Alright I have a couple question about morpine vs. methadone.
First of all some people claim it is harder to quit methadone than heroin. No doubt, but it is `harder' it quit smoking than to quit heroin in the sense that there are more relapses etc. At the same time If offered a large cash sum to make it through a year without using the cigarette addict would IMO far more likely to succede. Whether or not you like this example I am just trying to point out their are societal factors and not properties of the substances of themselves that may change their addictivty. To be clear about what I mean I shall use *chemical addictivity* to mean your addictiveness supposing societal acceptance free availibity legality etc..
1)So my first quesiton is: Is Morphine more chemically addictive psychologically than heroin/morphine/fentanyl/oxy? Which do you have strong craving for significantly after the fact. Also if you did heroin for 6 months and methadone for the last 10 years please include this information as it would make a difference.
2) Which of the major opiates gives you the worst withdrawal symptoms (try and adjust or at least mention what your time and intensity of habit was.) Does physical withdrawal from these various opiates vary in intensity, severity or duration.
3)Do you find h or whatever significantly less potent after methadone...compensating for any methadone induced tolerance.
