Pharmaceuticals Worth Scoring

Getting high by using legitimate medicine has become as easy as obtaining traditionally illicit drugs. Prescription drugs are widely available and people commonly use them. The potential for abuse and addiction parallels the increasing use of prescription drugs.

Xanax

Doctors prescribe Xanax for panic disorders, anxiety attacks and anxiety caused by depression. The generic Alprazolam is a fast-acting drug of the benzodiazepine class, popular among individuals seeking a means to reduce stress. Sometimes people crush or insufflate Xanax in pill form. When a person insufflates, or crushes, the pill into a powder to snort it, the body rapidly absorbs Xanax, imbuing a relaxed and sedated affair.
Codeine is a narcotic pain medicine found in prescription cough syrups. Popularized by hip-hop culture, "purple drank" is a recreational concoction of cough syrup mixed with lemon-lime sodas and produces a euphoric, relaxing high. Codeine also exists in pill form under the brand name Tylenol 1-4.
Doctors prescribe Adderall to treat patients with attention deficit disorders. An amphetamine, Adderall provides relief to easily distracted, overly emotional or highly impulsive patients. Popular with high school and college kids, Adderall increases concentration and focus when cramming for exams while producing a stimulating and energetic mindset.

Oxycontin

The generic oxycodone treats cancer and chronic pain and when orally ingested provides patients with pain relief. Also branded as Percocet with acetaminophen, people can abuse this pill is by chewing, insufflation or injection. These methods give users a euphoric narcotic bliss unmatched in the narcotic world, until recently. Producers of Oxycontin now make the drug with a formula that is harder to abuse, but opiate users have sought out other derivatives of oxycodone to satisfy cravings.
Opana, generic oxymorphone is a group of narcotic painkillers similar to morphine.
Doctors prescribe Opana to treat moderate to severe pain. Opana seems destined to dethrone Oxycontin as the primary narcotic of choice as Oxycontin becomes less user friendly. When consumed by insufflation, the euphoric capacity of Opana surpasses oxycodone and possibly that of heroin.
