A few molecule-structure opioid questions.

Also, not all rushes are pleasurable. There are chemicals that cause what some IDU's call a 'dirty rush', an intense, rapid physiological change following an injection that isn't pleasant.

Phew...this makes me cringe. When I think of dirty rushes, IV adenosine immediately comes to mind.

What a uniquely dysphoric, obnoxious, unsettling experience.

Why would anyone inject adenosine?! That is pointless IMO!

Take these kinds of infrences with a grain of salt. I have an artsy culture magazine on my bookshelf that dedicated an issue to international drug use; on a page that lists obscure drugs, venom from a species of Cobra snake is listed as having 'Heroin-like euphoria when injected' (I can say though that the rest of the magazine had very interesting and true articles, aside from this one questionable, ridiculous statement).

I'm curious... Which magazine was this?

Care to describe the experience with adenosine?

I seem to recall I was injected with it in hospital after an OD once.

IF, and I am not sure, EMTs wouldn't tell me wtf was in the IV, it was adenosine, then fuck, it was seriously unpleasant, wierd effects on heartbeat/rythm.
