So, while alcohol for better or worse has always been my buzz of choice, sometimes its fun to have a bit of variety. So with a bad cough today I figured it was time to tick dihydrocodeine off the list.
I got a packet of paracetamol (acetaminophen) 500mg with dihydrocodeine 7.46mg. When I got home I just did a simple cold water extraction which according to my calculations would have yielded about 100mg dihydro and in the worst case around 700mg paracetamol, but probably a lot less paracetamol. My intention was to do this potion tonight, but somewhere along the process I forgot this and just did the stuff after I made it. A disgusting bitter taste was my clue that it had worked. I've done CWE before for codeine so I am familiar with the process.
For the sake of comparison, while I have a rather extensive list of drug experiences; as far as opiates are concerned my use has been limited to codeine (a handful of times), tramadol (once) opium (smoked and swallowed) and low doses of poppy pod tea as well as kratom tea a few times. I take opiates very rarely, maybe once a month or so at most, but am a daily drinker and regular (several times a well) marijuana smoker.
With the codeine I have really only had one good experience, the rest I got no buzz but felt very itchy, or just felt a mild sense of relaxation but also nausea, I felt dihydrocodeine would be the same, thankfully I was wrong.
After swallowing the gross potion the stuff kicked in quite quickly, with codeine it always seemed to take around 45mins to feel something However this stuff was nearer to oral opium kicking in around 15/20minutes after I took it. For the record I took it on an empty stomach. The feeling of it coming in was a unique one, my arms and back felt heavy and then somewhat numb, but in a good way and my worries began to dissapear.
Recently, I have been facing all sorts of BS, my dad is in hospital with kidney stones, my mom is looking at bankruptcy and Im pretty broke myself, so I was feeling some anxiety which has been manifesting heavy drinking. Really Im just telling you this to give you an idea of my state of mind at the time.
Well soon into the experience I began to feel really relaxed, I was listening to some dub reggae and I felt a real appreciation for the music, in a way the appreciation was better than that provided by marijuana since my state of mind was both very chilled but also spectacularly clear. I felt very focused and began to get a pleasant sense of energy.
To be honest, opiates are a rare treat for me, just something for a little holiday in times of stress, so the dose while low was very effective. My cough which had been constant, had now faded, and has not returned (3hours after drinking the stuff). I began to feel more and more energetic and increasingly positive and decided to set about cleaning my room. The energy I can compare in a way to good cocaine in the sense that it was a nice relaxing focused energy and not jittery/anxious or overstimulating. At this point its worth stating that I am the last person on the planet to clean for the sake of it, so this effect was quite out of character. I have taken drugs (cocaine/speed) which are meant to make a person want to clean, however this effect has never happened to me.
I begin to feel increasingly positive and energetic (around 45mins into the high) and went and cleaned my kitchen. I could not believe it but cleaning was actually a lot of fun! Well while cleaning all of my stress had departed and I felt the happiest I had in quite a while. The effect was not particularly intense, but more of a background buzz putting me in a great mood.
At one point I found some papers which revealed that I had a work assignment in for later today. Instead of panicking like I usually would, I was able to calmly and rationally find the relevant papers and do the work. Again this was very out of character as usually I would have dashed around my room in a panic throwing clothes and papers everywhere before I found the work. This was a real plus to the drug, it gave me a great sense of relaxation without impairing my judgement like alcohol.
Around the hour mark the high hit its plateau and I sat and listened to classic reggae. It was nice to just be able to settle down and really relax and enjoy some great music without any underlying stress or a clouded mind. The effect at this point was really more physical; all of my muscles felt free of tension and I was able to unwind. When I drink I tend to just go on and on until I'm drunk as hell, whereas in this state I had no desire to up the dose or take other drugs I could just relax. Everything had a slightly golden tint to it which I also got with opium. A great benefit was that I got very little itching, whereas on codeine I itched so bad I had to ether take an antihistamine or put wet flannels on my neck (where I tend to itch).
I'm still feeling some of the effects, just feel nicely refreshed and chilled out, a bit like waking up after a great nights sleep. All in all I think its a nice drug for when I want a little break from everything. I intend to really watch my use and keep it at once a month or so (I know everyone says that but well I can only hope). It is the first opiate I have had (besides kratom which has other stimulating alkaloids) which has had such stimulating effects, others just made me want to sit back and let the world pass me by. Dihydrocodeine seems pretty overlooked and while its a baby compared to some in the opiate world, I still think its a lot of fun without being a heavyweight nod inducer.
Next time I think I will up my dose to 150mg, and see if I can expand on the positives, peace out my fellow bluelighters,
