They aren't banning generics of the new formulation, ie "abuse resistant". Just the original formulation we all loved.
Do they need to use the same formulation, or can they come up with their own? Wasn't the coating on the big oxy 80s that you had to remove considered "abuse resistant"? So could companies release generics that are less abuse resistant than the formulation purdue came up with?

As for your second question, it's true that a lot of us were introduced to heroin when these pills became to expensive and non existent. We're fucked, doesn't mean we need to subject the next generation to it.

2) Are they taking into account how many former oxy users are just going to [continue to] look for dope now?

I still don't see a correlation even with OD deaths and IQ. I've had two friends pass from overdoses, these were not dumb people. Your responses are uneducated if not just plain ignorant.
