The actual substance is Oxycodone for Oxycontin, not that it really matters since it it still has the same risks, just thought I'd needlessly clear that up.
Also, yes, painkillers are a lot of fun, unfortunately too much fun for me. I loved opioids so much I was about to shoot heroin if I hadn't overdosed on Ativan(a CNS depressant) the day before. I don't want this to discourage others from trying oxycodone, hydrocodone, or codeine if they are curious. I just happen to be predisposed to addiction through my genetics and therefore cannot use any substance in moderation.
Oxycodone is derived from codeine, same as hydrocodone. Their chemical make up varies only slightly. All are demethylated in the same way and interact with receptors in the brain in a similar fashion.

Pretty much this.
You've only been presented with one side of an argument. And while I agree that this is sometimes the case, that's only with harder drugs.
Things like weed, if you actually research it from reliable sources, has almost none of these things.
If you look at the people on this forum who have taken/take drugs (except Wrabies because he really needs to lay off it a bit) are not 'on the streets shooting up drugs in an old building'
Don't get it twisted you can get addicted to weed as easily as anything else. Just because there are no immediate health impacts from smoking it doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. And any long term heavy weed smoker will tell you when you go cold turkey, the first weeks sleep is a bitch ;)
It's about knowing who's in control and being able to handle your shit.
