I am having trouble digesting this...Marijuana is classified as a Class 1 drug right up there with heroin and cocaine...yet the FDA approves a painkiller that is 10 times stronger...thats correct 10 TIMES stronger...OMG!!! WTH??? Now, that same FDA has approved a new painkiller called Zohydro. This is a pill that contains 10 times the opioid hydrocodone as found in the often-abused Vicodin. Worse, the drug is the first approved hydrocodone drug that is not cut with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Unlike the recently reformulated OxyContin, Zohydro does not contain any additives to prevent its users from crushing and snorting or shooting the drug. Abuse concerns led the FDA’s Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee to vote 11 to 2 against recommending the drug’s approval.
