It all depends what you're looking for.
For me, recreational wise, if I had to pick 1, it's def. opiates.
But if im at home, chillen, playing video games or watching movies, benzos all the way.
But mixing the 2, boy oh boy, now that's a different ball game, very dangerous, but if you have a high enough tolerance to mix them (like I do) they go amazing together.
Back in my Oxycodone and Hydrocodone days, adding Xanax or Klonopin to my doses would make me feel like im in heaven, and the best part is, benzos are cheap compared to opiates, so by mixing them, you get the best value, and feeling, so its a win win mixing them. When I got on Heroin, because pills got way too expensive, my whole life changed, I never IV, I was smoking the H and taking the pills orally.
With RX opiates, I can chain smoke cigs that taste AMAZING,. But when I was doing Heroin, if I smoked a cig, I would puke everytime.
So I did pills for 6 years, dose ranging from 80-200mg daily. I smoked heroin for 1 year, when everything hit rock bottom. Heroin gave me a w/d that my brain kept telling me kill yourself NOW, I was sweating like I just got out the shower, I would puke on a empty stomach, it was like yellow acid that tasted more bitter than pills, now that's fucking poison, empty stomach + puking CAN kill you by Dehydration, esp. sweating that much, and everytime I tried drinking water I would puke it back up, I was shaking, my stomach was 10/10 pain wise because I had an empty stomach and I still kept puking, my stomach would cramp so bad, I cant even explain how bad the pain was, my parents saw me sick like a dog, so they rushed me to the hospital, and they let me in in less than 30 mins, because I was more sick than everyone waiting in the ER room, EVERYONE was looking at me, literally. Some woman I don't even know cried FOR me, cuz she saw a young man sick like that, I was only 22 at the time, so the doctor ordered me meds to calm me down, all IV, which were, Morphine, Ativan, and Promethazine. After I got dosed, I finally stopped shaking, and calmed down a BIT. The doc told my parents only 2 things would save your sons life, #1 rehab, #2 MMT, couldn't afford rehab, so ever since ive been on methadone, and I can easily say methadone saved my life.
Ever since, ive never fucked with street drugs, im an RX person all the way.
