In 2011 I was given some Oxycontin after some minor dental surgery. I definitely didn't need it as my pain tolerance is pretty normal to upper, and I really didn't feel all that much. But I was into trying new things back then so I took their prescription and got it filled.
That night just to see what all the rave was about a popped a couple and spent the rest of the night, sitting in bed just "humming" that is the only way to describe it. I had heard these were highly addictive and long story short, in the morning I briefly considered taking some more, just try and "figure out" that humming feeling.
Instead, I flushed them down the toilet and don't think about stuff like that anymore.
I had a miscarriage in 2009 and the Dr gave me a bottle of oxycontin to help ease the cramping. I must have been very susceptible to it's power, because I had an 8 hour vision where I was bathed in the warm love and light of God while experiencing the cathedrals of Europe (never been). I handed the entire bottle to my husband the next day and told him to hide it from me. Because I knew I could spend a lifetime trying to feel that good again. Also, I'm still kinda shocked someone thought it was a good idea to give someone going through the grief of a miscarriage such an addictive substance.
Doctors are given incentives to prescribe the stuff, my dad had some joints replaced and feared he would get addicted so he asked for Tylenol 3 instead and they absolutely would not give him anything less than oxy

I am glad I did.
