I've done harder opiates and I still think Norcos kick ass, there will always be a special place in my heart for the 10/325s. I love that shade of yellow. There's nothing wrong with a couple Norcos every now and then. I'd give my kid Norcos before I'd give him/her hard alcohol. But it's something I definitely wouldn't make a habit of, that's for damn sure. Rare treat, and there's no problem with taking pain pills for... pain, even if you do get a kick out of 'em.
You got a cool stepfather man, which is amazing. A lot of people strike out in the dad department, and most people strike out in the step dad department, so I'm happy for ya. Just make sure to respect the relationship, and it should be a long lasting, fulfulling one.
