Opioids Percs still worked after 6 years HOLY lol

So my freind randomly called me and said he found 14 5mg oxy procecets and then he tells me they were prescribed to his mom back in october of 2006. Apparently expired oxycodone is not dangerous but they lose some potency, I was surprises thought at how strong they still were.
Its about 5-6 years since they were made and 20mg felt just like it would with the shit i do today.

Has anyone else done expired oxycodone? how did it go for you was it as strong or weaker, for me i can say it was just as strong.

i have taken 20 year old rohypnol (i fuck you not). still as potent as it ever was. same with bromazepam. found two packs of em lying around the house when i went on a scavenging mission.

if they are kept in a dark, cool environment, airtight container, i don't see any reason that they would go bad anyways, other than losing slight potency.

I think oxycodone is a rather stable structured molecule.

This question seems to be raised a lot lately. Expired medications, stored in the correct environments, (medication specific, but usually a cool, dark, dry, airtight location) will work for years and years and years past the expiration date with minimal loss of potency.

The better the pills were stored = The least amount of potency lost.

There was a very similar thread recently where someone had taken pills that were around 40 years old that still worked, and i've seen several reports of people taking drugs that expired like 15 years ago and are still fine. With the right storage conditions they can be fine for a long time

Haha, I believe that was me, taking my grandfathers military methylphenidate from the 60's or 70's?

When you say slight potency do you mean something like 20mg of oxycodone would feel like 15 mg after say 5 years.Or not even that much weaker..?
