Alcohol & Substance Use

Never been very interested in downers, but I got the chance to try some Fentanyl recently.

A pal of mine whipped out a couple time-release transdermal patches and we decided to slit them open and smoke the goo off a sheet of foil pretty much just for the hell of it, lol.

It was on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11th so I had terrorism on the brain and I knew Fentanyl was the leading suspect in the question of exactly WHAT the Chechen rebels (and their hostages) were lethally gassed with in the Moscow theater hostage crisis, which also happened to be nearing its 10th anniversary.

I enjoyed the serendipitous coincidence of finally getting a chance to try some on the anniversary of a (kinda) closely-related terrorism attack, PLUS I'd remembered first hearing about Fentanyl on the news way back in 2006, when a bunch of coke and smack laced with the stuff was slowly spreading across the country and killing unprepared users left and right.

With my steel trap mind and faultless logic I IMMEDIATELY deduced that anything that's killed THAT many people must be AWESOME.

>:)

Haha, so it hit pretty fast after just a single puff off the foil -- it IS stronger than morphine by a factor of 100, after all -- and the three of us were immediately pretty impressed with the strength of our highs relative to how little we'd smoked so shortly before. If I hadn't known better I might've thought I'd been surreptitiously shot with a strong batch o' smack when I wasn't looking, actually.

So it was fun with the three of us passing around the 1st patch for about half-an-hour, but by the time we started smoking the 2nd we were all getting sweaty hot flashes (in an air conditioned house), slowly sinking to the floor, and just generally getting a bit intimidated by even the mere thought of taking another hit and, consequently, we never even finished the 2nd patch that night.

In fact, I actually got MASSIVELY sick and puked for 24 hours straight, lol. While basically nodding off throughout the entire ordeal, of course. FUN!

I also ended up hurting my back because I was too wasted to take my boots off so I just dangled them off the edge of the bed the whole time, with my head dangling off at the other end where I'd eventually left a puke-bucket on the floor. Had me kinda twisted strangely AND numb to the pain of my positioning AND too fucked-up to move. Great combo! So by the time I had an injury the Fentanyl might've actually helped me get through I'd already destroyed all the patches!

Oh, the irony.

But by the anniversary of the release of Mechanical Animals a couple days later I was out of everything else and my back was still hurting and there was NO WAY I was going to have my celebratory spin for the album take place while sober, so I said FUCK IT and smoked up what was left on the foil from that 2nd patch we never finished.

Except one of my pals had apparently finished it off before leaving me to my vomitous fate, so I got nothin'.

No smoke, no taste, no smell, no high...no nothin'.

OR SO I THOUGHT!!!

A minute later I felt as though I might as well have been shot with smack, ffs...just like I felt when we'd smoked a whole blob of the stuff.

Did I mention this shit's a HUNDRED times stronger than MORPHINE?

Yeah.

Still, I was a bit confused.

I'd done heroin, I'd done morphine, I'd done all sorts of shit like that and never gotten THAT sick before.

But after a while I cleaned everything up, found the patches, and realized they were both 72-HOUR time-release doses of transdermal Fentanyl...which we'd smoked TWO of in about an hour.

That's enough to kill "breakthrough pain" for almost a solid WEEK!!!

It also occurred to me that while I was cutting open the patches to smoke them I accidentally got some of the Fentanyl concentrate directly on my fingertip.

And then licked it off.

Haha, didn't really think much of it at the time, but -- in hindsight -- all of a sudden IT ALL MADE SENSE.

I would NOT recommend doing that.

O_O




So there.

Thread = bumped.

Proceed.

I've never really experienced Drinking abuse or Substance abuse, since I know my limits when it comes to drinking alcohol and I've never taken drugs. So I have no experience in Substance use. Although, I might have abused alcohol slightly a few times.

I remember going to Intrepid Fox by myself a few months back and I decided to check out the bar where I had two glasses of beer (I think I had one glass of Budweiser and one glass of Kronenbourg 1664, if I remember correctly). Afterwards when I got back home, I had a huge headache and when I went online I was unable to write properly on facebook and I almost typed in gibberish, where I couldn't read people's comments properly lol.

Another time was last August after receiving my A Level results, to celebrate it I got 1 large bottle of Budweiser all for myself. Later, I wasn't able to keep my balance properly. I suppose it is alcohol abuse in a way but I've never been really drunk to the point where I sing like a mad man or do crazy shit like some people do when they are completely out of their heads.

[Cringeon]

Be careful with those glasses of beer ... walking on the wild side ;)

So now that I am finally employed, I think I owe myself a long overdue bag of chron. I need to get blissfully high right about now :P

[ThreeEyedGod]

love getting super fucked after I get a new job to celebrate that no drug test was required!

[Dope Box]

I haven't indulged in any substance abuse in a long time now, but that post by Haz is fucking priceless! Perhaps I will get drunk tomorrow night on the condition that my preferred company agrees.

[Joker]

I am very drunk tonight. That is all.

[twiggysrabies]

Got high for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Don't see the big deal, haha. Buuuut, that's just me. :D Enjoy yourselves kids.

[Cringeon]

Tequila flows like a river into my belly >:D
