As with everything else the Pharmaceutical Industry gets involved in, it will take years of tests and untold amounts of money to develop the pills. Who do you think will pay for all of this? If the 'new and improved' pills actually work, the cost will be passed on to us.
As it stands now we can't get pain relief because a small percentage of our population likes to abuse drugs, and it is a small percentage. I see large numbers of people everyday who are not abusing drugs. They go to work, take care of their families, do what they should be doing. On the other hand, I can't remember the last time I actually saw someone abusing drugs. I see it on TV, I read about it in the newspaper, see it in movies, but rarely encounter it in real life.
I realize that if people work in certain types of jobs, they run into it more than I would. That being said, most people do not abuse drugs.
I know I'm ranting but can't help it. We, the people who really have a use for the medication, have to pay the bill to develop a 'new type' of pain pill because of a small percentage of people who are drug abusers. I'm sorry but I have a hard time with that. The abusers are the problem, they are in the minority, yet we will pay the price in the future, just as we pay it now, for their actions. I can't see the logic in that.
