Although drugs such as oxycodone and hydrocodone have a high potential for abuse, they remain legal because of the value they have as painkillers.ecause they are so powerful, the government regulates prescription drugs to protect people from the risks of addiction. These substances must be heavily regulated because, although they are effective medicines, they can still risk overdose and other complications as a result of drug abuse.
