"From what I understand it gives about the same buzz as heroin." Oxycodone, the active ingredient in Oxycontin, is almost identical to codeine. Which means it is an opiate just like heroin. What makes Oxycontin special is that it is time release, so it is available in much larger doses than stuff like Demerol. The difference is quite large, stuff like Demerol maxes about 30 milligrams, while Oxycontin goes all the way to 160 mg. It is supposed to have a lower chance of abuse because instead of getting a peak right after you take it that declines until you take your next pill, it releases a steady dose over a period of time. Unless you crush the tablet, in which case it releases all of its opiate goodness all in one dose. Rush allegedly was taking 30 of these little beauties a day. He is lucky he didn't die. FWIW, until recently, Florida had a mandatory sentence for illegal possession of Oxycontin of 25 years. Which, I am sure, Rush wasn't interested in.
