Does Cannabis seem more potent after years of heavy opiate abuse?

Does anyone else notice a strong correspondence between heavy opiate use and higher anxiety when smoking pot? Though about this in treatment alot, and other people felt the same. I used to be a very heavy pot smoker, even a lot when I was using dope, but it gradually got less fun and more anxious and paranoid. I have theories, but curious as to your take.
 
not at all. for the last 5 years i have been in and out of opiate addiction, and heavily smoking weed on and off throughout those years. i have noticed no correlation whatsoever. when im dopesick weed is a lifesaver, when im high weed adds nice "flavor" to the dope high, and when im sober it keeps my mind of dope.

drugs effect everyone differently. i swear to god they need that in a big banner on every page of this site. cuz a lot of the times no one can tell you how or why drugs effect you the way you do, they just do, get used to your unique body/brain receptors/reactions to different drugs

if you heavily abuse any drug for extended periods of time, youre slowly going to lose positive effects and be left with only negative effects.
 
Man the stories I can tell...

Well long story short I am about to enter a subutex program or sub program soon for my nasal 200mg oxymorphone habit while poppin roxie 30s (OC tolerance would prob be around 450mg+, I drained an entire hospital diluid dispenser twice in 2 hours after surgery before I felt real relief). I mean, the last time I had fent 100 patches I smoked all the gel in a day... so I know about opiate habits, addiction, recreational use, and actual use (all of my opiate were prescribed to me for legit pain - i just choose to abuse them and am now done with that phase of my life).

I've noticed weed can help a lot potenting opiates - a lot! Some Grade A bud rolling in hash or kief is such a nice boost. Lately I've been getting high on smaller amounts of opiates that I'd never think I'd feel by mixing a good amount of things, and cannabis is one of the main ingredients.

While NOT on anything else, cannabis kinda lost it's potency with me. I mean, I can smoke the best chronic and have daily smokers next to me getting blazed out and I feel nice and high, just not ripped. I'd have to smoke about a gram of the best bud around through a bong to get high... but I also have smoked weed since I was 14.

I believe in general the answer would be no... but there are going to be outliers.
 
Yeah, not more potent but the anxiety seems to be more pronounced, to me at least. That is why I pretty much quit smoking weed. I will only smoke after having some beers in me to kill the anxiety.
 
I think when you have a heroin habit your body becomes sensitive to everything...like alcohol wouldnt make me sick before i was doing dope, now if i have a beer or 2 it makes me feel so shitty and sick. i used to be able to drink a ton no prob. And with weed i find i am sensitive to a small amount. like it doesnt take much for me to get high and even if i smoke more its like i get maxed out and dont get much higher.
 
hey op, look at what I posted recently in the anxiety/paranoia mega thread. It might help you.
