxycontin or that they have alot more side effects.

But only one of the best, not the best or even the best of the best.
Because of that it is at risk because of the perception of abuse.

If oxycontin was taken off the market thousands of chronic pain
patients would suffer as a result of trying to protect a few drug
addicts who will only find some other drug to abuse anyway. it would
make absolutly no sense.

Maybe they would, maybe they would be switched to another drug. Who
knows. However, the point of the exercise should be a different
question, should the entire population of a country, any country, pay
for the abuses of a few?

As for the oxy hangover that Rack Jite was talking about i dont know
what kind of oxycodone youve been taking but ive sure as hell never
gotten a hangover off oxycodone or any other narcotic ive ever had to
take. the most ive felt the next day is abit of morning drowsiness that
can be easily fixed by a cup of coffee.

I suspect Jite was rambling on more about pure Oxycodone (more then
likely Roxicodone) capsules as opposed to Oxycontin.
