I've only ever tried opioids after being a surgery. I was prescribed off oxy to take every 4h. Was supposed to take it for two weeks. Every dose knocked me out and made me feel so uselessly drowsy… I quickly dropped it to one a day and by day 3 I just stopped taking it altogether. Couldn't stand it… the pain was better than the feeling of being high. I ended up using barely 5% of the prescribed amount. Random acquaintances came out of the woodwork to ask to buy my pills. I just tossed them all… that shit was nasty and I didn't want it nor did I want to enable anyone.

And I say this as someone who's plenty happy with drugs legalization, who likes the occasional MDMA, and who drinks plenty of alcohol. I guess I'm lucky I never run the risk of opiates addiction, because despite all that I have no desire to every touch the stuff again.
