I personally don't understand the Fent addiction.
Do you get high or does it just get rid of all your pain?
FENT is "opioids" squared as I understand it. I have never experienced fentanyl as a recreational drug, but I suspect I have had fake morphine sulfate tabs that were really fentanyl - LOOONG AGO. So imagine a single counterfeit morpine pill and just one tiny grain in it about the size of a spec of salt as the only active component produces the same entire exact feeling that a 100mg morphine pill should produce...
The net sum is that the opioid affects the opioid MU Receptor in the same way just at different intensities depending on the opioid in question.
The whole concept of opioids is that you don't get high if you are in pain. At least not from a Dopamine standpoint.
Even if you are in pain you still experience the disconnection, intoxication, and sensation to a significant degree. Its just that the DOP is already under attack by the pain, so the THEORY is that the OPIOID just counters that Negative Dop reaction occurring due to said pain, thus PERHAPS you may not get all of the DOP Gratification if you are really in pain. Its MUCH easier to control and self-modulate if you are using a lower grade opioid like hydrocodone for lesser pain scenarios. Fentanyl is really reserved for surgery and in patch form for very slow administration in significant long term situations, say, as if your body was being eaten up by cancer. I think they even make FEnt lolliepops or used to for cancer scenarios..
I can tell you that I met an anesthesiologist once who was license stripped and admitted to frogging himself with fent during surgeries. I saw him high on Fent once at what looked like a recent pin down. He was a nice shade of pale green/blue and looked like he could projectile vomit and any moment and his pupils were sharper than a ball-point pen.. He was busted.
Other opioids do not hold a candle to fent. Even hydromorphone is only 8 times stronger than morphine (I think I recall), and that one can kill your ass in a hurry at IV strength administration. Contrarily the uptake of ORAL hydromorphone(Dilaudid) is only 50% to IV returned strength. You could almost pop em like Lortabs or mild Roxys if you had a tolerance to those already. At the same time I met a CPRN that stated he had worked up to 300mgs of hydromorphone/day - IV and medical under-hood grade stuff like they mix in hospitals for cancer patients that need 10mgs per shot
... Right before he went to prison... He was a fukked up individual when that dose was taken away from him. I think he lived thru it... We are talking hydromorphone is dosed in hospital settings at 2mg per 6 hours. So he had quite the tolerance... The BENEFIT of hydromorphone is that it dose not tolerate like morphine and keeps on working dose after dose. Whereas a morphine dose for pain could almost double daily to control real pain for someone with a tolerance..
There is always Carfentanil (elephant tranquilizer). Consider that fentanyl is 800 times stronger than morphine. Carfentanil is many times stronger than fentanyl. There was a period when they were importing Carfent as well and that shit was so dangerous that just getting on your skin was OD'ing cops on drug busts and killing drug dogs via a sniff from a distance.. I suspect the Chinese backed off on the carfent production and import as it was just drawing too much attention and might have led to the reversal of these stupid opioid laws we now suffer under.
Sweet Jesus you BRANG UP some MEMORRAY'ZZZZ... And even with greater experience in hospitals, I was never really interested in anything more than hydrocodone for my pain. Its all just too much and an avenue to hell with those stronger ones. I recall one time injecting hydromorphone on the reg and one time I was standing there in the bedroom talking to my wife and next thing I knew I was standing in a pasture under a large tree with the wind on my face... I was back in like 5 seconds but the interesting part of that was that I was no where near in danger of an Overdose. It was just an example of the otherworldly experience that occurs with these stronger opioids. And hence a significant reasons why society shuns them. They don't want you to escape the box they keep us in. I can tell you its probably not a great idea either. As eventually you dont want to be in this realm any more... After you SEE that there is so much more to existence. Its just taboo for life on earth. So they have killed the lighter opioids for fear they can bring the same enlightenment. But they just don't realize its apples and oranges and not possible with the light stuff. And there was NEVER an issue of the wrong people getting the really strong stuff. So the ban makes absolutely no sense other than to cause chaos... But I have not doubt there is some GRAY between the lines beyond any knowledge base we will ever be privy to..
