What needs to be seen is clear data between illicit drugs like heroin and prescribed controlled substances like Vicodine. Oxicodone I'm tired of seeing real medicine lumped together with street drugs that get you high. 
As a patient with chronic pain I can tell you that I have never gotten high from my prescribed oxicodone. It is my understanding the manufacturers remove that feature from legal RX obviously the street synthetic version would add it in.
I take them only when I really need them which is 2-8 times a month and its the only thing that works for me.
So I want the government out of my doctors business....she is not the villain here and neither is the drug its been around for centuries.
