Is it normal to experiment with opiates?

is it normal to experiment with opiates? like Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, Vicodin, Morphine and etc but not heroin or at least a very low dosage. As long as its used in moderation(preventing addiction/od properties) and doesn't interfere with the users life.

    I don't like them. They make me constipated and itchy.

    Heroin and Morphine are pretty much the same substance. Herion is diamorphine and once it has crossed the blood brain barrier it is converted into morphine. The extra acetyl groups attached to heroin make it more fat soluble which means it can cross the blood brain barrier very fast, morphine in comparison is not good at crossing the blood brain barrier but theoretically they boh have the same effect on the body.

    I don't have much of an addictive personality. Even if I jump onto something, after a few months, it will get old. Every few months I would quit smoking and then pick it back up and one day I decided to quit for good and it has almost been a year and I could not smoke another cigarette for the life of me. I have tried opiates, cocaine, marijuanna, adderal and some pills that... were just... bad memories, man, bad memories.

    I've been around the block a bit, and I will tell you... Opiates... scare me. They are the one drug that I know for a fact I could get hooked on easily. I took a vicoden a few months ago and once it wore off, I CRAVED more. I have not felt that way since my really stressful smoking days. My mind was racing, I was thinking of how I could get more, maybe steal it from my Aunt (And I am not a thief, I have a clean record, I have done petty shoplifting as a teenager but I have never stolen DRUGS), purchase it from a friend...

    My aunt gave me a whole BOTTLE of hydrocodone because it wasn't working for her and I dreaded the day that I would run out. I promised myself I would only use it for pain and like magic, those few weeks, the only few weeks of my whole life, I was in "pain" every day.

    They scare me. They scare me because of every drug I have done, opiates are the only drug that have made me consider theft or purchasing for the ridiculous prices that drug dealers charge. Every other drug was just a recreation, something I did for shits and giggles, I am not a druggie, I am just stupid and curious, but I LOVE opiates.

    ...and the fact that I can sit here and proclaim love for a DRUG scares me the most and says the most. Stay away from them. I have heard too many horror stories and have come close to forming my own addiction. Stay away from them, I sincerely ask you.

    Opiates are probably the most addictive substance out there. Even with moderate doses, I've seen people get addicted. Lost a few friends to opiate use. It's not something I like to mess with, even when I need something for pain.

    The thought of taking zolpidem excites me so much because I love that drowsy feeling it gives me the day after. I suddenly become this extrovert on a high for days but when wears off after taking it consecutively for a few days I can't function It's like I need that feeling. I've stole diazepam from my dad and I raid the bathroom cabinet for cold medication here and there. These are just silly habits the pills are mostly for insomnia but they hit me really hard I sometimes hallucinate I love it. I have never tried opiates hard drugs etc because if I go there I will never come back I know myself. Tried smoking cigarettes but the smoke gets in my eyes, nose it's irritating but it does nothing for me in terms off side effects which I'm after when I take these pills I'm on an edge sort of if someone offers me cocaine I'll probably snort the fuck out of that shit it's all in my mind really, I don't need to but the mind wants what it wants but I say this with certainity I will never do drugs some things are better left in the imagination but as for the pills won't hurt every now and then when bored with nothing to do.

    I think it's so easy to become addicted. I had 7 back surgeries in 12 years and was prescribed MASSIVE amounts of opiates for pain. I was being prescribed 750- 30 mg oxycodone ir and 60- 80mg OxyContin er per month. I took that amount for over 2 years. When they say that too many opiates cause respiratory depression, trust me, it's no joke. I spent 5 days on a ventilator in the ICU because my body decided to stop breathing on its own. That's was my cue to get off the shit. I've been clean for 2 years now and best thing that's happened to me. Do I still crave opiates, god yes. Will I ever use them again. Only if I want to die. Good luck everyone, and yes, it's normal to take opiates and get addicted. Even recreational.

    Sure its normal... Many people do this without even realizing it (prescriptions). I started doing this when I was 20 and I was fine for ~5 years but I am now 27 and on Methadone following a massive Heroin addiction. I really don't regret it at all though. I love Heroin so much! If you are going to spend the money (an OC 80 costs ~80-100 bucks in my area) you might as well just get a little bag of heroin though. Much cheaper and no different in therms of the high and the risks. you do not have to inject it. you can even stick it up your butt (plugging) and get a similar "rush" that injecting it would produce. I still do heroin even whilst taking methadone. I need a hell of a lot more so I don't do it often. No regrets at all but I don't think I'm normal and most people would regret it I think so make sure you want to go where you're heading.
    I never even realized that I was addicted to pills until I ran out and felt like I was dying!

    yeah well if we r here and we agree that this is normal and healthy to take a handful of vicodin or xanax or valium...its beacause we r all addicts and we love these feelings that we get from these drugs...i also have to admit that there is a certain vial in mexico called TEMGESIC 0.3MG
    this drug comes in a liquid form and can be injected directly into the vein...it is synthetic morphine...and it is my favorite. for about 40 dollars including the doctors prescription you can buy a box with 6 vials...just one will do it for a whole day the first time....after a while you can do 2 at one time and you get that warm drowsy itchy feeling....love it...so are we normal....well drgug addict standards yes we are....normal society...no we arent...do we enjoy it...of course...as long as we are not destitute in the street begging and stealimg to get this stuff i think we will b o.k. when you lose control and start jonesing sooo bad that you slap your mama in the face for a vicodin...then i think you need to be getting some help..

    It's normal but a bad idea. I've eaten my fair share of painkillers and done H a bunch, but I'd rather just smoke some pot and drink. A LOT of people I know though, started eating painkillers in high school, thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, and are now 25 year old junkies. Gl and be careful.

    No. You should try curb this experimentation before you start to develop a serious addiction.
