 Re: Article re TropicalRx in Miami Herald

I surfed over to legalrxstore.com, one of the pharmacies mentioned in the article. If the reporter read what he was getting, he might have found out why s/he is a complete idiot.
Here's a quote from the site (European) explaining what Vicodin is, and what their substitution is. I think most of us here know that hydrocodone is six to ten times stronger than an equal amount on codeine...
Quote:
In the US many trademarks exist as Vicodin, Lortab, Percocet, Fiorinal, Lorcet and Norco which are all different combinations of paracetamol with codeine or its twin-sister hydrocodone. To make things complicated the exact strength of these brands is often veiled in a phantasy name and the active substances are called by different (non scientific) names as acetaminophen for paracetamol or use hydrocodone instead of codeine. As the action of both is similar the substitution of codeine by hydrocodone is irrational. All these brands are prescription only and come at a high price. If you want to know what you get, order our generic paracetamol/codeine
What complete and utter bullshirt..The reporter who fell for this Best if kept off the board, and ordered codeine is completely braindead. Funny, really, if it weren't all so utterly tragic and damaging..
