These days I've been using oxy for maintinence. But I've always wondered does how much you use consistently determine how bad w/ds can get? For example if someone has a one bag per shot habit, will the w/ds be 1/5 of a person who does a 5 bagger? I'm mostly wondering because I've always wanted to know if those of you with 400 dollar a day dope habits just go through like soul crushing withdrawals? Believe me I have come down very hard from a habit before, and understand, but have never come close to what I hear a lot of the decade(s) long users going through
 
I don't think it's a simple as saying that a habit one fifth of the size of another habit will produce WD's one fifth as bad. But I think it is absolutely certain that severity of WD broadly corresponds to seriousness of habit and frequency of use. I'm not a doctor but I would imagine that this is a physiological necessity - heavier dosing produces more receptors in the brain which then become vacant when the use is ceased.

Also, oxy for maintenance? Wtf? Ignoring the fact that - as far as I know - no Western country prescribes oxy for maintenance, I don't see how you could use a drug with such a short half-life and with such intense euphoria for maintenance? That's not what maintenance is about.

I think he means dodging withdrawals, not maintenance. People like to mix the two terms up.

Yeah the terminology depends on where you live I suppose, here we call maintenance avoiding withdraw. Pills stop being fun when all you use them for is to avoid withdraw.
 
Well I sort of got an answeer. There is no better place than bl to come for bickering about insignificant things.... yes I use oxy to not withdrawal, that wasn't part of the question. Get past it.
 
This is a very interesting question. I have been on, then off H plenty of times (sometimes for a good solid year, others for just a few days.) Within the withdrawl periods I have had anywhere from a 200 a day habit down to a mere 30. I MUST say.. they have all felt equally horrible!
 
^see that's what I've noticed and it confuses the hell out of me why huge habits aren't hugely worse. (Don't give a fuck bout grammar)

Minneapolis represent! Best skag in the midwest!
