I read a article in the business section of the LA Times a few years ago that said the makers of Oxxycontin were working on a way to make the pills useless if they are crushed or tampered with in any way. Because of all the drug overdoses and the amount of people abusing the pills they want to make it tamper resistant. So basically if you crush or cut the pill, it will lose it's potentcy immediately. I think it is great!! Is that the info you wanted?

I believe they are doing it now. I am sure they have the ball rolling already. Don't know when it will be available to the public though. They article didn't say that.
