Taltarzac, are you joking or serious? If you are serious, you need to understand that Oxycontin is very basically a synthetic morphine. It is an opiate. It came out on the market years ago as a timed release form of pain relief for cancer patients. It is one of the most controversial and highly abused and addictive pain medicines on the market. I won some Associated Press awards for my coverage of oxy abuse in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. It is known as "hillbilly herion." I interviewed the COO of Perdue Pharma and got them on the record with some pretty controversial things regarding the abuse and over prescribing by physicians for patients on Medicaid. PLEASE, be very careful. It is highly addictive.
