yo, i know this is another OXY thread, but this isnt a stupid question, or a price thread so here goes..
i have a good buddy that i recently introduced to OXY, and he was taking NUBAIn before, and of course, he was SHOOTING it INTRAVENOUS...i gave him some OXY,and of course he fell in love with it, but i am only letting him take it on the weekends...he is taking the OXY and shooting it INTRAVENOUS!!!i have told him a thousand times that this is not a very HEALTHY thing to do, but he just says "oh well, i like the rush"..i tell him he is a fucking fool, but he keeps on shooting it..i cant stop him from doing it, so i figured id ask some of you OXY GENIUSES out there to POST and tell this guy what can happen to HIM if he continues to shoot this shit up..i will make him read this post...appreciate it..
also, today he came to me and told me he had a "knot" in the vein he was shooting OXY in..i told him to stay away from shooting it anymore, and of course, he didnt listen...he went ahead and shot it up in that SAME FUCKING VEIN..
please tell this guy what can happen to him if he keeps this shit up..he is one hard-headed motherfucker....
 
From PhreeX's OxyContin FAQ
11) Can I inject it?
!NO! This is probably one of the most common questions asked .. now let me tell you that when it comes to IV drug use, that is the only way I go.. but not with OxyContin! Why not you ask? Well, from the Purdue website -
"OxyContin consists of a dual-polymer matrix, intended for oral use only. Parenteral venous injection of the tablet constituents, especially talc, can be expected to result in local tissue necrosis and pulmonary granulomas."
For a better explanation of this VERY REAL condition, I found this in the 'The New England Journal of Medicine' .. I capitalized the important shit..
--/BEGIN/--
A 25-year-old woman with a history of heroin use was admitted for increasing dyspnea. A chest radiograph showed diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates that were predominantly interstitial. An open-lung biopsy was performed. Histologic analysis showed medial hypertrophy of medium-sized pulmonary arteries indicative of pulmonary hypertension, as well as occasional foreign-body granulomas. Polarized light microscopy revealed refractile particles in the outer portion of the wall of a pulmonary artery (hematoxylin and eosin, x40). Electron microscopy of lung tissue showed the ultrastructural aspects of the embolized microcrystalline material in an alveolar septum. IN INTRAVENOUS DRUG USERS, PULMONARY GRANULOMATOSIS IS DUE TO THE REPEATED FORMATION OF MICROEMBOLI OF FOREIGN MATERIAL RESULTING FROM THE INJECTION OF SUSPENSIONS OF CRUSHED TABLETS OR THE CONTENTS OF CAPSULES INTENDED FOR ORAL CONSUMPTION. THE FOREIGN MATERIAL CONSISTS OF INSOLUBLE MICROCRYSTALS (CELLULOSE, TALC, OR STARCH) USED AS INERT FILLER SUBSTCES IN ORAL PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS SUCH AS METHADONE AND BARBITURATES. There is no specific treatment for granulomatous lung disease related to intravenous drug use. The open-lung biopsy was complicated by a pneumothorax. Progressive respiratory failure subsequently developed, and the patient died four weeks later.

But I know that some people don't want to listen to silly little things like that, because it's just more propaganda from 'the man' - BULLSHIT! Drugs are fun, and opioids are one of the ONLY drugs that don't actually do ANY damage to the user - shit, in terms of physical damage, marijuana is FAR more dangerous then heroin - but if you inject OxyContin, while you might enjoy the rush today, the above paragraph about pulmonary granulomas would make me think twice.. btw, it's not as though you can filter the shit out, as these particles are tiny and not even noticeable in the liquid.... because of the danger in injection, I am not even going to outline the proper procedure for preparing a pill for injection - if you want to fuck yourself up that bad then you will have to learn it yourself!
 
actually you can. if your friend was smart enough he would of first figured out how to extract the oxy into a crsytal form and then shoot. its as easy as irc.
 
