I really don't get the oxycontin craze.
I had it prescribed for me after a recent surgery. Didn't do anything, just like tylenol, so I threw it away.

Certainly not worth getting shot over.

I don't get the craze either, but I can tell you how they take it. Oxy has a time release coating on it which slowly releases the medication. What these folks do is remove the coating by sucking on the pill for some time before swallowing it. The end result is a rush of medication that gives a heroin like high. We all know how desperate heroin addicts can get, and no I have never tried it.
