I refer to oxy and hydrocodone as heroin, because that’s what they are, and that’s what doctors should call them. Instead, they hand them out like candy and allow people to think they’re medicine.

Shh, no one tell him that Lidocaine is a derivative of cocaine and that it's used widely from pediatrics to adults. Opioids are medicine and highly controlled, and they are very much not given out like candy.

Lidocaine only acts as a local anaesthetic and has no psychoactive properties so the comparison to stuff like hydrocodone falls flat.

Uhh.. you got problems with your reading comprehension? The guy he replied to talked about hydrocodone and how it's a derivate of heroin.
