Lol. No. It was stated that the newer formula was more difficult to crush and therefore more difficult to be abused by snorting it.
So it takes 2 minutes instead of 1 minute to crush it? It's an addictive drug.
I don't disagree. My point was that the drug is so widely abused that measures have been taken to "lessen" the chances that it is abused by the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies themselves. Though meaningless as they might be.
To me the difficult issue is balancing the potential for abuse- with adequately medicating for pain.
I know someone who get severe migraines- and when the sumatriptains work- they work great- but when they don't- nasty, nasty.
But doctors are very reluctant to prescribe powerful painkillers for what is both chronic- and largely unpredictable. Marijuana in those cases frankly is easier to obtain than powerful enough pain killers and tends towards less abuse. Doesn't eliminate the pain but makes the pain more tolerable, and eliminates the nausea from the migraines.
