Oxycontin "New Pill Harder To Abuse" Article printed in Florida Newspaper

This was printed in the Miami Herald on 9/25/2009

Federal health advisors on Thursday recommended approval for a new version of the painkiller Oxycontin that is designed to be harder to abuse.
A food and drug administration panel of experts voted 14-4 in favor of the reformulated Oxycontin from Purdue Pharmaceuticals. However, the same experts recommended the company be required to conduct a follow-up study to track patients taking the drug over the long term. The FDA is not required to follow the groups advice, though it usually does.
Oxycontin, the nation's top-selling prescription painkiller last year with sales of more than $2 billion, was hailed as a breakthrough treatment for severe chronic pain when it was introduced in 1996. A time-release version of the narcotic oxycodone, it was designed for use over 12 hours to keep a constant amount of the painkiller in the bodies of seriously ill patients.
However, drug abusers quickly discovered they could get a heroin-like high by crushing the pills and snorting or injecting the entire dose at once.
The new pill uses a plastic-like coating, which is designed to make the drug harder to crush and snort or inject. However, packaging for the drug will not make any claims about the pill's tamper resistance.
A 2007 federal survey found that 5.2 million people in the U.S reported using prescription pain drugs inappropriately.
The FDA has made a number of public service advisories on the problem with little success, and more recently started pressuring companies to make pain relievers more difficult to abuse.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. I copied the article word for word.

 

as long as the time release matrix is in the pill, it can be defeated by crushing, they will never come up with something abuse proof, i dont tink, maybe snort/inject proof, u can alwasy chew it and be high for longer.

 

Even time released, take an extra pill and you'll get higher for longer. It's a nice smooth feeling to take them whole, but takes a long time. No onset rush, but it's still pretty feckin sweet!

 

snorting plastic sounds like zero fun

 

Fuck em, you can just crush or cut off the plastic.

 

seems like a waisted effort

 

I dont know man they are getting pretty good at it. Take Opana for example. Can only snort it not smoke or slam. I would think the makers wouldnt actually want to make the drug harder to abuse cause I would think most of their business comes from inappropriate use dont you think?

 

They can never fool us!!!!!! muahahahahaha!!!!!!!

jk......

 

where theres a will theres a way

 

I've had these a few times, we called em generic pieces of shit, not even worth 20$ a 80 and ppl still tried to charge 40$ a piece....You can snort them but they will gel up in your nose (not fun) if your quick enough you can either get a shot or trick yourself in believing u gotta shot. I would rather eat some percs.

 

What pill would you/could you ever smoke?

Ridiculous shit is ridiculous.

 

Morphine to Heroin conversion - If you wish to do this synth from codiene, then see the second post of this thread and then start where appropriate.

If you have ever tried to inject the new time released opiate pills like MS contin or OxyContin you probably know that its damn near impossible to get more than usually 25 % using just plain old water and sometimes you cant get any. So if you would like to get the dope free of all the gack in the pills this procedure should work. Using this procedure will work for pretty much all the problematic shit in most pills, like hydroxypropyl and methyl cellulose, talc, ethylene glycol etc etc. Once again this procedure is for MS CONTIN, and other time release opiate pills only. If you have morphine sulphate, all you need to do is get rid of the sulphate, that procedure is listed below.
So heres a step by step easy as shit way.


Supplies:
* Mineral spirits or varsol
* Toluene or Chloroform
* Concentrated Ammonia or some other base
* Muriatic Acid or some other acid
* Pyrex bowl
* Porcelain bowl
* 60 mL gardening syringe
* Glasses
* Graduated measuring cup
* Paper coffee filters
* hydrion pH papers
* Heat source - If you want to do it professionally, then use a labratory heating element device listed in the elemental scientific catalogue. Right next to the magnetic stirring devices, which you might want as well. both items will cost you a total of $300. Otherwise this works as well -(outside with one of those camping stoves with an electric element would be the best, But if you must do it indoors and use your oven you better turn on the over head fan and pull a stool up next to your stove and be ready with the lid to the bowl just incase it flashes.)

All of this stuff can be bought at hardware and gardening stores but if you can't manage to find Toluene because youre from the USA buy it from [Edit: a place]. Muriatic would be the best but if you cant get it other stuff like citric or acetic will work too. The preferred base would be concentrated Ammonia but if you cant get that household ammonia will work, Caustic lime or soda or potash will also work.

1- Remove the pill coating from your 20 pills with a piece of tissue paper dampened with acetone, if you dont have acetone laying around your crib just use water.