Actually, PhreeX Industries Inc. came up with a way to get the narcotic out of the pill and bang it - the process isn't that involved, but it wastes a good amount of the drug, and it MUST be done is ALMOST FREEZING conditions ... it's easier to just snort the pill, honestly guys, I have tried both ways..
Now if you got a massive supply and are happy with a 60%-70% yeild, you might enjoy it... I am sure Roches could improve upon it, and with a vacuume you could do even better..
Kids, don't bang OC!

NOPE, my buddy saw the method, and said "no way am i taking that long to shoot it".. what a smart guy he is...
for some reason, i dont feel OXY that great when i snort it..it gives me a little head buzz, but thats about it..i like crushing and drinking it..it seems to give me a much better high..
 
If you think he is going to kill himself with it, why do you keep giving it to 'him'?
 
its not that i can keep him from getting it..i give it to a few friends of mine, and he will call them up if he doesnt get it from me...no matter if i tell him NO and dont give it to him, hell just go to a friend and get it from him...
also, whenever we are all partying and hanging out, and he is left out with nothing, it causes a PROB with friendship..
the guy will get it no matter what, so theres nothing i can do about it..
 
You CAN shoot oxy like normal and it will just look like nothing is wrong, but in time he will begin to be very very unhealty and get all kinds of problems, so let him wait and see if he wont stop. He will eventually have the crap in the pill stuck inside the walls of his liver and lungs and he will die from fluid in his lungs or liver failure.
That said, you CAN SHOOT IT SAFELY! mind you idiots (ravers) and street fucks wont do it and probably cant do it correctly anyway, but its very easy if you use the correct amounts of water and oxy crushed (and make sure its a fine crystal powder and not flat discs which can happen when crushing it, just use a credit card and chop them), and use a small glass vial with a cap on it you will have a good extract.
you extract the exact amount of oxy you want in the amount of water your going to shoot it in, say 20mg from an 80 or 1/4th the pill in 2ml water. dont use less water per mg or it wont filter correctly. Filter with cotton and it will be clear and crap-free.
You shouldnt use more than half an 80 in 3-4ml of water, phreex suggests you use a 40 in 10ml but this has worked perfect and i dont want to evap it i just bang it straight because i usually need it quick. Also the more water you use the more of the shit you dont want can disolve.

This is getting outta hand. I was looking Bluelight here today when I see a story on TV about oxycontin and how desperate people are to get their hands on it. I wouldn't be surprised if government tries to make this drug illegal pretty soon.
 
u wouldn't be surprised if they make OXY illegal??it is already illegal to have without a presciption..i doubt any major changes will take place for awhile...its just stupid fuckkers(like my buddy) ruin this drug and give it a bad name..
he doesnt shoot it everyday, but prbably 2-3 days/week, and usually 2-3 times per day..
ill guess im just going to have to cut the guy off...he cant be responsible so..
 
Banging oxycontin is an absolute waste. There is no "rush". Even if you inject it there is a minute or two before you feel it.
The effects are not any stronger than if you just ate it.
Plus even after you rub off the coating, you still need to get rid of the filler which most people are too stupid to do. You can't get rid of all the filler and it never dissolves right in the spoon when you're getting ready to shoot. The little pieces end up screwing up your lungs, eyes and veins if you keep shooting it for a while.
Here's the other stupid thing people do with oxy: snorting it. Again you have to get rid of the filler so it will all assorb through your tissue correctly and even then it's still not as powerful as eating it.
Take a wet paper towel, wash the coating off, and eat it. And don't take more than 20mgs unless you're a moron and you WANT to become severely addicted and develop a high tolerance for a drug you can't afford. 20mgs is beyond satisfactory even for someone that does heroin every now and again. If you don't have a tolerance there is no reason why 20mgs wouldn't do it for you. More than that won't really get you much higher, you'll just end up itching and sweating a lot more and getting sick.
I've been using oxycodone in various forms for 7 years now and I still don't need more than 20mgs. Why? Because I'm not a dumbass and I didn't intentionally get myself hooked. It's not really that easy. It requires a high degree of idiocy to accomplish requiring more than 40mgs of oxycodone to get high.
And one final thing, if you are comparing oxycodone to heroin, you either haven't done both to know, or you are a moron. The physical symptoms such as pupil constriction, pale skin, prefuse sweating and itching are of course similar, but the highs themselves are quite different.
 
