Oxitocyin will fool blondes. The trick is getting them to spray themselves. I tell them it's "Genius Spray." Works every time.
To: WellyP
I think you were given oxycodone for pain, not oxytocin.

Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same, chemically. OxyContin is just a longer, extended release formulation of the medicine.
Where people used to get into ‘trouble’ was when they altered the long acting OxyContin to release all of the medication rapidly. Typically through crushing/dissolving and then ingesting. They have recently put a new formulation on the market that makes it VERY difficult to defeat the time release of the medicine. Most drug abusers now likely find them to be FAR less ‘desirable’.

Nope. Not the same.
Oxytocin is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin has the distinction of being the very first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized biochemically, by Vincent du Vigneaud et al. in 1953.[1]
Oxytocin is best known for its roles in female reproduction.
Oxycodone (OxyContin and other brand names) is an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine. It was developed in 1916 in Germany, as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids in an attempt to improve on the existing opioids: morphine, diacetylmorphine (heroin), and codeine.[1]
Oxycodone oral medications are generally prescribed for the relief of moderate to severe pain.
