DRUGS IN FORENSICS ( DRUG ABUSE )

Like many drugs, Oxycontin can become addictive and because many people have become addicted, many people have shown and acted on the disapproval of the drug. The reason people become addicted to this drug is because of the sensation of relief and immediate high that occurs after taking it. Oxycontin is made to numb the sensation or feeling of pain and help lighten the mood of the user. When taken it in an illegal form such as a powdered form or liquidized form to  snort and shoot into the bloodstream the reaction from the drug becomes faster which means the relief and high becomes quicker than taking it in its regular form or almost immediate. After repeated usage of the drug the high doesn’t feel the same, which keeps the users buying and wanting more because they want to feel the same high they retrieved from the drug their first time using.
