Health risks and problems associated with smoking Oxycodone in the form of OC

smoking definitely produces effects i know people that are addicted to smoking it and they do get sick. some even say its worst than snorting, but im not sure about that. i never saw the appeal in smoking it.
 
I saw this kid on an MTV production who was addicted to smoking OC off of foil. I mean, do they (the kid and the corporation) think it's more hardcore to smoke it instead of just chewing it up and swallowing? Just like people with the snorting fetishes. No, you're not Tony Montana so just chew up the damn things. Christ.
 
I smoked a purdue 40 once after a friend told me it took about half as much and tasted like marshmallows. I got high for about an hour with 20mg then smoked the rest right after. Time's definitely cut way short.

I think it IS more hardcore. Any stupid, blonde, highschool girl can pop oxy all day long but once you move to smoking its like youre stepping up to another level. Id say its right beneath shooting heroin, its even stronger than smoking H hit for hit by far. It has a very distinct rush and although it doesnt last long(2-3 hours average) it is very addicting. Its an instant, super euphoric rush followed by an opiate high- whats better than that??? The only things imo that rivals it is shooting good quality dope or hydro/oxy morphone.

To the original matter... I know of atleast 50 people who smoke OC and have for several years, some over 5 even. No negative health effects have been observed or reported by any of them. As said before, smoking anything cant be great for you but lets not automatically assume its bad. People smokeBTH, fentanyl, marijuana and people dont look down upon that, I really dont see what the big deal is.8)

Theres really something to this smoking oxy thing, its not going to go away anytime soon because It MOST DEFINITELY works! I know people that have tried to switch to smoking BTH to be more cost effective and none of them stick with it since it is inferior. Lets all try to be open minded and find out as much as we can. This is about harm reduction right?!
 
Heres an idea. Stop wasting your time. I seriously dont get why people like to smoke an oxy. Yeah Ive done it and understand...its fun to try new things. Yes it tastes like sugar too. Yes its a fun ritual. But goddamn people, do you care about the effect your getting at all or just the "funnest" way to do it? You realize that smoking an oxycontin pill even the most efficient way is A COMPLETE UTTER WASTE? Im just making sure...you know this right? RIGHT?

Lets see...

You could...

Eat the pill and get X amount of a high.

You could snort the pill and get slightly less high, yet faster.

You could shoot the pill and get nearly the entire amount of drug with a slightly different but still very efficient high

You could plug the pill and get a high similar but stronger then eating it

OR

You could SMOKE the pill, and basically watch your money go to waste and get a high barely half as potent as any one of these other ways of administration.

GG

Seriously who ever thinks that smoking one of these pills will produce a more intense stronger high just STOP. Seriously stop. All you're doing is spreading misinformation, cause thats all you're doing. I dont care what you think, smoking oxycontin is NOT a more efficient route then ANY other route of administration.

IF you have never smoked an oxycontin before and are reading this thread considering it I have this to say to you. Please, by all means try it. Trying it once or twice will do you NO harm. Just please believe me when I tell you that it is the LEAST efficient way to get things done. Ive TRIED many MANY times and I did it GOOD too. I didnt miss the hit, I didnt blow it out too soon, I didnt fuck it up, Ive done it the right way a handful of times because like you I was once also curious. IM telling you right now its a fucking waste and it hurts me in my heart to read about all these people who literally ENJOY wasting money and drugs.

Please, if you do anything for this forum stop the spread of "smoking oxycontin" threads.

Thanks!

Yes it is about harm reduction. Not about how smoking oxy is good because it gets you high. And swallowing a pill is much less harmful than SMOKING A FUCKING PILL. Repeat, SMOKING A FUCKING PILL.
 
I don't think you're getting any converts here. The consensus is that the safest thing to do is to eat your fucking oxycodone.
who gives a shit if "smoking OC is stepping up to another level"...and then to say "this is about harm reduction right?" when your entire argument is based on how amazing the high is and absolutely nothing about harm reduction. Then again life is all about being more hardcore and stepping up your drug use to the most hardcore, baddest ass, biggest e-dick around.

stepping up your drug use isn't cool, especially when you're potentially doing something that is very unsafe. and even worse trying to get other people on your bandwagon when you have absolutely no idea of the consequences besides "well some people have been doing it for years, and they appear to be ok." trust me, if you've been smoking OC for years, you are far from ok.

