    Also I think it’s funny that he mentioned DARE because that whole “ALL DRUGS ARE DANGEROUS” message created a lot of younger future addicts. How you ask? Well if you’re told everything is dangerous and then you smoke weed and you’re fine? Then you might try cocaine. And when you do that and you’re a little worn out but otherwise okay? Then maybe you try heroin. And when you try heroin and you’re not chasing the dragon the next day then you say “well all I have to do is not do this everyday”. If DARE told the truth they’d have said “they’re dangerous because they don’t seem or feel dangerous at all... until it’s too late”.

      @@krufty47 Yeah... I mean, I can understand if someone says it's not their DOC like they prefer cocaine better or something, but the reality of the fact is saying you don't like opiates is almost tantamount to saying "I don't like being happy". Opiates ingested essentially release a tidal wave of endorphins which of course is the naturally occurring chemical in your body that makes you happy. What it does is it just releases a tidal wave of artificial happiness, and if you continue using it your brain actually to a certain extent forgets how to make it by itself. It's never too late for it to be repaired, but it does become harder and harder with prolonged use, that's why I feel like opiate addiction is so comprehensive. It literally covers the physical as well as the emotional, making it excruciatingly difficult to quit.

      It is definitely NOT COOL when you busted your third nut in a hour just because a strong breeze blew past your genitals for 5 seconds while dope sick!
      Most people dont know about that shitty little side effect that makes it impossible to lay on your stomach as a dude while going thru withdrawals! Plus the hypersensitivity in your skin and nerves, the buckets of sweat pouring out of you for no reason for days, your sense of smell being stronger than a dog's and everything smelling aweful, especially your own sickly body, and muscle and bone aches that feel like the day after leg day after your first time back to the gym in years, multiplied by 100, across your whole body, and you have no appetite, horrible insomnia despite being super tired so that youre lucky if you sleep an hour or two in an entire week, and your nerves having burning pulses shooting thru them down into your toes every 2 seconds that gives you thr worst restless leg syndrome imaginable, and if that wasnt bad enough, your perception of time slows down to a crawl, 100× worse than staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring in a boring class because your adrenal glands are going haywire in the absence of the opioids to suppress them. And considering that a lot of people go thru all of that in a jail cell, it's pretty much the worst thing ever short of some medieval tortures and being burned alive at the stake while watching the people burning you run a train on your wife and daughters in the public square.
      So anyone thinking about using, go hang out with some poor bastards in the middle of withdrawal symptoms trying to get clean, and I'm sure the sickly smell of their buckets of sweat alone will deter you even if their cries for some kind of relief dont!

Basically the old, "itll never happen to me, I am not so foolish as to get addicted" until it happens because it only takes 3 to 5 days of continuous use to become dependent even for first time users and a string of events occured that had them popping pills one too many days in a row for the benefits of zen like calm and focus and pain tolerance that they provide before you become dependent and then suffer the opposite of all those benefits multiplied by 100 while trying to get clean and then have time slowed down to a crawl because your perception of time is altered probably due to your adrenal glands going haywire without the opiods to suppress them which makes it all that much more drawn out, longer feeling and so much worse of an experience!

    I'll say this - I'd been a heroin addict for more than 20 years, and I maybe came close to having an overdose Maybe twice, when I used an insane amount, right? Once Fentanyl was on the scene, I O.D.'d more than 70 times within two years. And I mean unconscious, lost control of my bowels, needed Narcan kind of O.D. Also, I never had an issue with abscesses with real heroin - after Fent, I've had to have major surgery in both my arms, and have a ridiculous amount of scars now due to infection and abscesses. Thankfully, two years of that (after a lifetime of drug use) was enough to finally make me quit. I've been clean about 4 years now, thank God...
    Also, my daughter in law, who Only smokes weed, smoked some and went pretty nuts. She had to be hospitalized in the mental ward for a few days. They obviously tested her, and she tested positive for Fent. So, yeah, it's in Everything now...

That one always stuck with me because people always tend to view addiction as either a physiological dependency, or as a symptom of personal spiritual/psychological crisis.

