I don't know, but I'd like to shake her hand.
Vicodin (hydrocodone)is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two of the naturally occurring opiates, codeine and thebaine. Dihydrocodeine was a precursor to the invention of hydrocodone, which was synthesized originally as an antitussive (Capable of relieving or suppressing coughing) in the 1920s. Hard to find information on exactly WHEN it was invented... I kept getting sites about history over overdose. It's a synthetic Opium though, and that has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes.
Dunno, but that person must be a god. (or goddess)
