Oxycodone is an interesting pharmaceutical in that it is synthesized from thebaine instead of morphine or codeine.

The problem with opiates is that by the time you get to a dosage that's therapeutically effective, you'll end up building massive amounts of tolerance to the drug. I'm sure pharma companies are well aware of this fact. Strange how we as a society use opiates for pain management rather than cannibanoids like CBD or CBN.
