actually there are a number of ggod reasons that oxycontin is approved. before there were oxycontins people had the option of morphine 4 times a day which has a poorer bioavailability orally is actually seen as having a higher abuse potential due to its effects when smoked or injected, or popping percocets or vicodins or other instant release, generally smaller dose forms of opioid drugs constantly. oxycontin is a superioir painkiller as it is well absoberd orally and produces fewer side effects than other drugs and is actually a good deal less sough after than the drugs it replaced, dilaudid, numorph. The other more important reason is someone makes a shitload of cash. thats because oxycontin doesn't grow on trees. marijuana does. that is the reason they won't approve it, no money, and it is also hard to justify reccomending someone smoke anything, and it is hard to approve everybody's pot, which the government has no chance of inspecting, etc etc
