They give you tec's (T3's/Codeine) for your wisdom teeth. That is the absolute worst perk you can get. They're like $2-3 a pill here in Canada. Now, if you're looking for something decent, you'll be wanting Oxycontin's. Perks come in different strengths, 10 being the low-end, 160 being the high. It's almost impossible to get your hands on the 160's, and they'd be expensive. Depending on the area, the 40 oxy's are between $20-40. But they're highly addictive.
The 160's were pulled from most places because they were extremely likely to cause an overdose. Seeing as how they contain binders (time release), it wasn't uncommon for people to take too many because they didn't feel the "kick". Same goes for a lot of drugs, really (most common being ecstasy, where the effects might not kick in for an hour in some cases, so a user would double up then OD).
With that being said, many people would be able to see the allure of a good perk, but most users are simply addicted, which drives most of the use.
Perks are extremely dangerous if you have an addictive personality, and if you can avoid taking anything over 10x, you're much better off. It's not something you want to start being dependent on.

How'd you manage to get two bottles? Prescription error or intentional? They're dangerous and I'm surprised they gave them to you in such large quantities.