SovietContin, you dont quite seem to know what you are talking about...
Banging oxycontin is an absolute waste. There is no "rush". Even if you inject it there is a minute or two before you feel it.

Huh? Obviously injecting a drug intravenously is more potent than taking it orally (with a few rare exceptions, i.e. LSD). I feel no need to explain this one.
Take a wet paper towel, wash the coating off, and eat it.
First off, the time release mechanism is the binder of the pill, not the coating. Wiping off the coating will accomplish absolutley nothing. Instead you must finely crush the pill to break the time release.
Here's the other stupid thing people do with oxy: snorting it. Again you have to get rid of the filler so it will all assorb through your tissue correctly and even then it's still not as powerful as eating it.
This makes no sense at all. The drug is still being absorbed through your nasal membranes, therefore giving an increased potency and quicker onset.
And don't take more than 20mgs unless you're a moron and you WANT to become severely addicted and develop a high tolerance for a drug you can't afford.
I snort 40mg+ of oxycontin on occasion, and I am not a "moron" or an "addict." As long as you have will-power and self control, drugs will never take control of you. (Unfortunately, many people are not so self controlled.)
And one final thing, if you are comparing oxycodone to heroin, you either haven't done both to know, or you are a moron.
Oxycodone and heroin are both semi synthetic opoids, which are similar in structure and have a similar methods of action on the brain, thus producing similar "highs." In fact, I think both are converted to morphine in the brain. You are right that a user could distinguish between an oxycodone high and a heroin high, but a person should not at all be considered a "moron" to compare the two drugs. On the contrary, it makes alot of sense to compare two very similar drugs.
So, after weeding all of the bullshit out of your post.....gee, there's nothing left!
 
HAHAHAHA, holy shit way to tell em'.. but thats true, i do oxy when i have it around, usually in a sitting i'll do 60-120mg and its the best.
 
If you can do 60-120mgs in a sitting your maybe not an addict nor an idiot, but you are sure something. A fiend maybe?

Anyways, to lucke, i have heard one should peel them not to anti-time release but because the skin is not good to snort. any truth?

Having injected OxyContin myself, I can assure you it is an absolute waste and will not give you the immediate rush you desire. It will get you high, quickly. It's not instananeous and it's not a rush, at all. Reguardless of what you do, it is almost a completely insoluable compound. If you could get pure oxycodone, I'm sure it would work great. But it's not going to work well from an OxyContin pill.
 
OXY-madness.... It seems like they'll ban it soon... Medicine should not be abused! (at least openly!!) Why can't people be little more responsible? A drug is for A)Sick people who need it for health reasons B) Responsible and smart drug users who has the brain to use it but not to be on the news..........
Now whats this? Some body makes a cool painkiller , but people can't use it just because some stupid 15year old thinks its candy!.....
NY Times Magazine had 6 pages on OXY this week.. check it
 
yeah I saw the Times article on Sunday and the part that pissed me off the most has to do with the topic of this thread--a kid telling the reporter "all my friends inject Oxys now." And also describing the process as simply 'mixing the pills with water and injecting them'. There wasn't a single mention in the article about the dangers of administering this way. I know that some people feel they must try IVing every drug they get their hands on, but 99% of pills SHOULD NOT BE INJECTED.
They also talked about trying to combat the import of Oxy from Canada/Mexico. Is Oxy even prescribed in Canada? And you can bet all the pills that come in from Mexico are originally from the States anyway. So wtf are they talking about?
More hot air in this article: talk of Purdue Pharma developing an opioid that works powerfully on the analgesic side without producing euphoric feelings. If that ever happens, you can kiss pharmaceutical-grade opiate highs bye-bye, but people have been tweaking this molecule in labs for years trying to do this to no avail.
You can bet that all the attention Oxy is getting will lead to more restrictions on its use, and the trickle-down effect on the informed recreational user will be harsh and unfortunate.
