> legal hard drugs such as vicodin

Isn't vicodin designed in such a way that the secondary ingredient would kill you before you'd get high on the primary one?

It does work that way but I don't know if it was intentional, acetaminophen is a very valid anti-inflammatory and (non-opiod based) painkiller.

I have no idea how Vicodin was designed; however, paracetamol (acetaminophen) wouldn't do that. It is liver toxic in higher doses, and can certainly kill your liver and you eventually, but that takes weeks.
