Over the last 10 years, I have tried opioids maybe a total of 10 or 15 times. The four types that I tried were:
- Codein
- Tramadol
- Heroin
- Opium
I was always careful with the dosage in the beginning, because I had no tolerance whatsoever. Then, when I didn't feel any effects, I increased it. And increased it again. And again. This got to the point where as a first-time heroin user I would snort a good-sized line of the stuff, or end up drinking a whole bottle of codein cough syrup, or drop 200mg Tramadol on an empty stomach. Even so, the effects in all cases have been so minimal as to be almost nonexistent. Whatever effect I feel from opioids is so mild that I am not even sure if it's a placebo or not. Mind you, I did throw up from the heroin, so I guess the side effects still affect me, just not the actual rush of any of these drugs. I don't know whether they would work on me for pain relief, as I never took them for that purpose. But as far as the typical states described (euphoria, sense of relaxation, nodding, etc) I get pretty much nothing.
I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience (or rather, lack thereof). It just seems so strange to me that I can take what is clearly a very potent class of drugs with no tolerance and seemingly just be unaffected. (In case you are wondering, all the opioids I tried were either straight from the pharmacy or from reliable sources, so no, I wasn't just ripped off and given bogus stuff)
