I just want to point out that the Oxy to black market pipeline ended about a decade ago in the US. The pendulum has swung back the other way so hard that doctors are terrified of prescribing even short term scripts. Oxy average street value is now somehow more than $1/MG. A gum wrapper (stanard dose) of H (Fent mix) is like $6-$10 depending on market and qty. People who have lost access to their pain meds and started using H say a dose is the equivalent of like 15 to 20 MG of oxy. It would be more, if it didn't have much shorter legs.
