Pain management isnt exactly a fixed science. Oxycodone already exists in a pure form and in fact they did that due to concerns and limits of tylenol intake. Reality is there are plenty of legal substances people can abuse like alcohol or worse other OTC and household items that can be abused. Does that mean they should all be made illegal if so then we need to outlaw all cough medicines because of their potential for abuse by so called "Robotrippin" (named after robitussin) or glue or paint as people like to HUFF. Im far from an advocate for pushing addictive substances on the public but the reality is there is a legitimate medical reason for this being done and I dont see any difference between it and the already legal Oxycodone and Oxycontin.
Because something can be abused doesnt mean it shouldnt exist
