morphine question

Hello everyone!
I am a long time lurker but a first time poster. The reason I am here today is I am sort of worried about my friend Sam. Sam has been experimenting with morphine sulphate IR 15mg, he tells me that for some reason he barely, if at all, feels the effects of the morphine. He has used norco and tramadol in the past and loved them both. He says it usually would take 40-60 mg of norco for him to feel very good, needless to say he is pretty opiate naive. But he is unable to get his prescription for norco anymore, and recently he came across a mutual friend who offered him some morphine. Sam has tried on 4 different occasions to get a good buzz off of the morphine but he hasn't had any luck. first time he tried 50mg of the morphine sulphate IR 10mg and said it was very subtle good feeling. The next time he tried 80 mg and reported it felt almost the same, maybe a bit stronger. So after 2 failures he read about "plugging" and tried that. He plugged 45 mg, waited an hour with not much result and decided to take another 60 mg orally and wait another hour, he felt good but it was very mild. So he decided to try it one more time. This time he drank white grapefruit juice before he ingested the morphine, and did it on a very empty stomach after a healthy bowel movement. He followed all the steps for plugging correctly after doing a lot of research, and decided to go with 60mg plugged. Once again he felt all right but not that great. He continued to take an additional 90mg orally over the next few hours trying to get the desired effect but to no avail....

Which finally leads to my question, is this amount of morphine a pretty typical dose? Sam says he feels as though he is very resistant to morphine, but wonders if that means he can handle a higher dose to feel the desired effects without the fear of OD. I realize the dose for everyone is going to be different, and the amount required to OD is different as well. But following that logic if your required dose is very high does that also mean your OD threshold would be higher too? Even if you don't ACTUALLY have a big opiate tolerance built up?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read all this, I may have gone into too much detail but like I said, I am worried about him and don't want to see him OD so I figured the more accurate I am the better.
cheers! :D

Tell your friend he should get his own account. I would think if he is sharing such intimate details about plugging morphine to you he is more then your "friend."
 
I agree. Tell Sam to sign up and create his own thread so we can help him.
 
Morphine doesnt carry the same euphoria as hydrocodone, oxycodone etc. Its more subtle especially oral or rectal morphine since only 30 percent gets absorbed. But it doesn't mean youll be safe taking larger doses because although the euphoria may not be on par with other opiates that doesn't mean its not causing you the same respitory depression and effects on the body/pain relief it simply means its a more balanced opiate that doesn't work quite as strongly on the µ opiate receptor which is the one that causes euphoria when we take opiates. The most effective way to take morphine is via IV but if you have pills those are not safe to IV and IV drug use brings a whole new set of problems that you don't want. Rectal may be a little bit higher at times but mainly its about the same. You should accept oral and rectal morphine wont get you as high as other opioids but it can be good for when your in pain.

Oh and sorry I mean your friend;)

Thank you very much trainspotter, I appreciate the informative response. Sam is happy to hear that information on rectal use, seeing as how he really did not enjoy the process and is glad to not do it again. He will stick to using morphine for pain relieve on those sore days and give up on trying to achieve the same feeling he had before.
once again, thank you!
