    Please dont test out your theory of “I’m immune to opiate addiction”. I promise you that you aren’t the unicorn.

      Well as I stated, recreational doses of street opiates (before cent became a thing that had to be worried about) have not once ever produced an effect on me, and I have had 30 day prescriptions of medical dosages last 2 years.

        It takes a little time to get on the ride at first. If you never used two days in a row then its not crazy you never got hooked. Even with recreational opiates, taking home a 20 bag one weekend isn’t going to end your life. There are actually weekend warriors who only use on weekends and do relatively fine, if they can stick to the limits they set.

        Also opiates properly prescribed (the least amount needed for relief) are actually not too tricky to kick. I’m talking about 7 day or 30 day scripts that are take as needed or taken daily. You will likely experience nothing more than what feels like a minor cold or flu, symptom wise. You might have a few rough nights sleep.

        There are variations to things, there are many additional gears left to shift into, so to speak, I’m just warning you shouldn’t test them out because first gear didn’t scare you.

          I’m likely older than you and retired from the street drug consumption game.

          Believe me, I have tried opiates. They dont do anything for me. It’s a better ibuprofin but robs you of the ability to poop.

          Believe me, my interest in researching the validity is zero, I’m just pointing out that there are people with ADHD who claim that adderall doesn’t get them high, while at the same time, there are people with ADHD who are adderall addicts the moment they get the first pill ingested yet appear to have diminished or zero response whatsoever to opiates.

            “…appear to have diminished or zero response whatsoever to opiates.”

            I still think its dangerous to post things like this on a forum without any sort of actual citation.

            I understand its your personal experience, but there are so many compounding factors, it’s nearly impossible to say why you had that experience, or if it would happen again if you tried some street fentadope thats available now.

              Or just maybe… Some drugs dont work on certain people and they dont know why but ADHD appears to be involved?

                  Why would somebody harm themselves just because they found out something about somebody else?

                    To be fair I’m probably being oversensitive to it, but if you want to be technical about it, someone could read your post and think: “I should try street opiates and see if they have an effect on me, and if they don’t like this poster, then I am very likely to have ADHD.”

                    Let’s imagine for this person, they struggle mentally all the time but can’t afford or get to a doctor or proper care, and so this actually becomes the most reasonable test for them to administer themselves.

                    I understand I’m nitpicking and creating a scenario in my mind doesn’t make it real, I just personally would choose to play it safe and at least word things more carefully.

                    Again I’m not saying you can’t day what you said, just that there technically is a non-zero risk to it.
