Opioids Morphine IR questions

Sounds like morphine may just not be your thing. Could be wise to save those receptors for real pain.

Kind of sad that I didn't really get the effects I wanted. Opioids have always been this thing I wanted to try because of the crazy high I hear so much about.
Thought opioid highs were universal, or whatever the word might be for it.

This is a very real possibility and I suspect a lot of people are disappointed when they first take opiates - even up to IV heroin - the first time expecting some sought of super orgasmic rush. I'm sure that rush exists for some people but there's plenty who don't get that feeling and wonder "what's the big deal?". There is another category, however, which I personally fall into, which I call 'relative euphoria', or 'euphoria from negation of suffering'.

I knew the first time around I took morphine (orally, but still enough to make me puke) that I had just crossed a line, marking a profound before/after stage in my life. It was every bit as life changing as some of the most powerful psychedelic trips I've taken (although in a very different way).

Taking opiates for the first time (and many, many times after) felt like putting down a very heavy backpack filled with lead that I never even knew I was carrying. I've suffered from chronic low mood disorder since my early teens so I've never been happy go lucky even at the best of times, but that first morphine experience had me feeling like I belonged in this world and so did every other thing. I have never been able to capture anything close to that feeling on any other substance, or any other lifestyle. It was a revelation and it made me aware that there were different states of being which humans could experience which were at once radically different from my daily mind state and yet not accompanied by any psychedelic 'visuals' or obvious, flashy distortions of our regular perception.

I think I wrote this before here on BL years ago, but for a small number of people opiates are almost mystical in their effects.

Having said that....

Upshot: I've been a heavy daily user for more than 15 years, have lost jobs and relationships, and have damaged my health by not always being properly hygienic when shooting up. I no longer experience the positive, mystucal effects that I did in the early days. I just experience a personal hell if I go into withdrawal. I just added this as a counterpoint in case it sounded like I was making opiates sound tempting for any depressed folks out there. It isn't a magic panacea and it doesn't work as I described for plenty of people even if they do feel depressed, isolated, disillusioned, etc. This was merely my experience.

Take care, OP.

Hey man, thank you for telling your story about it.
Yeah, I got anxiety and depression on top of bipolar.
So I'm in a low mood all the time, if I don't have mania that is. I am at that point where I say, "Fuck it, let me have some fun instead of this sad shit; at least if I die, I die feeling great", so I try everything I can get my hands on. Lyrica is basically the only magic thing that works great for me for highs. I get happier, euphoria, and finally no anxiety, and I know Lyrica is for nerve pain, so I was thinking, if Lyrica works for me, I couldn't imagine how great opioids would feel.

But now, reading what you said and what a lot of other people have said about opioids, I am also happy in a sense that morphine didn't have that effect on me.

Crazy high from opiates could be considered some kind of modern myth. Only small fraction of population will like heroin from the first go.
Most people are going to say something similar: I've expected much more from it.
My first impression from heroin was surprise how uninteresting and not very pleasant it is.
But make no mistake: you can develop habit and dependency on it even when you do not like it very much. Just repeated use is enough.

It is certainly a more subtle buzz than say alcohol! Your brain still works for the most part and you still have control of your body. Any psychedelic is gunna fuck you up more. It isn't what alot of ppl sell it as..

haha almost like benzos where you gotta be a little 'fucked up' to enjoy it. No release of anxiety/pain no soul to the buzz?

Lol to be honest morphine (Opiates) were kind of a pot enhancer that got a bit out of control.

Damn, I again must say I thought opioids would be more heavy hitting compared to alcohol. I feel like all the things I read and heard about is getting turned upside down now.

Morphine a pot enhancer you say
Gonna try that sometime, and I guess even a small dose of Morphine would be more than enough of you vape a good concentrate of the Zaza/pot.
