A guy I've known almost my whole life recently robbed a Walgreen's with a fake gun and stole $4,000 worth of OxyContin. I was in Cub Scouts with him, I went to grade school, middle school, and high school with him, and he was my roommate. It blows my fucking mind that he could do this. I haven't talked to him for six months or so, and I knew he was having some drug problems, but "armed" robbery is just not something I thought he was capable of.
He turned himself in after his parents saw him on the news and he's in jail right now, waiting for his court date. If he's real unlucky, he'll probably get prison for 5 years and 7 months. He's the kind of guy that prison would fuck. If he's lucky, I guess maybe he'll get rehab.
It won't stop blowing my mind that he did this. It's totally unbeleivable.

For OxyContin? That's pretty low on the crazy addiction scale :o

It's...still mindblowing, regardless. I'm sorry, man.
Wow. Seriously?
|
It's pretty much a synthetic heroin and addictive as fuck.

I don't even know if it was because he was addicted (though I'm sure that was a factor) -- I think it was more so he could sell it. His parents had just kicked him out and he had no where to go and no money. I hope they feel fucking terrible. Send your kid to rehab before you kick him out.
And yeah, oxycodone and heroin are basically interchangeable.

Oh my bad then. That's crazy
I took some painkillers for a while, a little bit longer than my pain, but it was hydrocodone, I don't know if that's strong. I felt a little sick after I stopped (ran out) but never felt "addicted"
OxyContin must be some pretty strong shit then

Holy shit. Really makes you think what happens to people when you graduate school.
|
wow That really sux, im sorry for the guy.
|
Wow... that's unfortunate. I guess you never really know someone...
|
What does OxyContin do, exactly?
Wikipedia failed me

You feel euphoric, like super weed or something. One of the worst parts about this is that I was doing drugs with him for more than a year... I was there the first time he smoked weed, did coke, did opiates.

I have a friend whos stealing morphine from his mom. At first he was just giving them to his friend (he said he gave about ~60) in total, but now hes broke hes trying to sell them.
Not as intense as robbing a store but still pretty bad. I just learnt all this the other day btw

I foresee someone making a thread on how to get it solely by this comment.
In regards to your friend thou, kinda of sucks. People's morals and beliefs do change as they mature thou (especially under his condition). Good luck to him in court. Do you plan on showing up to his court appearance?

Hard core opioid drugs like oxycodone are really really dangerous. They are so addictive... and so hard to stop. Withdrawal is like hell. I feel really bad for your friend.

Painkillers are fucking awesome. They made my life tolerable when I worked at the factory.
|
oh wow
|
Painkillers suck. Nausea and itchy noses for the loss.
OC is garbage. My buddy plugged like 3 pills once and tried to kill his mom. I hate that stuff.
