Vicodan goes CII in the US in 45 days.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/22/h...column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

Just happened today by order of FDA.

EDIT TO ADD: Looks like Vicodan tablets - "hydros", hydrocodone, Lortab and similar products will be CII in the US within 45 days. They are currently under the CIII schedule. Oxycodone products are CII already, so a simple way to convey this move is to say hydrocodone is now regulated just like oxycodone. That pretty much says it all. Note though - states can implement their own standards for prescribing above and beyond what the FDA/DEA require, like NY state.

I already have to call in my doctor for my next prescription & then have to pick up & script signed by my doctor & then take it to the pharmacy.......I've never had refills on my scripts.

Also, the idea of vicodin being a serious med tgat is the destruction of our society, ot at least theyre making out to be needs to get dismantled as they have lost the war on weed & now are looking to go after something else to make money.......
 
At least at the end someone pointed out more people are just gonna use Heroin... Doesn't affect me, but I remember this doctor everyone in my town went to for Lortabs. You'd at least come out with a buncha Tylenol 3/4 if he didn't like you. But he would write 30 every week(4 a day) and then write for 3 more refills for the rest of the month...So now I guese people just gotta go every week? lol. Pill abuse problem solved.
 
What they really want is everyone to turn to dope which IMO is largely disbursed by the same authorities trying to get it off the streets.
Then when everyone (or almost everyone) goes to dope, lace it to scare people away by deaths.. causing people to go on ORT out of fear. (Which is happening now)
Then eventually cutting off as much flow of product as possible to get as many people into the many opening ORT centers (ie: governement owned Methadone clinics) around the country.. causing gain in capital for the government and getting a "job well done", for a problem that they helped feed themselves.

This may be my opinion only, but i bet im not the only person who thinks this way or sees it happening.

You my friend are absolutely correct in your thinking......there's no doubt in my mind that certain agencies are bringing heroin/coke/etc.....into the country to get everyone on pills hooked on opiates & the best way to do it is to start arresting doctors & making it harder to get pills.
 
We'll either opiates are gonna become less popular recreational drugs or more people are going to use heroin which is possible but pretty much all of us started with hydro and then worked our way up so without such wide access to vikes and norcos I bet a lot of future drug users will skip opis altogether.
 
Why this is happening.

Well,think about it:the government makes money by letting drugs into the country,as well as from their distrubution.Then they bust people and seize their money,houses and other assets.More money for them.Plus they get their drugs back so they can put them back out on the street and start the cycle over,perpetual cash flow.To say nothing of the vast ammounts of money they make from keeping the criminal justice system going:court fines,salaries for judges and lawyers,state and federal funding for jails and prisons(not to mention the large number of privately run facilities that are partially owned by judges and business men).All in all,the penal system is big business and it's in their best interest financially to keep locking people up.The war on prescriptions is just a natural progression of this.Sad.Especially for those of us who legitimately need them.The authorities keep harping on the diversion of prescription drugs but they create the problem themselves.If healthcare providers were able to write effective prescriptions without the DEA up their asses then prescription drug diversion would not be such a problem because there wouldn't be much profit for illegal dealers of these medications.People would know they could get the meds legally themselves.Those in the criminal justice field don't want to put themselves out of a job so this insane policy will only continue to get worse.