2-Crush up your 20 pills with shells removed and then place the powder in the pyrex casserole bowl. Make up a 50 mL solution of distilled water that is slighly acidic around pH 5 or 6. Add the Acidic Water to the powder and let them soak with no heat.

3-Make up a solution (150 mL) of 80% mineral spirits and 20% toluene or the substitutions of the two. Add this solution to the Acidic water and stir vigirously for a few minutes.
Not your usual food in this oven today!

4-Be precise - use a themometer to moniter the inside temps. The temps stated on the dial do not heat the oven to the temperature listen on the dial. Turn the stove up to about 50 degrees celcius and leave it for ten minutes now turn it up to 80 degrees celcius and leave it for an additional 10 or fifteen minuites. During this time period stir the solution ever few minutes. Now tilt the bowl up and suck up with your syringe the entire 50 mL water solution (which is the bottom layer) and even 10 ml (in a seperate action) of the Nonpolar layer. Squirt out the Water layer into a clean pocelain bowl that can be heated on the stove, MAKE SURE you dont get any of the non polar into it.

5-Add an additional 50 mL of acidic water to the pyrex bowl and do exactly the same thing as you did with the previous 50 mL. You're done with the non polar so you can put it away. Once you have the 100 mL of the morphine/water solution in the porcelain bowl put it on the stove and heat to 90 degrees celcius for 5 minutes. (Around halfway between low and the next notch up before medium on your stove) You should really use a labratory heating element. Now while its still piping hot pour it into a clean glass and funnel cup with cotton stuffed in the spout of the funnel. Pour in an extra 5 ml through the funnel to get an morphine thats trapped.

6- Add Ammonia to the solution drop by drop until you hit a pH of 9.1. One you hit the 9.1 put the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes stir it up then put it in the refridgerator for another 15 minutes. now pour the stuff into a funnel with 3 coffe filters in it, make sure to wet the filters with cold water before you pour in the mix. Once its filtered you will get the morphine freebase, if you wanna inject it as it is just mix it with some vinegar or dry it out and cook it with Acetic anhydride. Edit: [This is not a good idea! Injecting an unknown quantity of acid, probably fairly concentrated, is a very bad idea! robo] So theres a walkthrough step by step, its not so bad, plus its better than wasting dope by trying to make it injectable with just water. Once you have this base cooking up heroin is even easier than this extraction. BTW this extraction on average yields about 95 percent of the total morphine from the pills.

For the heroin conversion you have to get morphine freebase. If you have morphine in a salt form (morphine sulpahte) just simply add enough water to your Morphine salt for it all to dissolve, then add Ammonia drop by drop until you get around pH of 9. Once you hit that ph just throw the solution in the refrigerator for awhile and then filter, once filtered you can clean it of any traces of the salt by spraying it with small portions of clean water.

Now, Converting your Morphine into street quality Heroin (diacetylmorphine)

Procedure:
First, place some of your converted morphine into a metal spoon and add 2 X the weight acetic anhydride (so 1 gram of M to 2 grams of AA) and then cover with a piece of aluminum foil and bake in the oven at around 100 degrees Celsius, for at least 1 hour (preferrably 6). Then uncover and turn the oven off. Either let the AA evaporate by itself Edit [Not likely, it will pull water out of the air and make glacial acetic acid], or you can place the spoon on the heating element (burner) on your stove 2 distill off the AA, it boils at 140 degrees C, if you do that make sure you leave a little bit of AA in the spoon and let that little bit evaporate at room temp, cause you dont want to burn the heroin. Then place the remaining substance in the refrigerator. When the substance is cold, you can move it to a burner (torch lighter) and just heat till you think its at about at least 80 degree's and sniff a couple inches above it. It shouldnt sting your nose, if it does just heat it lightly some more until the smell goes away. Then scrape the hard, dry heroin off the spoon with another spoon, and place it under a one dollar bill. Then using your lighter rub back and forth over the dollar bill, and crush your brittle heroin.Voila! Now the final product is street quality heroin. Ready to either be taken or sold.

1- Heroin baking in the oven
2- Heroin placed on the stovetop after baking
3- Heroin placed on the stove element set at (around medium low, to low)
4- Heroin almost done roughly two minutes left

Hold the dollar bill to the surface with your left hand, and rub the lighter against the bill with your right hand. You need to do this in order to crush the Heroin into injectable powder....

 

the co. that makes oxy already had a time release morphine. The ms contin is made by same co. they just saw a way to make money .Sad
