Experienced opiate users, especially heroin users. Is Oxycodone "legal smack"?

God yes. I love my oxy but it really is "legal smack". No matter if its a cancer patient or a junkie taking a RX of it, I still consider it smack.
 
Personally, in terms of subjective effects (I used to IV both), oxy has a weaker rush, a shorter high (I would need 3 - 4 shots of oxy a day, as opposed to 2 - 3 of heroin), is somewhat more alert and stimulating, and has slightly weaker histamine effects (less itching and nausea). It can still make you nod at the right dose, but it's also easy to be social or active on. However the actual level of euphoria over the duration of the high is no less than heroin for me.

Heroin by contrast has a stronger rush, a longer high, is more sedate and less active (it's the only opiate people can actually notice I'm high on, I slur my words on heroin and get droopy eyes, which never happens on oxy).

Personally, I'm not too picky. Maybe a slight preference for heroin (unless I'm doing something active or social at the time), but generally speaking, if I'm making a choice between the two, I'll just choose whichever purchase will allow me to spend the most time high for my money.

The other factor is that oxy is reliable. It's much safer to use since you know your exact dose (assuming you use a micron filter if you inject). Heroin is notoriously variable in strength. If the source is unknown or unreliable, then the preference tips strongly towards oxy.



Oxycodone has a 90% oral bioavailability, making it the perfect oral drug. Why would you eat morphine or heroin when oxycodone (a derivative of thebaine).. oh fuck it, you obviously have something against me. whatever.

Nope. Oxy, as someone else said, has a BA varying from 60% - 87%, and in my experience is even lower. Swapping from eating/snorting oxy to injecting oxy allowed me to reduce my dose from 200mg to 80mg while still achieving the same high.
