How are they used?
Heroin and Oxycontin are used in mostly the
same ways. Both substances reportedly are
administered by injection, smoking, or snorting.
When OxyContin is used in these ways its time
release is compromised and the drug becomes
dangerously powerful along side with Heroin.
How is heroin used?
Answer: Heroin is usually injected, sniffed/snorted, or
smoked. Typically, a heroin abuser may inject up to four
times a day. Intravenous injection provides the greatest
intensity and most rapid onset of euphoria (7 to 8 seconds),
while intramuscular injection produces a relatively slow
onset of euphoria (5 to 8 minutes).
When heroin is sniffed or smoked, peak effects are usually
felt within 10 to 15 minutes. Although smoking and sniffing
heroin do not produce a "rush" as quickly or as intensely as
intravenous injection, NIDA researchers have confirmed that
all three forms of heroin administration are addictive.
•
Stage I: Six to fourteen hours after last dose: Drug craving, anxiety, irritability,
perspiration, and mild to moderate dysphoria.
•Stage II: Fourteen to eighteen hours after last dose: Yawning, heavy perspiration, mild
depression lacrimation, crying, running nose, dysphoria, also intensification of the above
symptoms. "yen sleep" (a waking trance-like state)[clarification needed]
•Stage III: Sixteen to twenty-four hours after last dose: Rhinorrhea (runny nose) and
increase in other of the above, dilated pupils, piloerection (goose bumps), muscle
twitches, hot flashes, cold flashes, aching bones and muscles, loss of appetite and the
beginning of intestinal cramping.
•Stage IV: Twenty-four to thirty-six hours after last dose: Increase in all of the above
including severe cramping and involuntary leg movements ("kicking the habit"), loose
stool, insomnia, elevation of blood pressure, moderate elevation in body temperature,
increase in frequency of breathing and tidal volume, tachycardia (elevated pulse),
restlessness, nausea
•Stage V: Thirty-six to seventy-two hours after last dose: Increase in the above, fetal
position, vomiting, free and frequent liquid diarrhea, which sometimes can accelerate the
time of passage of food from mouth to out of system to an hour or less, involuntary
ejaculation,[citation needed] which is often painful, saturation of bedding materials with bodily
fluids, weight loss of two to five kilos per 24 hours, increased white cell count and other
blood changes.
•Stage VI: After completion of above: Recovery of appetite ("the chucks"), and normal
bowel function, beginning of transition to post-acute and chronic symptoms that are
mainly psychological but that may also include increased sensitivity to pain,
hypertension, colitis or other gastrointestinal afflictions related to motility, and problems
with weight control in either direction.

How Is Cocaine Used?
Answer: The principal routes of cocaine administration are oral, intranasal,
intravenous, and inhalation. The slang terms for these routes are, respectively,
"chewing," "snorting," "mainlining," "injecting," and "smoking" (including freebase
and crack cocaine).
Snorting is the process of inhaling cocaine powder through the nostrils, where it is
absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Injecting releases the drug
directly into the bloodstream, and heightens the intensity of its effects.
Smoking involves the inhalation of cocaine vapor or smoke into the lungs, where
absorption into the bloodstream is as rapid as by injection. The drug can also be
rubbed onto mucous tissues. Some users combine cocaine powder or crack with
heroin in a "speedball."
Cocaine use ranges from occasional use to repeated or compulsive use, with a variety
of patterns between these extremes. There is no safe way to use cocaine. Any route
of administration can lead to absorption of toxic amounts of cocaine, leading to acute
cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies that could result in sudden death.
Repeated cocaine use by any route of administration can produce addiction and
other adverse health consequences.
