I have heard $20/pill for Perc, but this was a couple years ago, do not quote me on it.
Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
Based upon my one personal experience, I believe Oxy is one of those drugs that should simply never leave the hospital. I had back surgery about 6 years ago. They gave me a prescription for Oxy. Went and got it filled and it was this giant bottle! The first night home I took one tablet, as prescribed. Two things occurred. First, every ounce of pain disappeared. But the crazy delirium like state that I fell into was surreal. I never took another.
I always joke with my wife that we should have saved that bottle as part of our retirement portfolio. I wonder what the "street value" was.

Balderdash. My dentist won't prescribe narcotics anymore. She starts you with ibuprofen and ketolorac. If you still have pain they work with you before going the narcotic route.

Ditto. After I had my wisdom teeth out they prescribed Vicodin. I took one when I got home well after the anesthesia had worn off. The room spun for six hours and I dumped the rest down the toilet. I didn't feel great. I felt like sh_t for six hours. Stuck with something like 800 mg ibuprofen.
If that's what high is, I want nothing to do with it.

Consider yourself lucky. Vicodin makes me feel so good it's scary. Whatever it does to my brain my brain says, "DO IT AGAIN!"

Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
I had a college housemate that had Perc after a shoulder surgery. Months later he found the bottle with one remaining pill. He was like a kid on Christmas morning, super excited. Next thing I know he hauled out a mirror and razor blade, chopped it up, snorted it, and then headed off to class (by driving a mile or two from our house to on-campus parking).
I got a Rx of Perc filled after I got snipped. I filled it because I had no idea how much paid I'd be in later. Never took a single pill. Too bad that old housemate lives out of state, I could have made some money I guess.

Not sure what it was but now it's roughly a buck a milligram.

Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
Had my knee scoped a couple of weeks ago. In the recovery room, a nurse came with an Oxy. I didn't request it, and the pain didn't seem too bad at the time. But I obediently took it, because I was still groggy and I thought the pain might get worse as the anesthesia wore off. On the way home I got the worst nausea ever. Desperately wanted to barf, but couldn't since I hadn't had anything to eat for about 20 hours. They gave me a prescription for more Oxy and for an anti-nausea medication. The prescription for Oxy says "take on a full stomach". I got the anti-nausea medication, and felt fine in about 10 minutes. I did not fill the prescription for Oxy (thanks for the reminder to shred it).
I consider it ironic that I got two prescriptions for my surgery -- one that I'm convinced I didn't need, and the other to counteract the side effects of taking the medication that I didn't need to take. I also consider it ironic that it was "pushed" on me by a medical professional and that she encouraged me to take it in a way that it shouldn't be taken (on an empty stomach).
Regarding the street value, there's another irony. It's really cheap. It doesn't even cost my $10 copay.
As the result of several day surgeries, my wife had a fair amount of Oxy. I took it to the last "get rid of unneeded drugs" collection at the local police station. I was paranoid that I'd be mugged on the way in. (It's not recommended that you dump medication down the drain).

I've never taken Oxy but if I don't eat a full meal before taking Percocet I become critically nauseous within half an hour, and when it happens it's sudden. I took a Percocet before a car ride once and the time between first feeling nauseous and throwing up was seconds -- not enough to pull over and barely enough to roll down my window. Very scary on the Beltway (and I suspect I ruined several fellow commuters' days).

Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
The nausea is common with opioids, particularly for the "uninitiated" and even more so for those non-habitual users who take a large(er) dose.
Once your body becomes accustomed to the drug the nausea subsides and the physical effects you are left with are that faint body buzz and "The Float."
And yeah, heroin has really started to move into and expand in demographics that it didn't previously occupy, thanks largely to the prevalence of prescription painkiller abuse and recent efforts to make those substances harder and/or more expensive to obtain.
It's pretty messed up that people get into abusing a legal, prescription drug and then migrate to the illegal drug because it is often easier and cheaper to get hold of.
As for the title of this thread, I always thought cocaine was God's way of showing you what it feels like to be God....for about 20 minutes.

Whatever it was I have zero problem imagining how people get addicted to it. It feels like an oasis in the desert. If I ever get an incurable painful disease I want to go out on an opiate cloud.

Oxycontin is time release, lasts 12 hrs, junkies grind it up and snort it, shoot it whatever. Imagine what that does. They gave me one pre shoulder surgery, I felt nothing for 12 hrs, once 12 hours was over my shoulder hurt big time.

It's interesting that some people puke and hate the experience. For me I loved painkillers but am glad I didn't have an infinite supply
I remember watching a Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (HBO) episode where it talked about NFL players using marijuana to self medicate concussions/pain and they estimated that something like 60% of players use it. A lot of them said they had a similar experience with painkillers and just couldn't take them and be even remotely functional.

Based on anecdotal evidence I'd say yes.

I'm guessing that for physical pain, you just don't care/pay attention to it anymore. As far as "comfort" (certain illnesses, etc), then it would legit qualify for it....
Dunno. Only tried it once or twice back in my Haight-Ashbury days in college. Didn't like it.

Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
. As for pain it's not gonna do nearly as much for physical pain as opiates and for the most part they do what they're intended when prescribed responsibly. Certain types of marijuana produce intense body highs so it'd probably be helpful for pain treatment on some level but it's not nearly as intense as what opiates do.
There is a Dr. who's done a study with mice where they prevent brain damage with a cannabonoid similar to marijuana's active ingredient.
Re: Drugs Thread I: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you are making too much money.”
I've never had a concussion so I can't really opine on whether it'd help for that. I can tell you that it definitely helps with hangovers/nausea though
