Perhaps my understanding is wrong, but watching the documentary ‘ crime of the century’ and one of the experts on screen said oxycodone has effects indistinguishable from Heroin.
When i think of a heroin high i think of people spaced out, or manic before falling asleep.
Why did oxycontin not give users that sort of ‘high’ if its effects are indistinguishable from heroin?

Simple answer is beacuse heroin is injected straight into the blood stream, and oxy tabs are swallowed (generally). A high concentration of a drug in the bloodstream is what brings about it’s effect. Absorbing drugs from a tablet swallowed creates a situation with a much smaller peak concentration in the blood over a longer period of time, and as such the experienced effects are much less than IV heroin.
