I understand the fears of those who would object to those types of drugs, but Oxycontin? Percocet? Vicotin? Why are there criminal statutes related to the abuse of these drugs?

Oxycontin is basically what heroin breaks down into... but I see where you're coming from in your first paragraph. It just shows you that what's considered legal and illegal is loosely based on health reasons- as we all know, legal pharmaceutacals are big business... legalizing certain schedule 1 substances would affect the industry somewhat- i don't know how for sure, but there are huge ramifications.
