Gutter punk kids & NOPD are a joke

yep, it's pretty bad here...and most of them start with prescription painkillers until they find out heroin is cheaper and easier to get

Forgive my ignorance and this question isn't directed at anyone in particular. Antipop's post just happened to make me think about it. Is the high or sensation or whatever derived from painkillers the same as what's achieved through heroin?
