Question for you guys....

Let's say person A takes 50 mg of x (opiate) substance twice a day while person B takes 100 mg of same x substance once a day. Now obviously, person A has lower tolerance as it takes him/her half the amount to get a buzz while person B uses it less frequently. Which one would be more addicted or addicted faster or is it a wash? Basically, is all that matters is the amount consumed per day?

Also, assuming that everything else is identical (weight, age, physical shape, etc).
 
Well let's say both a and b have never used before so we can chalk it up to subject b having a natural tolerance to opiates. Just so we can have SOME control because this isn't something that can be answered for 100% sure.

I'd say if you are both taking 100mgs every 24 hours within those 24 hours and then the next day take the same amount before being sober less than 24hrs.

You would basically get physically addicted as quickly as each other. But it still depends heavily on many many factors.

The only way to be able to get high and "not" get addicted is to make sure u have 72 hours in between each dosage so the opiates get outta ur system.

Maybe this can help

You are better off taking 300mgs in one dose and wait 72 hours for next dose. Than to use 100mgs 3 days in a row.

Regardless if you want any shot at not letting opiates rule your life. Use every 8days so it's never the same day. Mental addiction and triggers are very real. So that being said u won't be getting high on the same day so u don't get triggers. Like "oh it's Saturday! Time to get high." Every Saturday will suck without it. But if u wait 8days the day won't matter so the triggers are lessened by at least that.
