"I really don't get the oxycontin craze."


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.

I have no idea what a heroin like high is like. Don't believe I care to know.

All I know is that when the anesthetic wore off, the oxycontin had no more affect than tylenol, which does nothing.

I sometimes think those druggies just make the whole thing up because they are screwed in the head to begin with. There's plenty of stories about people ingesting stupid stuff and supposedly getting high from it.

When I was a kid I used to like to make models, but gave it up because the glue made me sick.
Then a few years later I find other kids sniffing it on purpose. What loonies.

My brother once put birdseed in a batch of brownies and the college kids who ate them went around all day acting real stupid. Later, he could never convince them that they had eaten plain brownies with birdseed in them.

I guess some just want to believe.
