That's right Red. I'm sorry, you did post you had a degree in pharmacy technology
Can see where being exposed to and somewhat on the inside of getting information would give you interesting insights
Yeah it is bizarre pot is Schedule I and Vicodin is Schedule III. What are Percocet and Percodan scheduled as? From what I've seen they both have a high potential for abuse and addiction
Am guessing you know the whole pot prohibition story. Who was it H.S. Anslinger, that went on a campaign to have pot made illegal when in fact the only people smoking pot at that time were a very few guys on the Mississippi delta and Anslinger wanted more funding and pot was an easy target

Vick,
Percodan and Percocet are both schedule II drugs. Percodan is oxycodone and aspirin,
Percocet is oxycodone and acetaminophen.
Vicodin is hydrocodone and acetaminophen. The reason vicodin is a C-III is because hydrocodone is a semisynthtic compound. meaning it's a combination of natural and synthetic drugs. Oxycodone is derived from thebaine, which is one of the opium alkaloids found in the poppy pod.
Actually I don't know the pot prohibition story, now I'm going to have to do some research.
