I was given an opioid via IV to prep for surgery in my 20s and while that dosage was by design higher than standard Oxycontin prescriptions, people just use more OxyContin to achieve similar effect.
It’s very hard to describe the effect except to say it’s like a form of ecstasy (the feeling, not the drug) that is far more consuming and also more referable than I’d believe, had I not experienced it firsthand.
For years after that five minutes or so of being sky-high I could conjure up the physical sensation and I absolutely craved it.
The Purdues basically weaponized this chemical for profit, knowing full well the human consequences, and they should lose it all.
