Yes, therapeutic doses such as 10-20 mg of oxycodone a day will probably not. However, heavy drugs chronicly used such as heroin injected, can create bacteria in your blood, building up in your heart that can lead to your brain. Also, drugs like Loperamide (immodium) are opiates, they do not get you high because they do not cross the Blood Brain Barrier, or BBB. Large doses, say 20 pills of 2 mg loperamide to 100+ will cross the BBB, who knows what can go with it.. This can block ports in your brain causing stroke. The scary part about strokes is that you can have one without even realizing it.. So get an MRI once a day! (since Obama is paying the bill) :)
