Read the article (a NeverGore first!) before I commented.....
He had a very disciplined approach to the amount, time of day, and length of use....very short-term usage as well.....
To extrapolate that data/use to widespread public usage is not just stupid, it’s dangerous.....
He’s trying to control what he can’t control. Typical addict justification
Era few people have the will to use opiates especially heroin responsibly
That’s very tempting and dangerous
Having a snort of H at night over a drink or a joint or even a small dose Xanax is pretty risky
And I’m someone who gets percs and steroids regularly
Heroin is a pleasure beat left to hospital care for crucial pain management
I often ask folks who abuse opiates ...and trust me some do....200-300 mg of oxycodone or hydrocodone a day
What will they do if they have severe pain like burns or stomach cancer....
Since they are so tolerant of entry level pain management what will work for them
Not to mention ....you’re messing with the body’s natural dopamine and serotonin feedback cycles ....experiencing pleasure can be altered
Not to mention the addiction
Odds are he keeps this up he becomes an addict
He’s already chipping....folks who purposely go without for a few days to bring the buzz back....unintentionally
You get a gold star...a 1-100 freeper....I just scanned the article admittedly
Some people can try it and walk away. An addict would be hooked after one try. But he does seem to be going to lengths to rationalize it.
