So me and my buddy were arguing last night about weather or not you can smoke oc 80's. I told him the BA was low and that any other ROA would be way better. Him and alot of my other friends who still do oc's( i made the switch to H a long time ago) smoke them. He says it get em higher than any other way of consuming them. Can anyone help me prove my point and prove my friend wrong? Thanks in advanced =D
 
Smoking pills is fucking stupid. It's a waste of perfectly good drugs. Yes, you will get some kind of "high" from it. But you're really just wasting like 90% of it. Also, you're inhaling harmful vapors and other shit. Why don't they just snort or eat them? They'll get more out of it.

Tell your friends they are morons.. and I suggest you get new friends too
 
You are right, it doesnt have as good of a BA, not too mention it's a HUUUUUGE waste of the drug. I wouldnt even think about doing that....plain stupid.

It does work to some extent though....and it might even give the user a sense of a rush because the vaporized drug can get absorbed through the lungs and into the bloodtream so quickly that they think there getting a good rush...but the truth is, they are wasting most of the pill and that the rush you get from shooting or snorting it is better, MUCH longer, and doesnt waste the pill like it does when you "try" to smoke it.
 
Thanks for the quick replys. I told them they were fuckin stupid for doing it and tht the vapors had to be killin there lungs lol.I mean i tried it once or twice and i thought it was a HUGE waste. When i used to do OC's i would always snort them like a normal person. I told em the only thing they should smoke opiate wise is black tar. Anything else is just plain STUPID.
 
I have to wonder whether smoking the pill binders affects the absorbtion of oxygen in the lungs...i've known people who swore smoking pills got them higher than other vanilla ROA's. The one time i tried it, i didn't feel the effect of whatever opiate was in the pill...i did feel lightheaded and like i couldn't get enough air for hours afterwards.

it is possible that the perception of diminished O2 levels could be interpreted as feeling higher on an opiate...but jeeze it is such a bad idea!
 
Placebo is also an important aspect of this scenario......some people have a "smoking addiction" and tend to prefer that ROA over any other, no matter how stupid it is. And because of this, they tend to "feel" effects that arent really there...ie....placebo effect. This is somewhat equivilant to someone who has a needle fixation and prefers to inject whatever drug they can get there hands on...like benzo's for instance, which, for the most part, are not water soluble....and therefore cannot be injected safely or effectively.
 
Your friend is only getting high from the poisonous fumes he's inhaling. Smoking oxy is one of the dumbest things you can do.

Yes, and apparently there are ALOT of dumb people out there because smoking oxy is MUCH more common than it shouod be.
 
yes it can be done. no it is not the best way.

it definitely is not one of the dumbest things you can do; there are infinitely more dumb things one can do.

regardless,
this will soon be a null issue with the takeover of the OP 80s
 
Doing drugs in the first place isn't too smart. Luckily there are HR resources like bluelight.


Sure it can be done and yields results, but it's one of the most harmful and low-BA ways to do it.


If he developed his OC habit by smoking it, then maybe that's what his brain has been accustomed to. He may get more oxycodone into his bloodstream using another ROA, but the fact that he needs to replicate those first few times, and do it in his own little world, routine, tickle his fix, that's his way of doing it.

There are an infinite amount of things/environments/routines/act-of's to get addicted to when a opioid drug is involved in the mix.

It's just the complicated fact that oxycodone passes through the reward center and what it does to dopamine/serotonin/etc. chemicals that cause it to be so addictive, encompassing whatever was done to GET the drug, HOW the drug was done, WHERE is was done, WHO was around you, and so on and so on.

The fact that smoking OC yields at least SOME results is what will never stop people from smoking OC. That's just the way it is.


regardless,
this will soon be a null issue with the takeover of the OP 80s

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. People find ways around EVERYTHING. Let's just see how this plays out...
