Yeah, those are Roxi 30's, not percs. Anyway, man don't your valuable Roxi's by trying to vaporize or smoke them. They are many reasons not to:
1. Oxycodone comes as the hydrochloride salt meaning heating it to be smoked will destroy/decompose the majority of oxycodone before it can vaporize
2. Your body will metabolize and remove any oxy that DOES vaporize way to quickly (very short duration of effects)
3. The vast majority of the tablets are fillers and binders (e.g. cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, corn starch, lactose, stearic acid, and dyes) so really
your smoking a bunch of nasty bullshit, and only a negligible amount of oxycodone hcl. Also, as they fillers decompose from heat new chemicals
will form which you'll inhale as well.
4. Taking oxycodone orally has a very respectable bioavailability averaging nearly 75% (60-87%* -wiki) and is absorbed very quickly in the gut (under 15 min. on
an empty stomach). By popping it you can't go wrong (unless you just ate a massive fucking meal directly before).
5. Being that it's the hydrochloride salt, it's fairly well suited for absorbtion thru nasal cavities and muscous membranes. This makes abusing it thru snorting a way
more effective option than destroying it thru smoking. Bioavailability vs. oral is lowered by snorting, but on the other hand peak drug concentration
occur more rapidly (stronger high). Also, the lack of other meds like tylenol, aspirin, etc. and the low mass of the whole pill makes snorting Roxies an
even more practical way to abuse.
Popping Roxicodone provides a fucking great high, quickly, efficiently, and effectively. The overall high from 60 mg of empty-stomach oral oxycodone will kick the shit out of snorting two Roxi 30's. Smoking many hydrochloride drug salts (with exceptions like vaporizing recrystallized methamphetamine hcl) destroys more product than the high justifies, plus creates nasty unpleasant fucking 'flavors' and harsh smoke. I've sat and chewed my own OxyContins with dealers while they smoked Roxies/OC's, and the smell was always foul and acrid. The high (which they claimed was the best) made them appear strangely
disoriented in a bad lobotomy type way - I think the effects of smoking those fillers attributes more to the sloppy, dirty looking (sorta dissociated) 'high' than whatever small amount of intact, vaporized n' inhaled oxycodone does.
Bottom line: Just pop it, or chew it (if it's an OC). Shit, let it sit under your tongue for five minutes after chewing. Even snort it. Just don't waste your precious Roxies charring them on foil.
