Should OxyContin even be Legal? Petition to Ban Oxy is Making Rounds

i have never seen so much misery and sorrow inflicted on so many,i am a recovered x junkie who only smokes grass recreational y and i thank god for mt life everyday,as i also thank him that oxycotion did not exists when i was so young and foolish i see young people buying from the old people with medical conditions [the old people say this drug knocks them out] so they sell it to young people for lots of money so they can make ends meet their disability checks are not enough to pay their rent and have air conditioning in summer or heat in winter, and its really sad. they are making junkies that cant ever get well their lives will never b the same ever again,and methadone kills too i think the manufacturers should pay for the many lives they have taken and it should be completely outlawed,they should be taxed with finding a better drug to get people off this stuff and help people live not die a lot of kids or youngster get high because they think its cool cause a friend they look up to is doing it they don't know each trip could be their very last time they will ever have any control over what their gonna do to get the next high. pharmaceutical cos are supposed to make medicines to help u when you are sick not make u so sick u want to die, and some people will never wash clean all the things they did just to get high. where i live their is a new home invasion everyday because of it even straight people have no safety it used to b a great place to live now thanks to Florida so called lose laws on this drug its destroyed my home my life etc,and i think despite this economy many people love the beautiful state but don't feel its a safe or friendly place anymore not cause of the oil spill but the heroin pipeline and its synthetic evil twin. i think the executives of the companies who whitewashed it to congress and the fda ought to go to real prisons and suffer side by side with the animals that were once somebody's babies and see the ramifications of what they have done! then we can ask if the money still makes them feel good or sick! everyone deserves a second chance in this life jesus christ himself even said so on the cross but w oxy there are very few second chances for anyone it is evil and everyone is prey!

well it isn't legal, of course through prescription it is, but then so is marijuanna,... My heart goes out to all of those affected by Oxycontin in negative was, but cocaine kills and drunk drivers kill more than any drug, on this planet...

Its actually ignorant to say that one drug is worse than another, its up to the people that use the drugs to understand what they are putting in there body, oxycontin cannot do anything by itself, much like a hand gun cannot to anything by itself.

the only resolution to this problem would be to legalize all of these drugs and have coffee shops where you can go and use while supervised, maybe like a drug user must apply for a card to be able to use these "coffee shops" where trained proffesionals are on hand to minimize the risk of overdose or drug combinations.

Its evolution, you cannot stop evolution, and more and more people rely on drugs for various reasons, If you want to save the economy than legalizing these drugs would be a big step, eliminating mindless crime, suicides, drug overdoses etc. all the while destroying the drug trade and profiting from it, the money can be put into social programs, for the poor or, for those who want to quit but dont know where to turn.
