TIL Narcan: It can treat narcotic overdose in an emergency situation.

I agree with everything on this car.

It should be Schedule II and only for when hospitals fuck up a dosage.

On a related note: I've had some gnarly injuries in my life and doctors were always baffled whenever I declined opiates or would refuse to fill an opiate prescription. I told them the pain is manageable and I've had friends with dependencies (half of whom are dead now). Even had one doctor outright suggest that I fill the prescription and sell the pills on the street for $20 each.

Fuck opiates, and fuck the junkies. The one and only time I ever relented and filled the prescription was for combination nerve damage and dry socket.

I'm the same as you. Three c sections, the only thing I took after surgery was tylenol, and I was out less than twenty four hours the second and third ones. It's not because I worried about addiction but because I hated the way those medications make me feel. I also got a dry socket once (years before children) and the meds made me so numb I couldn't even use the restroom. After that I never took anything like that again. So powerful that you can't even use the restroom is insane(to me).

I still loathe the taste of clove. Dry socket was the worst.

My wife was the same way, just ibuprofen after drugs from surgery wore off.

Just looked up dry socket. Wish I hadn't. That shit looks like hell. Having had a dying nerve inside a tooth that got infected once (the tooth was otherwise not visibly damaged, but the dead flesh inside the tooth became filled with pus and bacteria) I can only imagine the intense pain of an open, festering wound in your mouth. Took the doctors a couple of days to figure out the tooth was dead, since there was no damage to it.My whole cheek swelled up and the pus started leaking into my mouth from the gum lining when I pressed the cheek, it was absolutely horrible. Damn, fuck. Gotta brush 10 ten times today. In my country doctors flat out refuse to give anything but ibuprohen and tylanol for anything but the most severe pain. But tooth pain is the fucking worst, it radiates all over your skull and it pulsates intensely, you cannot get used to it.

I like opiates but I like amphetamines better

Only time I tried amps were likely as bi-products of the cheap MDMA I bought back in the day.

Always hated the "speedy" feeling. The only acceptable stimulant to me was pure coke, and it was not always easy to get pure. Then again, even that wasn't my scene. I was really all about the psyches and the weed. Growing shrooms, hording LSD, smoking DMT, and experimenting with the odd trypts and phens was my deal (BTW, 4-AcO-DMT is the best overall psychedelic on earth).

I had too many experiences with friends getting in trouble with/dying to/otherwise fucking up their lives with speedy drugs/opiates/benzos to care about them in any capacity.

I haven't done anything for years, but no regrets.

Edit: At one point, I had a legit "Fear and Loathing"-style briefcase. Many of the drugs I never did, and wound up tossing. The 2C series was profoundly interesting on a visual level, and relatively nice on a head-space one, but the body load (namely, blood pressure and chest pain) made them scary experiences. I wound up tossing many of them, but 2C-P scared me the most; 2C-I was profoundly intense visually and psychedelically, with a bad body load, lasting 10hrs. 2C-P was supposed to be much of the same, but 2-3x longer in duration. I definitely didn't want that experience, and was somewhat unsure I'd even survive it.

I knew who this was going to be before I read the poster name.
