>submit that perhaps things like Oxycontin OP are designed to do exactly what they say--lower risk of abuse. They do so by attempting to deter abuse via threat of poison. People die from acetaminophen poisoning from this tactic. >Nobody wakes up one day and says "I am going to become an addict today", it happens in cumulative moments of weakness. You don't know what you're talking about. The Vicodin comment was bad enough. It's widely known to be abused and it often leads to abuse of other painkillers. edit: I'm worried I've misunderstood. I got the impression from the context that Oxycontin OP had acetaminophen in it. If it doesn't, why are we even talking about it?
