I remember when the oxycontin drug rep first brought literature around for OCs. He said you can't crush and snort the drug, because the crystalline matrix of the compound will cause instant nasal abcesses. You can't crush it up and shoot it up, because it will cause abcesses in the tissue. It was supposed to be the best new pain management drug EVER! In the emergency room I work in, we get 8-15 people a day wanting detox from it, and even more drug seekers wanting it.
A few weeks ago, we had an atypical junkie come in: a 68 year-old white female, who was shooting up with 100-200mg a day, and wanted detox because her doctor quit writing it for her. Hell, she looked like a typical grandmother. Oxys are worse than smack, because you can obtain them legally. I know of patients suffering from terminal cancer selling half of their Oxys a month, trying to get their family money. It's some bad shit, my brothers.
