What are ppls thoughts of recreational opiate use, say on the weekends? Possible? Ok, anything can be possible. Probable?
That's the ideal situation.
To be honest, that's what most of us who ended up as addicts had in mind when we started dabbling. And many of us were successful at it. For a while...
It depends on your situation? Are you already a heavy user? If so, the "weekends only" rule won't last long, as most of us here would probably attest to. Not saying it can't be done. But it's difficult.
Are you more of a novice user? Than yeah, you can start that way, weekends only.
Everyone can do it for a while.. some last longer than others. But eventually that weekend turns into Friday night, then why the hell can't Friday afternoon be included? And then, "well fuck, I mean Thursday night is kind of like an early start to my early weekend, am I right?"
I'm not trying to be pessimistic here. I wish you luck. I just want to give you a realistic expectation. Every addict I've known started with a goal of weekends only, or some type of similar rule.
To answer your question. Is it possible? Of course. Is it probale? No, not really. With other drugs, maybe. With opiates/opioids? That's a different story.
