Answer:

to bypass their time-release design

Step-by-step explanation:

OxyContin abusers chew the pills, crush them and inhale them, or dissolve and inject them in order to ingest the medication all at once rather than slowly over time. (ps I just took the test and it's right, i hope this helps<3)

Answer:

To make it easier to smoke the drug, you can’t exactly smoke a tablet while it’s still intact (in pill form). It’s easier to crush it.
