First created for cancer and other terminal patients, Oxycodone’s use began to spread to individuals with back pains, hip replacements, and chronic pain disorders. It’s proliferation and leap into the black market exploded in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and is now one of the most trafficked substances today.
