What is the difference between hydrocodone and oxycodone? Are both of these drugs addictive? Also, if you will, what is a class 3 drug?

Incognito's post is spot on. That said, oxycodone can be highly addictive, more addicting than hydrocodone 4 sure. In fact when you are prescribed oxycodone the doctor has to fill out several sheets for you to bring to the pharmacy because it is a highly controlled substance (schedule II). It is amazing to me that
marijuana is a schedule I drug, something that is not even physically addicting and only has low to moderate psychological addiction, medical benefits, and a drug that should be legalized according to what the state feels is right (although I think I should be legal on a national scale) so the govt. can use that extra money, which would be billions, put it toward drug education about "harder drugs", pull us out of this awful recession, pay off our national debt to other countries and it helps to break up drug lords and people that murder each other in the drug trade and our complete failure on the so called "War on Drugs". It is the only drug I support legalization for, the others on schedule 1 should remain illegal. Pot is a very interesting drug. Yes it gets u high, but it can be regulated by the govt., not laced with second-hand drugs from street thugs that can kill u and children (ppl will cont. to buy this drug regardless) and as I stated it has medical use, increases appetite which is good for terminially ill patients and the old glaucoma benefits, and I even here it helps ppl with MS, multiple scrorsis (spelling). In fact, I hear Montel Williams smokes it. He even admitted it because it helps his MS. Just crazy the stereotype pot has.
Now we have all these ppl abusing painkillers and that is screwing things up for ppl that need these drugs for medical conditions. Stuff like Vicodin and oxycodone may be illegal one of these days, hell they already pulled Darvocet off the market, although the FDA claims it can cause heart problems, this coming from a terrible case study only involving 18 ppl and on a drug that has been used for 50 years! Give me a break. It is the govt's way of starting a trend toward getting pain pills to go illegal. If that happens, wtf are people going to use for pain, esp after surgery or for chronic illness, etc, NSAID drugs work to an extent, but they don't control severe pain, and a newer drug called
Tramadol is fairly weak, and I even hear that is getting abused. Unreal
Be careful with your oxycodone. It can be habit-forming and it is more potent than hydrocodone. Sorry about my rant and rave, lol!! God Bless
