Facts

OxyContin abuse is spreading for a variety of reasons. First, the elevated opiate dosage makes it highly addictive. Second, in contrast to drugs such as cocaine or heroin that can be laced with other substances, with OxyContin you know how much of the drug you are getting. Since the dosage is consistent, it delivers a dependable high. Finally, OxyContin is covered by most health insurance plans, so it is significantly cheaper than street drugs.
Twenty one percent of workers reported being injured or put in danger, having to re-do work or to cover for a co-worker or needing to work harder due to others’ drinking.
Using prescription drugs without a doctor's approval (non-medical use) could lead to serious health problems. Data from the 2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health show the second most common type of illegal drug use after marijuana is the non-medical use of prescription drugs. And it's not just adults that are abusing these drugs. Another recent survey revealed that 10.5 percent of 12th-graders reported using Vicodin® (the brand name of the pain reliever hydrocodone) without a prescription in the 12 months prior to the survey and 4.5 percent said they had used OxyContin® (the brand name of the pain reliever oxycodone) in that time period.
Anyone convicted of transporting or dealing in dextroamphetamine in the United States faces up to twenty years in prison and a hefty fine for a first offense. Repeat offenders face even stiffer penalties. In the United Kingdom, amphetamines are designated a class B drug under the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act. Possession carries a penalty of imprisonment for three months to five years, and dealing carries a sentence of six months to fourteen years, along with a possible fine.
