Hello, I'm on a fairly high Methadone dose, I have questions about using other opiates.

Ive tried to look this up, but I havent found any questions/answers that fit what I am trying to ask.
I've been having a debate with a friend of mine where I believe Methadone (especially in high doses) are a opiate block. My friend, however, believes that if he did enough of his DOC, he'd eventually get high.
So I was wondering, would this just end in a OD? Or could this really work? Could he STILL get high while on Methadone? Or does the dosage change the outcomes?

It would end in an OD, or just not be really felt much. Methadone isn't an antagonist in any way like Suboxone (partial agonist/antagonist) is, it is a full agonist. Its slow onset and long duration make it hard to use other opioids on top of. Believe me, I've tried.
And yes, the dosage absolutely changes the outcome. On lower doses, you may be able to "break through" and feel your DOC. Either way, it is definitely not a great idea because you are making the risk of overdose or other complications skyrocket.
