I heard a rumor that cracking a 5mg percocet in half actually slows its release. Any truth to this?

None, whatsoever.

i cant be sure what i hear anymore, but i believe that the more surface area, the longer it takes, so yeah.

By your understanding the oposite would be true.....

actually breaking it half increases the surface area, cause its very slightly broken up
and increasing the surface area speeds up any reaction.

think about it logically.

a pill is broken down by enzymes from the outside in. therefore, more surface area means more surface exposed to be reacted upon.

so, for the last time, more surface area = faster absorbtion.

This thread is a perfect example of how stupid people can be.

This.

well if you break it, and only take half.. It would be similar to a extended release being you get less,

besides that

The GREATER the surface area, the FASTER the reaction.

BREAKING the pills (Increasing the surface area) Will SPEED UP the release of the chemicals inside of them.

This seems to be a bullshit claim.

You've got it backwards. And only VERY slightly. I have a bag of 25 (23 now) 5/325 of oxycodone. And am thinking of crushing it up into powerd and putting it in a drink? BAd idea?

well oxy doesnt dissolve in water so that powder at the bottom of the glass is the oxy and you just drank the APAP and some filler

Just stop talking.

oh yeah i mixed it up other way around oxy dissolves APAP doesnt sorry.

3 words: cold water extraction. Easy as fuck and you have enough to make it worth it.

besides just being a smaller mass. Why bother? So you canlots without downing a ridiculous number of pills or something?

Look up acetaminophen and liver damage. Then do the math, 23 * 325.

Edit: Thought he said 5/500.

Because high doses of APAP can really hurt your liver. Not to mention make you sick as a dog for a couple days.
