I know a girl that told me she was addicted to oxycontin and percocet a few years ago... I was wondering why her skin color is so grey? Can she still be addicted to those or other drugs?
What drugs make your skin color turn grey?

Not only is "she" addicted, she has probably abused them in ways that the meds were not meant to be taken. Crushing and snorting them, injecting them, leads to fatal heart and lung disease. Get "her" to a hospital ASAP. Grey skin is a sign of lack of oxygen and/or other serious disease. Abusing these meds has slowed the heart rate and breathing down to a point where it will be fatal.

It sounds to me like she's not getting proper nutrition, or lack of oxygen. Dehydration looks like that too. That pasty grey def not a good sign.

That is a terrific answer to your question, I would add that she could have hepatitisC... which could make the skin and eyes grey.
