Oxycontin Cocaine

OxyContin cocaine are two different drugs, the first is the pharmaceutical OxyContin cocaine is the second one which is the well known street drug. OxyContin cocaine is America's new drug threat in that they are both widely available and highly addictive. The brain reacts to both the same, OxyContin cocaine can be snorted or injected together in what is called a "speedball." This OxyContin cocaine combination has both the effect of numbing the body and giving a rush effect that results in an intense euphoric effect. This elusive feeling is sought by abusers of OxyContin cocaine and they will often go to any lengths to get it including crime.

OxyContin is a man-made substitute for opium that is gram for gram more powerful than heroin. Since being approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1995 for treatment of mild to severe pain, OxyContin sales quickly jumped to $1 billion per year and is one of the most widely abused pharmaceutical medications. It is the strongest opioids available and has a built-in time release structure that regulates the dosage. Abusers of OxyContin soon learned that by crushing the pill and snorting or injecting it, the time-release structure could be thwarted and an intense rush, similar to that of morphine or heroin, could be experienced.

Drug abusers at this stage often mix pharmaceuticals, street drugs and alcohol and cocaine has surfaced as a favorite combination coining the term OxyContin cocaine. OxyContin cocaine both increase the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain which controls the feelings of pleasure. Soon however, the brain compensates for increased levels of dopamine and the amount of OxyContin cocaine taken must increase to achieve similar effects of early usage.

Thus the vicious cycle of addiction begins to take it's toll as the OxyContin cocaine abuser becomes obsessed with obtaining more of the drug at the expense of nearly every other aspect of his or her life.
