For potentiating oxycodone by inducing enzymes via smoking tobacco that metabolize it into oxymorphone,
how long does it take after smoking cigarettes for P450 2D6 to be induced?

Or am I thinking of the wrong enzymes?

From personal experience, the effects of oxycodone seem to last much much longer (12+ hours) if I have been smoking heavily (both before and during the oxycodone's effects), which would seem to indicate increased metabolism into oxymorphone

I'm just trying to figure out if I should be smoking before or after I take the oxycodone?
Perhaps one needs to be smoking for several days for significant enzyme induction

Any input is appreciated
 
Nothing?

Did they all migrate to a new forum after the lizard people showed up here?
PM the link please?
