Please regarding Elite's technology this is an erroneous argument at best. The medical and governmental community will see to prescribing 216 to curb average people who need pain meds as opposed to those putting pain meds in the microwave!

elichen. Stop and think.

"Accidental deaths don't occur by people *deliberately* putting pills in the microwave or oven or using coke extraction, etc!"

Absolutely does!!! Too much released opioids will cause the addict overloading and consequential heart and breathing to stop. The abuser didn't abuse the drug to commit suicide but rather to have an euphoric effect. It was an accidental death from a prescription opioid.

As for heroin and cocaine addicts no FDA safety ruling can stop it.

Our generation got wasted in high school by raiding our parents' liquor cabinets...there were various strategies for not getting caught...take only one shot from every bottle, take a shot and replace with water, steal the forgotten cordial that has been sitting untouched for fifteen years. Today's generation apparently are not raiding the liquor cabinet but the medicine cabinet. I'm sure it all begins with swallowing the painkillers but then someone finds out that you can gain a new level of euphoria by other routes of administration (snorting, smoking, injecting, etc.). Pretty soon Johnny is a full-blown junkie. Abuse-resistant opiates can't do much for full-blown junkies...they will switch to whatever is available (probably heroin). Once they hit bottom, if they're lucky, they can get into a detox program. Abuse-resistant opiates , however, can prevent little Johnny junkie-to-be from experiencing that super high that comes from alternate routes of administration...they are, therefore, an important prong in the multi-pronged approach that will be necessary to curb the opiate abuse epidemic.
