soberizing

[meister]

Are there any "accepted" anti-dotes for reversing a high, particularly in times where being high will be noticed by others? For example, an anti-dote to marijuana seems to be caffeine, but an anti-dote to an opiate would be what? I doubt caffeine can reverse a severe alcohol or opiate intoxication. Sometimes taking strong stimulants can sometimes make things worse, especially in the case of GHB.

I know of no antidote to MJ. There are things that will make you appear more sober but this is really jsut masking effects.
Opiates have *real* antidotes. Check out naloxone/naltrexone which are competitive antagonists at the opiate receptors. They will literally make you entierly sober again (and induce withdrawal in tolerant people).

Don't do it

Like quale said there are competitive antagonists like naloxone/naltrexone which will destroy all the opiates in your body. First you have to find these & second they are very dangerous. If you have a dependency on opiates these pills can make you very ill. They can also make you sick even if you have a low tolerance to opiates. Our you can go all out & go to your local pharmacy & buy a bottle of ipecac syrup. It's for emergency use to induce vomiting. Shit works real quick. But to try & act more sober on opiates just drink a gatorade & enjoy the ride...

Eh.. you do NOT want to take ipecac syrup. You don't just get nauseas and vomit. You will become VIOLENTLY ill, you will burst blood vessels in your eyes.. and from the descriptions given to me from hardcore bulemics, it sounds about as fun as a few hours of radiation poisoning.
I've never known a bulemic to use it more than once, even after they lost their gag reflex. It makes you that sick.

I have no gag reflex, and have never had one ( I have vomited 5 or 6 times in my life total). I once drank an entire bottle of ipecac syrup and did not vomit...the stuff sure made me feel like shit though.
