How do you wanna talk when you're nodding/drooling on yourself? I don't do opiates unless I'm noddin hard.^ The only reason that dope made me stay in, was because of having to wait for it to be delivered. From the time I called, to when I actually got it, was usually 3 hours. That meant, having to cancel plans because I was waiting on the delivery, and didn't wanna miss it. Once I got it though, I would go out, or at least talk on the phone to friends. I get the talkies like a mofo on any opiate.
Yea, it beats the hell outta getting completely wasted. I bring a few bags to the bar, and then just nurse a beer or two while talking to the ladies. If I don't have opiates, I end up getting pretty wasted usually.
