I'll preface this by saying it is not directed at anyone in particular or even said in full context of all the comments here, and it is just my thoughts on the thread subject I felt needed to be expressed.
It is less bioavailable orally, but i rly don't know what to say if you think morphine isn't useful or helpful or great. If you're using opioids to chase a buzz, you are always going to end up disappointed. Soon you will inevitably get hit with the hyperalgesia, and everything will hurt more than you ever thought possible always, and relief may never again be possible. No matter how high you get, the crushing anhedonia, chronic fatigue and physical sickness, depression, etc. will inevitably overpower it every single time.
It is the primary compound on which every worthwhile member of the entire opioid class is based, and the main source of the worlds opioid supply.
It's also way more effective for pain, than basically anything, with the arguable exceptions being dia
morphine, oxy
morphone, and hydro
morphone. Not an exhaustive list but you get my point.
If you should ever find yourself in absolute need of pain relief because of a serious injury, illness, or condition, you may find yourself cursing any doctor that tries to give you fentanyl (knockout powder, literally anesthesia that wears off in 20 minutes), hydrocodone (it's codeine, be honest) oxycodone (it's fckin sparkling codeine) or whatever other watered down bullshit, pill or injection or not.
The "morphine is weak" conversation is actually kind of harmful. Naive drug users read this shit, they think it's true because a bunch of thoroughly unhappy drug users proliferate it everywhere, then when they come on to a quantity of morphine that is larger than one single pill, they think it's weak, take all of it, and get absolutely shit ripped or fucking die. If you're a heavy regular drug user, please tell me another substance that exists that you can take *one* of and be satisfied?
If you can't afford more than one single morphine pill, and you know you have a higher tolerance and this won't really effect you, why would you pay for it or seek it out?
Tbh I used to read dumb old people rants like this when I was a bit younger, and thought they came from a place of judgement towards drug users, and hated them. This is not the case for me, and sadly now it's my turn to weave my own cautionary webs and tales.
I really wish to God I had not wasted so many formative years using opioids purely as a high or emotional escape. Now, I'm needing them to function, for reasons other than being dependent, and I have to actively put my self through repetitive painful ass tolerance breaks to even make them work at all, any opioid, and it's the only thing that will bring me relief. The only thing that strongly effects me is street dope whatever tf that is rn, and that just basically kills me immediately every time, fun stuff that. When you get to the point that pharmaceutical grade morphine, diamorphine, or fentanyl, aren't good enough for you, you need to start evaluating your life choices.
You know what I would do for a gd bottle of Morphine pills? A vial of oral solution? How that would make my life more livable immediately for so many days or weeks? I can not say the same thing about a gram of heroin. A bunch of fentanyl patches. Even old school oxycodone 80s, imo are inferior, if you care enough to understand how it works.
Pure morphine is honestly wasted on *most* humans. Couldn't be me though, I worship at the altar
