weird thing about OCs... any answer??

[Prepster]

I'm pretty much an opiod virgin... but I've noticed that I can crush up and swallow about 60mg of Oxycontin on an empty stomach, and I get very little. But if I snort anywhere between 15 and 20mg I am completely out of it.
Does anyone know why this could be?

If your swallowing the pill whole, that could be your answer. OCs are time released, when you eat them whole they release a little bit of drug over a long period of time.
When you crush the pill, it breaks the time release and it hits you all at once.

I did crush them up.

thats wierd, because from a lot of people, myself included, eating the pill crushed up, and capsuled, or parachuted, provides a better, stronger high than snorting.

I guess I'm just weird.

You're not weird.
You're just not the average idiot that refuses to accept the fact that a doctor can prescribe drugs just as good or better than street drugs and conditions themself to believe the only way to get high on them is to snort them.
You get more of a high from taking OxyContin orally than snorting it on a mg to mg basis. The ratio would be something like 20mgs snorted only feels like 15mgs eaten.

I'm not an idiot, and if you took the time to read my post you'd see that I was asking why this would happen. As I said, I took 60mg and felt less than 20mg snorted. I was asking if there might be a medical or metabolism-related reason.
You're the type of personality that ruins this board.

did you do dose research before you just decided to injest 40mg? This is how people die, they just jump in and 'snort some' and end up dead.Just be carefull people, and get a PDR

Just a question
like for an opiate virgin
how small a dose snorted/crushed and eaten would be enough to od?
im thinking of trying 15mg tonight
is this safe?

Oral gives a greater high then nasally? Sorry, I can rail 20mg OC and get a nice warmth, but I have to eat almost 3 times as much to catch any buzz .. sorry, I can't explain your effects but I have to argue with the comment that oral oxy pakcs more punch..
