It is called this due to the amount of use in Rural areas.. It was easier to get in these areas than real heroin and having similar qualities it is more abused in rural than heroin (somewhat) Also since oxy is an opiate, it can be considered close to heroin (it;s deffinatly rdiculously addictive).

the body metabolises heroin and Oxycontin in different ways. On a standard drug panel test it will light up for opiates if you have taken them, but if you take a complex blood test then they can distinguish which drug you have taken because heroin gets metabolised and leaves one metabolised form of heroin than Oxycontin does not when metabolised.
Are Oxycontin withdrawels worst than herion withdrawels. Can you get off Oxycontin by snorting herion for a week then try to get off the herion ultimately beating both?
Oxycontin and Heroin withdrawals are very similar..........Opiates are opiates...Your question works in theory, but not in real life....The only way that is possible to beat the Oxycontin the way you describe is to use Methadone for 3 to 4 days after stopping the Oxycontin............No more. Do not become addicted to Methadone, it is ten times worse than Heroin or Oxycontin withdrawals when you quit
Why is heroin proved to be more effective than morphine and codeine?
Heroin is in its pure state and bonds to opiate receptors in the brain far better than morphine and codeine. Codeine is a derivative of opium where as heroin is actual opium. Codeine and Morphine are broken down and made relatively safe by pharmaceutical companies, where as heroin is made to be strong, without proper dosing. They both (codeine, morphine) bond differently than heroin and to less receptors in the brain, making them less effective, as well as addictive. Both are still very addictive, beware.

What drug lead up heroin?
Usually Vicodin or other painkillers such as Oxycontin, Percocets, or Lortabs. Painkillers and Heroin are all opiates so they produce similar effects, only Heroin is incredibly more intense. People will generally start off on Vicodin, and enjoy how they feel, they try to achieve that same high but they can't, and their tolerance starts building up. Soon enough they are able to take doses of Oxycontin that would have killed them before they started. But once they have that addiction formed they don't want to not be high, and since it is very difficult and expensive to find high mg pills, they may turn to Heroin because it is often cheaper, and more easily found than Oxycontin.
