What are your favorite drugs to do when sick with a cold, sore throat, sniffles, fever, all that…
Favorite drugs to do when sick with a cold?

Weed. Inhuman amounts of weed.
I'm a complete diva when I'm ill and being up to my eyeballs in lemsip and cannabis is the only thing that makes it bearable.

Ah lemsip is cold medicine though I was referring to recreational drugs.
There is dxm which is good for a cough and a hell of a recreational drug
Not something I would probably wanna do while sick and weak though
Yeah I couldn't see the option for lemsip in the poll so I just voted cannabis.
I've never tried DXM. I like ketamine so I'd probably enjoy but I can't be bothered figuring out what kind of cough syrup I'd need or scouring pharmacies.

i like to smoke weed tbh.
a trick i have to smoke less is that i'll pack a fat bowl that would normally take me like 3-4 rips and i'll just run my lighter over the whole thing for one hit. i'll actually waste some of the weed, maybe save it for when i'm not sick if i'm low. but i won't even bother with the bottom of the bowl. i'll just consider the whole thing vaporized... helps me get higher and smoke less.. i supposed i could just get some concentrates, but my description is my preferred way to do it.
i love when terps open up the lungs and a bunch of mucus pops out. definitely seems to help and make things more tolerable.

Dxm is way crazier than ketamine I would say. Much better combo with opiates than ket. Dangerous to combine with stims

Tylenol and metamucil pills, washed down with codeine cough syrup
Although I'm not sure if codeine still gets me high anymore

Man smoking a y substance is the last thing I want to do with a sore throat cough and congestion. It will just make me more congested and my throat hurt.
I used edibles when sick for sure.

I prefer whiskey, hot water, lemon juice, ginger and honey. But your solution sounds good too.

usually just edibles and kratom, when I got covid for the first time edibles were the only thing that helped me feel like I wasn’t dying. But doing drugs when ur sick sucksss for the most part.
Weed. True, if smoked it can exacerbate some stuff a bit, throat and all, but all in all it still makes everything suck less.

But being sick already sucks ass. Idk. Opiates and benzos are my vote. Especially opioids
Opiates and benzos for sure

Yeah I’m just sayin when I’m sick and I put added stress on my immune system it tends to minimize the good feelings and maximize the bad feelings, and most (not all) drugs draw out the experience and slow down recovery, at least IME. opies help with many symptoms you might have, and weed too, so I’d vote for them, but specifically kratom moreso than traditional opiates.

Kratom is dirty and kinda stimmy plus swallowing ten grams of nasty shit when you’re ill isn’t pleasant.
Kratom does have better nasal decongestant properties that lure opioids though (probably due to the stimulant effect?)
I don’t know if opioids lower your immune system. I haven’t researched the scienctific veracity of it but isn’t there lore or urban legend that opiate addicts barley never get virally sick at all therefore may have heightened immune systems?

NyQuil. Mucinex. Drugs are useless when sick. In pain maybe. Colds I just want to sleep. So maybe anything to knock me out.

Yea that’s why I like benzos. Just sleep through the whole sickness
NyQuil won’t knock me out we need stronger drugs these days than that.

I’ve heard this but I don’t really buy that bit of lore tbh, I tend to get nauseous and feel dirty when taking H or Hydrocodone when I’m already sick, though admittedly the bulk of my opioid use has been with black tar heroin and opium tea which are both more prone to inducing nausea, so maybe for other, purer pharmaceutical opioids the experience would have a different effect. I don’t mind the taste of kratom and it doesnt upset my stomach, I find that Kratom has a possible antibacterial/antiviral effect, just based on a few experiences where taking it has totally stopped my symptoms when I was sick, and I’ve given friends kratom when they were sick and it’s helped! There’s no studies to back this up, but that’s why I’d vote kratom. The stimulant effect also makes me feel less sick as I have 0 energy when I get sick.
