My sister and her boyfriend got in a car accident back in November, he had a bunch of broken bones so they prescribed him perkaset (don't know how it's spelt) I believe he complained about how they weren't strong enough and called them "perk 5's" and a few times he had "perk 10s" instead of just taking the pill he crushed them and smoked them in aluminum foil I believe (the kind you use in the kitchen to cover food) he said it made them stronger or something idk. Anyways, to the point it has obviously been a long time since the wreck and he is still continuing to smoke whatever it is that he's smoking, and he's gotten my sister involved also. I'm not sure if they're smokin the same stuff or different, but I know it smells bad and still involves foil. Not that I can get much info about this with the lack of knowledge that I'm providing, but I'd like to get an idea of what this stuff is doing to them. About how much it's costing and etc. I'm assuming this is why she's always "broke" and his friend mentioned that he's had friends die because of it, and that he's told them they're addicted and need to stop and they both deny it. 
Pretty much any info will help, just know this is for my personal curiosity, I can't help them or force them to stop what they're doing. Thank you for your time.  (link)
Just for your info then...painkillers don't work on the bit that hurts, they suppress the pain in the brain. The chemical has to be in the blood to reach the brain. If you swallow painkilling tablets they breakdown in the stomach and the active ingredient gets into the blood stream relatively slowly. Smoking gets the ingredient into the bloodstream much quicker so they will act more quickly and more strongly. The only thing quicker is to intravenously inject the ingredient suspended in fluid. But honestly mate, if they're tablets you're meant to swallow the things. Not smoke them or shoot them up! Hope you'll use this info the way I intend. What they're saying is likely to be true, they will act quicker and stronger. But they're taking a risk with their bodies big time, so don't you go thinking it's a good idea. And denying you are addicted is a pretty certain sign that you are addicted, by the way.

What kind of things/risks are they taking with their bodies? I would like to know more of what damage their doing to themselves because I'm pretty certain they're addicted.
