Hmmm, I believe Oxycontin is a serious pain medication in pill form that is designed to be be dispersed in the body over the course of 24 hours. I don't think it is generally addictive in this form. However, addicts modify it either by crushing it and shooting it up or smoking it (I think this is what I've heard), and then get the whole effect in one big bang instead of slow and steady. Unfortunately, it is much more harmful to the body that way, as that was obviously not what it was intended for.

So, basically, Rush is treating Oxycontin like crack, huh? Figures.
