Where I live, 80s used to be $20 a year ago. We used to say 80s or babies, referring to 80 mg oxycontin brand pills and 30 mg roxycondone (sp?) pills. My preference was the 30s. The 30s didn't have any coating and I think were instant release/dissolved quickly. So it hit faster.

Honestly, that drug can be used every day under normal circumstances during any time of day which makes it so damn addicting. Pretty soon the high wears off (if you stop upping the dose) and you just start to use it to function. It becomes, in a strange sad way, almost normal.

I was addicted for a year. I kept getting free pills from my friend/co-worker and we would rail those during work just to make life bearable (I constantly fought with my bf after work about work /backstory). I played Zelda high and nauseous, I danced high, I studied for midterms high, I copulated high, etc.

I guess my only redeeming factor (ironically) was that I acknowledged my addictive personality. By doing so, I enjoyed the addiction but started to gradually (over the time period of almost five months!) shave down on my dosage so as not to shock my system, never snorted or ate before 7:00 PM (seriously), and never got greedy (helped me not to OD).

OP: Oxy is serious stuff to shake. The withdrawals (that I did not experience because of my strict tapering off schedule, but that my good friend's army boyfriend is now experiencing) is horrible. He pukes, can't sleep, and shakes uncontrollably at times. Apparently the physical and mental withdrawal from this drug feels like death.

As for the shifty crackhead-like nature that involves stealing and strange behavior, I think that ice abusers are way worse. But that's still like comparing two similar objects. I would advise caution around this person until you can figure him out.

Hope that helps, and I hope he recovers soon.
