i am curious as to how many of you, or people you may know, have a daily opiate or benzo habit (my preferred drugs), and have a great education or a solid degree in some sort of math/science related subject. i hear so much from media that you cant make it unless youre drug free. im ready to go back to school now, i was in hawaii for a couple few years, learned a lot about life, and im ready for education. right now i am a daily opiate user, tramadol, now bupe is available. i have chronic back pain so i take the tramadol for that, but i like to get high, too. i also enjoy benzos, ive had anxiety since i was a young one, along with depression, probably most of the reason why i started using opiates etc. anyways just curious of the people who maybe are MD's and daily opiate/benzo users (besides House ;) i guess he's off the vic's these days huh

ps the chronic back pain is from jumping off a 65-70ft waterfall in hawaii and landing improperly (on my ass). compressed t11 vertebrate. its a bitch being in chronic pain and drug addictive tendencies. especially when youre labeled a drug addict in the local area.
 
I been addicted to opiates for like 2-3 years... started with oxy. I do mostly H now, but I was a lot worse back then because I had the same job I do now, plus credit cards, stocks n shit, so I was using every day vs now I only use like 2-3 days out of the week and on bupe for the other days.

Anyway, I went to William Paterson University and got a BA in Communication. 4-year degree...I was literally on drugs every day, would smoke weed before class regularly, i'd always be withdrawing etc... still managed to graduate with a good GPA and not fail shit or anything like that.

I am not saying it's bs that you need to be drug free to be a success. Even though I did good and graduated, I didn't give a shit...I know if I was completely drug free no weed no opiates I would have did better/been a lot more involved.

You just gotto set your priorities..if your teacher is strict a bout attendance, you gotto get your ass to class even if you feel like shit.

I remember trying to pick up in Paterson one day b4 school hurting/sick as a motherfucker sweatin balls and a narc saw me talkin to a runner...so we didn't do the deal. I was gonna go around the block and got pulled over, didn't have anythin on be but was bugged out so just went to school without pickin up.

I was literally in the WORST withdrawals in class sweating eyes tearing, I had to walk out of class a few time and just lay completely down in the hall/go to the b athroom and dry heave/shit.

Then the next day I would he totally perfect in class (high as a kite) lol.

Anyway I am just rambling, my point is, depends what drugs you do, but opiates don't fuck wit your brain as far as short term and long term memory (atleast i never noticed anything) and if anything they would give me energy to study. If your DOC is ecstasy IMO you are gonna fail the fuck outta school lol.

I also managed to maintain the same job since Oct 08 through the worst of my addiction (currently in it..just slightly more under control (yeah right). I do feel like my job is hangin by a thread though, sinc eim always on fuckin bluelight haha.
 
When I was on heroin, I had the best school semester thus far. I got good grades too. I even wrote a paper on why all drugs should be legalized for my English class, and got a 95 on the paper.

I am not currently addicted to heroin however (been clean for 16 months) and I also do not frequently use benzos. I occasionally use them, and I typically only need to use benzos (for insomnia) once, maybe twice per week maximum. I wouldn't let myself be dependent physically or psychologically on benzos for fear of rebound insomnia/anxiety.

Sorry to hear about your pain man. This is why I think opiates should be legal to purchase for 18+ year old's. Because you are absolutely sure when you're in pain, and it's not that hard to figure out which opiate works the best.

If you don't want to climb the opiate ladder too quickly, of course doctors are available. However I think it would help a lot of people out to be able to legally purchase opiates OTC for pain management, instead of having to rely on a doctor or their practice. For example, if I was all of the sudden in grave pain (and knew why) I would obviously use opiates to relieve the pain. I don't need a doctor to tell me how much pain I'm in, I can determine that just fine. :)
 
ive been on poppy pods daily for almost all of last semester and got a 3.95 gpa. but poppies are a little longer lasting than other opiates and cheaper, not sure how i would have done when i was addicted to h a while ago.
 
I've been on benzos for six years... I'm currently prescribed 6mg's of clonazepam and 20mg's of diazepam a day. I studied psychology at university, but I had to drop out half-way through my degree, so I never graduated. My academic skills seem to have been getting worse and worse over the years, but since I'm a polysubstance addict (benzos and meth) it's difficult to know exactly which drug is to blame. Maybe both!
 
