Morphine is not a waste when taken orally, necessarily. Oral morphine can evoke an opiate experience just as any other, save for the rush or quicker onset of action with other routes of administration, IF the dose is a good one. I believe oral morphine gets a worse reputation than it ought to because of the fact that many don't care that much for the 'morphine high' over say oxycodone (especially if they are used to other opioids, and just getting into morphine), for example, but what they do appreciate about morphine is the notoriously 'body-heavy' rush when IV'd, as well as a high that resembles that of heroin quite a bit. Morphine is, sometimes, an acquired taste; it has a thick, heavy, sedating, and warm quality to it that many other opioids do not, and it can seem subtler than what it truly is (as is true with all opioids, on the whole) because of how it feels. Oral morphine, for you, could be quite satisfying, especially considering your small tolerance. Just know that it MIGHT be a sort of an acquired taste. Generally, I do figure that oral morphine is equipotent to oral hydrocodone (mg per mg), but that is not to suggest they feel the same; they just are as much opiate, if that makes sense. I would test the waters with the morphine by beginning at 22.5 mg orally, because you don't know how exactly you might tolerate it, enjoy it etc. Morphine is known for being sedating, truly, so I would start with 22.5 mg orally, which might seem like a low dose, but it is a prudent dose for the first few times with respect to your tolerance. In fact, I might even suggest starting at 15 mg orally - even that dose would do quite a bit, even if you don't 'feel' it at first. Oxycodone is markedly euphoric and stimulating without much heavy effect on the body with respect to the opiate family, and so you shouldn't expect the same thing. Don't dismiss the effects of a small dose just because you don't feel that 'zippy'/'heady' oxycodone high the first few times. It bears repeating - it can be an acquired taste.
