Facts
Of the various strengths of OxyContin, the most commonly abused and diverted strength is the 40 mg tablets, although all strengths (10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg.) have been encountered. If someone is arrested for drunk driving, he or she may face more than just a DUI charge. Depending on the state laws, a suspect could face an additional charge for a high BAC. If the suspect was also involved in a car accident or a child was in the car, there could be charges of reckless driving or child endangerment. After an arrest, the suspect will probably be released on bail with some sort of temporary license, but practices differ depending on the state and the particular incident. If you or someone you know has been charged with DUI, consult an attorney who specializes in DUI cases. Heroin is often mixed with sugar, starch, quinine, and sometimes, strychnine or other poisons, adding other potential dangers. Because of the unknown strength and actual contents of the heroin they are taking, users are at a great risk of overdose and death. Endogenous opioides are naturally occurring substances (mostly proteins) in the body that interact with opioid-receptors and they are responsible for a morphine-like activity. |
