82. I'm not too sure about that... all I've ever seen is the patches, injection ready liquid & lolipops

I reckon if there's a will, there's a way, though. Hell, I've seen someone put a roxicodone 30mg pill on a piece of foil, heat it underneath with a lighter and suck the smoke through a straw, just like some people do meth. I have no desire to try it, and have stated many times that I don't even know how people get "high" on pain killers, as all they do to me is make me stop hurting. I knew one girl who would snort an oxycodone, or hydrocodone, and get up and clean the whole house! She said it gave her energy. I guess it affects you differently if you're not in pain??

I just take my meds as directed. I'm on some very powerful opioids, and I sure as hell don't want to be another statistic in the "Prescription Drug Overdose" or "Accidental Overdose" column in the Medical Examiners files.

I've got a one way ticket on this rollercoaster ride through life. I've had my share of 'white knuckle moments' and loopty-loops, but I plan on riding it all the way to the end. I have no plans of jumpimg off early. After everything I've been through, I want to hang around and see what happens next!

Peace,

Ghost
