Most people do not use safe IV practices, so dont think that watching 'friends' IV will teach you how to do it safely.
Immediate onset is not the same thing as the rush, with respect to IV opiates. There is a completely different feeling for 20 seconds or so after IVing most opiates, which is certainly not just the come up being faster. Most people do not experience a rush from oxycodone, although some say they have. Oxycodone is one of the only opioids that I have heard of people switching back to the oral ROA after IVing it. It doesn't last as long when you IV it, and since it's dangerous to IV and most people don't get a rush from it, the risks outweigh the benefits, which is why even some hardcore addicts just eat them.
Thanks, I feel like we cover this on a nearly daily basis.... And then there's posts like the following which are anti-HR and not completely logical...
Even ignoring the rush/no rush argument, IVing oxy will give you much better value for money, especially if you have a tolerance. When I swapped to injecting I was having to eat 200mg to get a decent high going, once I shot up I would shoot only 100mg and get a better high than what I was getting from eating 200mg. The duration is slightly shorter (30 - 60 minutes) but if you do the math it's still much more bang for buck.
That said, I absolutely wouldn't do it without a micron filter, the damage you can do to your body is immense and not worth it.
It's not a better value for money, tolerance or not. As you said, it's substantially shorter which makes you usually want more and more, and
MOST people who actually IV oxycodones don't micron filter. I swear all my friends who are all season veteran IV-users, they all laugh so hard when they hear about kids banging oxy, just like we bust up when I hear about kids smoking oxy.
Even these guys who have been using for years/decades, they slam oxymorphone, hydromorphone, morphine, and heroin, they all take their oxy's orally.... That really should be saying something...
Plus, I'll be the one to say that there is no rush associated with oxycodone, as Tommyboy explained, there is a difference between near instantenous onset, and rush. Several examples, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, morphine
these drugs produce a legit rush.
I've even experienced rushes with morphine and hydromorphone when taken large doses rectally, and oxymorphone can gives me a rushing sensation when I snort it, despite it's slower onset. Heroin give me a damn good rush when I smoke it, but it takes skill to get the technique down as most people don't know how to properly chase.
Another poor example, is how some people inject benzodiazepines. I've injected many benzodiazepines with the proper solvent, be it H20 for midazolam, loprazolam, flurazepam, or PEG for alprazolam, triazolam, and the other common ones. Just because I injected them, didn't mean I got better effects, it's not at all worth the effort, going through micron filtration, the whole injection process makes me nauseous even to think about now because I've been clean from IV drug abuse for over 2.5 years now. Plus, yeah, the only difference is immediate onset, which is why the best way to take benzodiazepines for most rapid onset and for longer-lasting effects, steady effects is
sublingually.
With oxycodone, it's pretty much the same logic being applied, but the ROA that makes the most sense with the most reward and least risk of complications is
orally.