    I started a love of opiods a long time ago. Back in the mid 90's when heroin had made a little comeback in popular culture, I was just starting my 20's but I was able to quit for years. Until I got a serious enough injury in 03' that I was prescribed oxycontin, and like so many others it progressed from there. From 06'- up until 09' I was on fentanyl, eating 1.5 to 2 of the 100 patches per day! It was a serious addiction.. The withdrawals lasted weeks when I had tried to quit myself. Life had gotten past unmanageable, I had to go on a methadone program. It took me a year of increasing my dose until my dose was at a level that took care of my cravings. Now with determination I haven't slipped in almost 10 years. The reason I share this is to answer Joe's question about performance enhancing. I can answer with some certainty that as long as a person stays active, and they're on a dose they gradually worked up to, it does seem to give a boost of energy by reducing all pain, but the dose has to continuously go up as a tolerance builds. The nod usually only happens to people who use then sit down to relax, yes they will nodd off, and probably overdose. I don't recommend anyone test this, just take my word for it!

One day at a time, and also really good pot or psychedelics in moderation when in the company of friends.
    My heart goes out to those who are still sick and struggling with the suffering of so many human beings out there today. It’s gotten so much worse even since I’ve been clean and got on suboxone maintenance, which I’m tapering off of entirely. I can live my life strive and thrive again, unfortunately you can count on more than two hands the amount of people I know or knew or had on my phone that are no longer alive, whether it was because of heroin or meth or crack or booze or eating or anything that is a life threatening monkey on your back.

      ​​@@josephsierzengaIV your right they have made tons of different analogues when one gets outlawed they already have another one ready but potency always gets effected for instance regular fentanyl is around 100x the potency of morphine and 50x the potency of heroin but the analogue carfentanil is around 10,000x the potency of morphine and 5,000x the potency of heroin it's 10-20 times the potency of normal fentanyl it's really scary shit even a tiny piece of a fake pill could kill a non opioid tolerant person the fentanyl on the street is not the same as the fentanyl in hospitals

    The horse thing makes perfect sense to me as a recovering addict, most people think of someone drooling on themselves high on heroin, but I felt like I could run through a wall on heroin, it was my superpower, I'd go play basketball and never get tired have limitless energy, I'd clean my whole house, play with my kids, and then at the end of the day yeah I'd nod out watching a movie or something. It made me feel how I wish I felt everyday, unfortunately when I couldn't get it it was a worse hell than can be imagined. I know other people that felt the same way, and in the really good Ben Stiller movie Permanent Midnight he shoots heroin and then worked out and ran for miles and miles, so it's pretty common.

      This should be the top or pinned comment. It is a misconception that all opiate users are drooling zombies. Opiates give an addict stamina, confidence and energy. You can do anything after a dose, you are superman. This is why Alexander the Great would give his troops opium during long marches. It gave his troops the needed perseverance to travel long distances with little respite.

    I had a heart attack a couple of years ago and was given morphine in the hospital ER. Morphine is only a fraction of the strength of heroin, but the second it hit my bloodstream, I instantly forgot about the heart attack. All I could think of was, "When are they going to give me another shot of this stuff?". Lenny Bruce was right, it is like being "hugged by God". Thank goodness they only gave me the one shot. I totally understand why people get hooked on heroin and fentanyl.

      what the guy DIDN'T mention is the fact that generally it also makes you nauseated, foggy-headed, makes your limbs uselessly heavy, and as you start to sober up you reach an emotional state lower than baseline. a few hours of chemically-induced euphoria and suddenly being normal feels *wrong.* you feel cold but you're hyper-aware of every drop of sweat, your muscles take more effort to move than if you'd just done a full workout with no breaks, your gut seizes up and you're starving hungry but your stomach refuses to let you want to eat.

    I think he got it back with what a perfect opiate for surgical applications would be. Long-lasting is actually not desirable. It makes it more dangerous and takes control away from the anesthesiologist. Fentanyl has a really short half-life and depending on route, but after a dose typically the effects ware off in 45 minutes. IN surgical applications they would give it on a drip slowly Unless the creator specifically wanted a long-lasting drug, either way, he didn't succeed there.

