Oxycodone is a semisynthetic derivative of opium. This medication has been manufactured in the United States since the late 1930s. As a semisynthetic opium derivative, oxycodone produces effects similar to morphine and codeine.

Oxycodone ingredients are also included in several opiate drugs, including:

• OxyContin
• Tylox
• Percodan
• Percocet

Oxycodone amounts vary from drug to drug, with some drugs producing stronger effects than others. Most of these medications produce slow-acting effects that can relieve pain symptoms for up to four hours or more.

Recreational Practices

Oxycodone street names are used to disguise the sale and use of this drug.

Oxycodone street names typically reference some aspect of each particular drug, such as the effects it produces or the way it is used. While most oxycodone products come in tablet or capsule form, the built-in time-release mechanism prevents users from experiencing the desired “high” effect.

To counteract this mechanism, users crush the pill into powder form and snort, chew, or inject it as a solution. When they use the medication repeatedly, individuals who are addicted to Oxycodone find that they must ingest increasingly larger doses to experience the desired effect. This process accounts for the drug’s high addiction potential.

Oxycodone Street Names

The use of oxycodone street names gives individuals with an addiction a secret language or code that camouflages their activities. It also creates a sense of culture and/or camaraderie among regular users.

By far, OxyContin is the most commonly abused oxycodone drug. Not surprisingly, OxyContin has a litany of oxycodone street names to choose from, including:

• Kickers
• Oxy
• Oxycottons
• Blue
• Hillbilly Heroin
• Killers

Percodan and Percocet also have their own street names, with “Percs” and “Percodoms” being the most commonly used.

Oxycodone Access

There are strict federal regulations surrounding prescription medications, yet these drugs still make it onto the streets. As with any “business” cycle, where there’s a demand, a supply will follow.

Less than reputable doctors, online pharmacies, and “pill mills” or illegally run clinics that actively supply users with prescription drugs offer easy access to oxycodone supplies. Until tighter restrictions are imposed, oxycodone street names and the culture that surrounds them will continue to thrive, placing more and more people at risk.
