GREAT product + aggressive marketing= success.
powerful opiods have always been popular. a generation ago it was dilaudid. (brand name for hydromorphone.) now its oxycodone (oxycontin) opium and its derivatives will always be popular. all of these drugs have been around a long time, nuthin new! pharmaceutical companies have formulated new and effective marketing strategies. these ghouls know that once you are dependent on their product, you will continue to use it at ANY cost. the fucks that market xanax knew what they were doin when they introduced the 2 mg "bar". if you become addicted to aprazolam, chances are you will never ever come off it. it is worse than heroin, hillbilly or otherwise.
as an x junkie and veeery informed consumer, i assure you these fiends know what they are doin. and you thought big tobacco was bad...........
