I've gone though a lot in my life and the only thing I can truly say I've ever gotten addicted to is a pint of hagen daaz late at night while watching a movie. Not sure which is worse, that or drugs.
On the other hand, being a little high while eating ice cream and watching a slightly weird movie is a whole new level of fun.
Ok, despite everyone's warnings, here is tonight's trip update!
I wanted to give plugging another chance, since I wasn't sure I did it right last night and, from what everyone said, plugging should have really sent that shit straight to my brain (har har).
So I crushed up 3 dillies, put in in a VERY SMALL amount of water (3ml), heated it up and fully dissolved the dope. I was using one of the "baby feeding" eye droppers, with a giant squeeze bulb at the end... I used it to suck up all the fun juice, laid down and squirted it all up my pirate hole.
But see, once again I had trouble with my plugging device. Just turning it around let some of it leak out the tip, and by the time I had assumed the position, more than few drops had spilled (and there wasn't a whole lot of liquid in there to begin with). After plugging and squeezing, I pulled it out and, like yesterday, a whole bunch of liquid came out with it and dripped down my crack.
I don't know how much was lost, but it seemed like a lot. In fact, I wasn't sure at that point how many dillies I really even plugged - maybe 1 and a half?
So I snorted a couple as a chaser.
But wait, there's more!
When I went to the drug store I bought two items, one was very friendly looking (the one with the squeeze bulb at the end) and the other looked a little more serious - basically, an oversized hypodermic needle with no needle. Admitedly, I opted to use the more "gentle" device, but after reading more on here, it seemed like the syringe was probably more efficient.
Of course, I had to find out.
I crushed up another two dillies, made a soution and sucked that up into the "butt needle." I shoved that little puppy home and pushed down the syringe... MUCH BETTER! I could tell the solution squirted with WAY more pressure, right where it was supposed to go... and when I removed it, not a drop spilled.
The result?
Finally, after a week of messing with all these pills, I feel pretty decent. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the feeling I had with a morphine drip in the hospital the first time I had a kidney stone), I'd say I'm at a good 6.5 or 7.
All feels good with the world, and the back pain has gone down a fair bit (I still feel some pain, but on the other and right now I just don't care).
It may also have helped that I have not had a single thing to eat or drink today - not even a glass of water.
I'm glad I learned about the whole plugging thing on here - if it had just come down to eating more pills, I probably would have give up. That just doesn't do it for me!
Ok, so all this started around 9pm tonight... I'll update with more news later.
UPDATE: It's 11:30 and the high is definitely fading... has been for a while. I just drank some Kratom tea, we'll see if that kicks in
UPDATEL 12:40, if the Kratom kicked in it was very subtle. That's it for tonight! Tomorrow we'll see what the doctor has to say about my opiate tolerance...