    Hey Joe, for a lot of people, especially people with a drinking affinity (and it may have something to do with a gene or set of genes that have to do with how people process depressants in their brain/body) low-mid level doses of opiates, basically as long as you aren’t laid out by it, it actually can act as a bit of a stimulant as well. You will become very chatty and excited about the world. I got a prescription for way too much hydrocodone when I had a dental procedure and my cousin and I would use it to go on hikes and just enjoy nature in the snow for hours during the winter, not fearing the cold, chain smoking, though admittedly kind of dreamy. It definitely gives addicts a bit of a jolt if they don’t take a dose that has them nodding.
    Also I doubt any of those people like prince and Mac Miller didn’t know they were taking cut pills. They enjoyed the stronger experience. Fentanyl also has like a 90% bio ability intranasally, which is easier and more discreet than IV and obviously a really slippery slope.

    A lot of people have the misconception that opiates will make you sleepy. They do when you're overdosing, so in that regard, I suppose it's correct. But when taken more moderately, it dulls your pain and you feel great. Feeling great brings on more energy to do more things. But it will become a vicious cycle as your tolerance builds and you require more to feel the same.

      Yes absolutely. When I used to take opiates and benzos, it was the only time I'd get anything done. I'd be cleaning the house, getting out and about and shopping, exercising etc. It will make you sleepy if you're at home on the couch taking as much as you like and watching TV.

    Tramadol made me extremely jumpy and did very little to help with pain.
    I have been on a stable dose of oxycontin (now oxyneo) & oxycodone (for breakthrough pain in between) for the passed 10 years. I'm at 35mgs/daily with cannabis and was offered fentanyl patches, which I declined.
    The trick with opiates & opioids, for me, has been to just take enough to lessen the pain so I can engage in relatively normal activity...when I started, I tried to completely eliminate pain, which led to resistance/tolerance.
    The added cannabis helps with pain tolerance(dissociation from the pain) & inflammation, depending upon the strains(Jack Herer by Sensi seed bank works best for me).
    This combination works best for me and hands down beats what they first had me on...

  • @wbbils7052
    @wbbils7052 Před 4 lety +2

    The only time I ever used Fentanyl was as a chronic pain patient. My MD said my insurer insisted I try it in "patch" form. When I first wore it, I was dizzy and lethargic on Day One; felt ok on Day Two, and got no pain relief on Day Three. Then I replaced the patch with another and went through the same shit. After two weeks of this, I called my MD, told him I wanted the Oxy pills back and to report my experience to the insurer. I've never become the "addict" on Oxy that the government claims will happen. I can tell you that my experience with Fentanyl convinced me that it is bad news, which is what I've been telling other pain patients since my experience. My opinion of "the opioid crisis" is that it depends on the user and the drug, and that it appears to be another one of the many "crises" that Big Brother sells us to keep itself in control of our lives.

      WB Bils That is a very understandable perspective, but I want to expand more on what you said of how it depends on the individual user. I don’t think the opioid crisis is something blown out of proportion. I am an addict (I have some time sober) but had I never willingly experimented with opiates and fallen into the trap of recreational drug use, a prescription for OxyContin would have mixed terribly with my already addictive personality and sent me down a bad path. My point is that some people are prone to addiction while others are not, and throwing people chemicals that stimulate extreme neurological pleasure is a very dangerous gamble and can bring out the worst in an individual.

Asked MD for Clonidine, which helped to get off the shit, but I invariably elected to go back on it because no better remedy existed except for the surgically-implanted spinal nerve stimulator that allowed me to permanently reduce most of the Oxycontin I was taking after three prior disc surgeries. All this being said, I never became a depraved addict with a constant increasing need for opiates because I treated the meds as serious business, and not as a form of pleasure seeking. I suspect the mental and physical self-discipline I learned as a Marine; as a twenty year PED-free strength athlete; and over seven years of college (BA and JD) is a main reason I have always treated pain meds as a necessary PART of my life, but NOT ALL of it, and never became addicted to them.
