can you smoke crushed pills?

No not really, the majority of pills are made up of an aggregate of fillers, binders, coatings and adhesives that don’t melt and vaporize.
Instead, they sinter and decompose, the vapors will be pretty nasty. I doubt it would be very enjoyable.

Some exceptions do exist; south east Asian meth pills and a few generic opioids tablets.

Yeah I've smoked oxys before. Off of tin foil, years ago. It can be done.

How did you do so? I am eating mine currently (taking pill orally) and 40mg legit takes lkke a full hour to work. I assume smoking will make it kick in way quicker but my only question is: will i end up wasting a bunch of pills trying to smoke the oxy correctly? and how does dosing compare to taking it orally?
 
You Could Try To Vape It Off Of Aluminum Foil, Such As Reynold's Wrap. Yabba ('mad medicine') Style.

With oxy it's a waste but it can be done. You will probably waste some before you learn how to chase the dragon correctly. Most people smoke them off foil and there is a technique to it to prevent it from burning. You have to keep the pill moving around and keep the flame away from the bottom of the foil. It's a dance and it takes awhile to become proficient at it.

I've never smoked them but people I know that did said it kicked in much faster but the duration was heavily reduced. On top of that it is not an efficient ROA. With oxycodone everything but taking orally is a waste compared to the effects you'll get from eating them. Even IV is a waste because there is no real rush with oxycodone. It just reduced duration and makes them kick in instantly. I think you gain maybe 10% going the IV route.

People that can't wait for an oral dose to kick in typically snort oxycodone. It comes on faster, duration isn't reduced very much and anything that isn't absorbed through the nose will drip down to the stomach. But there are issue with it. Mainly it ruins your nasal passages after awhile and if you breath in too hard you can end up ruining your lungs after awhile due to all the binders and other things in the pill getting into your lungs.

Your best bet is to just keep eating them. They're already addictive enough as it is. Once you get into snorting/smoking/shooting you reinforce the addictive behavior to the point where you get addicted to the act of taking the drug just as much as consuming the drug itself. Which is why there are people that snort, shoot and smoke all types of things they know won't get them high. They just want to go through the ritual.

For me when I was actively addicted to oxycodone I typically would eat a pill and snort at least half of a pill to get started. That would give me the best of both worlds. But I had weak willpower so after I got first alerts I'd be in the bottle every 30-60 minutes and crushing up another tablet to snort. I'd repeat doing that until I nodded off or ran out. Would stay up all night getting high then wake up in w/d the next morning and start all over again.

Oxy is like one of the worse substances to chase off foil. I never understood why people did it. It would make me angry watching them do it because I knew they were wasting 50+% of the oxycodone every time they smoked a pill. They should have just crushed it, snorted it and given me half of it.
 
I recommend against snorting or smoking oxycodone. Snorting caused me to become addicted where a decade of eating various pain pills had never even gotten me sick. Snorting oxycodone and I started getting sick every Friday after using just the previous Friday. As for smoking it that seems wasteful and dumb off of foil. I’d at least put it in propylene glycol and buy a temp controlled vaporizer device. Start low and go up degree by degree until you get an effect. But smoking off foil is dumb. It’s really rare to have an oxy script and doctors are itching to cut you off. Showing up as clearly a junky is sure to do that. My old oxy dealer started trading for heroin and that was the end of him and his fifteen Millie green monsters. Be careful dude. Longevity of habit and security of prescription is way more important than shaving off an hour of waiting and becoming a stark raving junky. Snort them if you have to. Put em in pg if you must. But don’t smoke them off of foil. Be fucking careful dude. You’ll ruin a very good thing.

oxy bioavailability is 90%

smoking a salt you will destroy almost all of the drug. you’ll get diizzy on fumes of burnt excipients.

if you want to smoke opioids you should freebase them first. still a waste when oral is 90% BA.
 
oxy Hcl decomp temp is 270 C.

oxy HCL MELTING temperature is 220C.

you have to heat it way past 270 to vaporize it but it will pyrolize and be destroyed before it makes it into the vapor phase

long to mention you are pyrolizimg it into a disgusting mess with all the pill excipients,

this is what chat gpt says

Oxycodone hydrochloride doesn’t have a clean, well-defined “vaporization temperature” like something designed to be vaporized. It’s a solid pharmaceutical salt, and when you heat it, it tends to decompose before it meaningfully vaporizes.


Here’s the relevant chemistry in practical terms:


  • Melting point: ~218–222 °C (with decomposition)
  • Behavior when heated: instead of turning into a stable vapor, it breaks down chemically (pyrolysis), producing various byproducts rather than intact oxycodone molecules

Pill count or UA? --- distant third trackmarks or junky behavior

oh yea death that is a very plausible option D
