I agree totally. Pick your poison. Valium is the #1 abused prescription drug and no one here seems to have an issue with it. In fact we enjoy talking about it and other benzos. Steroids also dont seem to be a problem. However, mention Oxy and its like you mentioned Anthrax or something.
In any case, for the record, I think what the posters were saying is that both Oxy and Pecocet (or Percodan if you prefer asprin) are Schedule II drugs and therefore, according to the DEA have more potential for abuse, and are more controlled than the higher Schedule drugs. Vicodin is Schedule III. Benzos are Schedule IV. I guess they feel Schedule II is off limits??? But not Ritalin. I see that discussed without a problem.
Anyway, in case your interested here is big brother's assessment of which drugs are dangerous and how so (i.e. controlled substances and their schedule). Its quite enlightening actually. I never knew so many drugs and chemical compounds were scheduled, for example.
http://www.dea.gov/pubs/scheduling.html
As you mentioned I take issue that the higher schedule drugs are necessarily more dangerous. To be honest I take issue with the whole U.S scheduling of drugs. Marijuana is Schedule I, supposedly the worst but I think its a lot less dangerous than, well, Oxycontin or Vicodin.
Ah, but that's another issue....

Note: The link you posted explicitly shows that Ritalin is a "non-narcotic" as compared to Oxycodone.
This is not saying it is less dangerous...............but I think this is ALL getting off subject. This thread is for an open discussion regarding the above IOP.

I agree. Lets get back to seeing if anyone has given this site a shot.
But for the record, (sorry, Diggs, please don't shoot me), I agree that Ritalin is non-narcotic but so what? LSD and shrooms are non-narcotic as well.
I really dont see that narcotic or not makes much a difference. I think the point is both Oxy and Ritalin are Schedule II and therefore subject to the same controls, laws, etc.

Okay, since I started all this, I should probably finish it.
A week ago I placed a small order from this site to try them out. I wanted to give it some time before I posted feedback here. To this date nothing has happened. And from what I believe, the site has been shut down or is otherwise out of business.
The status on the site for my order says "pending shipment. The same thing it said immediately after I placed the order. I received an automated e-mail confirmation of my order but that was the last I heard.
My credit card has not been charged for the order.
I tried e-mailing them a couple of times this week requesting status and no response as of yet.
I tried calling the customer service line (which the web site says is, quite bizarrely, a fax) and I receive a fast busy signal for like 15 seconds and then get disconnected. I called the operator and he said this most likely means the line is off the hook.
Oh, well, as they say, when something seems too good to be true it probably is. At least I am not out any money (yet).

I did the same thing as you for test run. I was on business in completely differnet state, out of netowrk insurance was way to much money and my docter could not call in to refill C-II's. So Placed an order completly and it said pending shipment. But I got an e-mail 1 week later saying, we have an order placed from you, that you have not confirmed. You can visit our website to confirm. Did you recieve the same e-mail?
Anyway I'm glad, my work I just ended up flying back to see my doctor for my meds, which I do not abuse by the way, I got hit by a car head on while riding a bike. The last thing I want to do is get in trouble.

No I didn't but did you notice this recent addition to their web site (under "Policies"):
"Shipping Pain Medications
Offshore Prescriptions will not ship controlled pain killers (vicodin, oxycontin, hydrocodone) to the USA.
If you live in the US and order these items, your order will not be processed. If your credit card was charged, then a full refund will be immediately credited to your account."
So, I would say that it doesn't look good. Not even Hydro's which are Schedule III. My guess is the DEA sent them a little C&D type notice.

I can assure you that it was not a CII since that is illegal...

Well, if they did it was for a real short time as the URL does not work now (site can not be found).