Until someone gets all the ingredients of OC and their melting temperature this convo is going no where.

I don't wanna be the one to say it, but this just failed a second time.

I don't know where to find the information that would make this thread relevant, and it seems nobody else does either-- that or they just don't care.

Either way, it's getting washed up in the argument & stupidity. This is my official vote to re-close the thread.

a quiet ps-- I've known lots of people to smoke this gaf, and they say it works. Who cares? Maybe it does(it's probably a catastrophic waste, but who cares?). This thread was supposed to be about health consequences these people may face in the future, not about how foolish they are. Smoking anything is bad news when talking cancer, so this thread may just be a thinly veiled excuse to bicker about whether or not it works. Really now...
 
Why does everyone get so butt hurt over these threads? who the fuck cares how people use their drugs, if they want to burn it all away who gives a fuck, if they want to inject fillers in their veins who fucking cares? its there choice, I sure as hell aint losin any sleep over it


It sucks cuz theres really no valuable information on it still, because instead of people finding information to back up their claims they would rather have a huge post on why they think SMOKING PILLS IS BAD, so far this thread is pretty useless, just giving people a place to vent their opinions on a certain ROA, try LESS opinions and MORE facts
 
I guess I can't cite any specific material on long-term effects of OC smoking. So yeah, I vote to close the thread too. There's just not enough information out there, even though us common-sense types know that it is harmful and stupid. That's all I'll say.
Mods close this thread, it's getting nowhere.
 
^psh, all the drug related threads on this site should be closed. there is no new information being presented, just a bunch of junkies and etards repeating what they heard in old posts.
 
Oral BA is 90%? Really? Source please

Are you shitting me? That is probably the one BA that almost everyone here knows. I'm not going to do the work for you. All you have to do is look it up. It's actually 95+% orally. That's why most (informed) people here will tell you that taking OC any way other than orally makes no sense.
 
^not that i consider it a great source (though, relative to you, it's alright), but wikipedia puts oxy's oral bioavailbility at 60-87%.
 
hey remember this great debacle? let's see if anyone has anything new to present.

and no, i'm not going to close this thread as it's pertinent to HR.
 
leftwing, honestly until someone can get the temperature statistics to prove whether or not smoking oxycodone is realistic or not, the argument is totally pointless.
 
someone did present the temp statistics but deleted their post so i will post them in a second.

but don't you think it would be advantageous to the community if this information is available? that's the whole point of this site.

we might never get to any kind of conclusion but it's still a valid topic of discussion. from my limited exposure to the oxy smoking culture it seems to be growing and we've increasingly been faced with such posts in OD over the years.

statistics for the freebase salt, not Hcl, which is what we're really after. i don't have a source unfortunately because as i said the poster decided to delete his post so i've reposted.

MP : 218°-220°C
BP : 224°C

I do agree with your points, and thanks for the numbers. However, this topic was before the OC to OP switch, so I think HCL is increasingly popular now? I'd like some numbers on those too :). I know many smoking the 30 HCL
 
i'd like to see the Hcl numbers too but haven't been able to come across them myself either, unfortunately. i wasn't clear in that last post, i meant that we're effectively after the Hcl numbers.

even with the existence of OP this topic is still relevant. if we could find out boiling and melting point numbers, ingredient, etc of most the extended release (and IR) it would be even better.
 
Pills containing talc are dangerous to snort and smoke...Believe it or not, when you snort pills some fine particles make it into the lungs.

I don't believe many polymers completely combust, so its quite difficult to predict what you would be inhaling. However, you should know that the polymer isnt 100% of the pill and you aren't actually smoking that much material when you consider the size of most pills.. I don't believe its as dangerous as everyone makes it out to be (hype), but I don't deny adverse effects.

You could always trap the gas and run some qualitative tests :P

I just can't believe people have been recommending IV over smoking pills.

You can at least micron filter an IV shot.

Furthermore, the list of inactive ingredients for OC and more is here. If people want different manufacturer's lists of inactive ingredients added, PM me or another moderator to have it added in.
