Haha, I had honestly just wondered where you'd been, Nullific, and then you had to go and do something like this...

And totally crack me up.

I thought it's just be like strong tylenol or something. For the first two days I took 1 every 6 hours and it made me drowsy and relieved of pain :) , but nothing weed-like. I just took 2 and a half with some tea cause I was curious 30 minutes ago and no fuckin joke, I am High now! Not Rating: 5

ya man I'm out of pills. took my last three 2 nights ago, they were 60 mg by the way which I was surprised about. i did run out with a bang so that was cool. that last paragraph in the post 2 above... little intense. so you do cannabis, but you make a statement kinda contradicting the use of it? maybe i'm just high i don't know...

why do i think oxycodone is dangerous?
i was on it!! got hooked, totally legally. Script and every thing. One turned to two, turned to three with a couple of beers within a few days. And then life sucked without it. i craved it.
After just a few days, what killed pain and made u silly isn't even enough to stave the crave.

i was on and off variations of these drugs from 2001-2004... all legally obtained by the docs who were treating my spinal injury.

the manufacturers of these drugs themselve publish how it may deteriorate your hearing and it toxicity to your kidneys.

This thread caught my attention as I was extremely bored and browsing the forum. Several weeks ago SWIM acquired a nice quantity of generic 40mg oxycodone tablets. For the past few weeks SWIM has been dosing between 10mg and 60mg of oxycodone or at least 5mg hydrocodone almost daily, abstaining only a couple days here and there. SWIM recently took a three day break and experienced absolutely no withdrawals. How does one explain such a phenomenon? Was it luck? Genetics? Some knowlegde and a little self control?
Or could it have been the simple fact that for a sizeable percentage of the population it takes several weeks of frequent administration of high doses of opioids, even those named heroin, before any significant symptoms of withdrawal would appear?

So why do people believe that oxycodone is such a highly addictive and toxic substance? Could they be living in some fantastical reality where they've been lied to by their educator's, legislature's and media? Perhaps they've been posting on a message board that condones the recreational usage of marijuana while simultaneously fueling ignorance and intolerance when it comes to other substances yet allows minors to engage in discussions related to topics of a sexually explicit and religious nature meanwhile advertising 'legal budz' smoking alternative scum with the addition of a crappy arcade to make everyone feel better while the pharmaceutical industries shove shitty prescription stimulants and so called antidepressant drugs that actually increase your odds of committing suicide down your throat????

There are two concrete possibilities here. I am either 100% correct or 100% insane.

I've taken 40mg of Oxycontin at one time, and it was very enjoyable. Isn't a weed-like feeling in any way to me, but I was pretty ripped off of it. Can be sitting there, and be able to talk and move and such, then five minutes later, I couldn't do anything. Definately the pain killer that I would want if I had any pain