sick of my bad choices

I am so tired of fighting with opiate addiction. I have tried them all. Honestly, I cannot lie, I like the euphoric feeling opiated give. But I need to live beyond my feelings and just do what I KNOW to do. I want freedom from this vicious cycle. Its a demon I've been trying to fight for over ten years. I have had some years of total abstainance from all drugs, and I eventually enjoyed life. Now I am stuck again and want out. I know it is posible and I am glad I have this desire to become free again. It it true that every time I relapse, this adiction demon beats me down ten times further, because I had once or twice conquered it with outside help, and then the guilt of knowing what it is and what it used to be like without these drugs is like a noose around my neck. I rebuke all guilt. I call this a new beginning, past is what it is...PAST. Over and done with. Time has come for me to climb back up this mountain again. Need encouragement and any positive practical advice would be apperciated.:\
 
I'm a medical student, but I can't imagine using daily and being successful. I use once a month or less and don't have any issues.
 
yes it seems like no problem if you can always have them available and keep it under a steady amount, no ups or downs, nothing drastic anyway. im not into peaks and valleys (shooting, hell even snortin oxy), even hydrocodone. but i dont mind some tramadol, suboxone for a couple three days then back to tramadol for a while, along with some valium in there in case of the seizure issue with tramadol. i like tramadol and bupe because they are not so addictive compared to codeine, hydrodone, oxycodone, etc, and they actually help my pain. sometimes im glad i can take just 10 to 30mg a day, with valium. like i said, always some generalized anxiety since i can remember. wouldn't mind getting off it but i've had seretonin syndrom from a dxm od and huffed a lot of crap when i was young dumb and full of ya... my brain is still there, id say 95% good to go, with all the organic/living things i drink/eat.
 
a bit mixed for me

I failed out one semester of college just from weed (daily) and psychedelics (weekly), along with other drugs here and there... but that was probably more from depression really

on the other hand, I also had a year of straight-A's on daily amps/coke and constant all/multi-night benders and all/multi-day crashes...

other ups and downs in between, but mostly I can handle school "on drugs"
 
I have a BS in Neuroscience/Psychobiology, and was a daily IV opiate and weekly coke user for sophomore, junior, and senior year.

I think it might have gone different if I didn't have the financial stability and connections that made it so I was only sick 1 day every 1-2 months at most.
 
it can be difficult being an opiate addict and going to class.

one of the worst feelings in the world is going to your school for your classes of the day and being sick as hell, sitting in a classroom shivering and wanting to bug out.
 
It depends which drug .

I'm not scripte dexdrine but I buy off my friend sometimes .
I take them in school and wow
I'm soooo clever.
So yeah I guess uppers can help you do better in class and get a solid education .

But then I find marijuana which is in a group of it's own impairs my learning, motivation and concerntration. When I'm stoned in class . I simply sit there zoning out and thinking about things/ drifting off into a mary Jane daze .
After class I realize I learnt nothing and can remember nothing .

Then there's opiates . After your first few times, I find they then help
my concerntration and confidence in class . But some of my Friends experience the total opposite. So I guess that for some they are great and for some they aren't.


But I find the best drug habit for learning/education has to be LIGHT (once a week) use of stims like d-amp , adderall etc .
 
I use daily, opiates, was IV heroin, before that snorted oxy and morphine for years, and now suboxone as, actually under whats prescribed.

Although I do not have a degree yet I am a senior undergrad at University pursuing a business degree.

I don't know if suboxone counts for using everyday, and with H it was real tough to keep it together and quite frankly my grades did fall horribly, part of the reason I had to knock it off.
 
yeah i remember sitting through class so many times withdrawing my ass off sooo bad when i was in college.

id be yawning like crazy with ym eyes tearing everyones like dam nyour mad tired man. then my oxy would get there and id be 101% after a bathroom break like participating talking and shit lol.

but yeah basically if you can't MAINTAIN your habit, opiates will fuck you over in school. If you do a bundle a day and have that bundle every single day IMO you will do as good if not better. LIFES NOT LIKE THAT THOUGH we all know that.

On suboxone I feel great and perform great (once I have made teh transition and its been a few days)

weed i always always smoked and im sure it didn thelp but I graduated with a bachelor of the arts in communication with a 3.2gpa wiht a 3.6 core gpa...and that was literally high every day never ever not high.,..closest thing was when i was just on subs but id always always smoke before class...it was just my ritual to blaze a blunt on the highway on the way there
 
It all depends on YOU, and your situation , from the sounds of it you get tramadol prescribed and have bupe as a backup? and you also come across as being fairly responsible and level headed. If you are prescribed the tram and can stick to the prescribed schedule and not be running out early and having the stress/sickness,needing to score n shit, i don't see why this would create any problems for you at all with school. The corporate media is full of shit 99% of the time imho, if you can maintain and manage your habits (easier said than done, granted) they really should have minimal effect on anything you do. Some people feel more 'on the ball' with opiates, more alert, able to concentrate, etc. and will actually find it easier to learn. for others they don't. So what do you think? can you do it? I think you can, but only you can really tell.
