It wasn't fun fuzzy like after a few glasses of wine, it was like the feeling you have with a fairly high fever from a flu. Not something I'd want to seek out.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

So he hadn't been taking anything prior to surgery.
Which means no withdrawal, which is a good thing in my book!
No idea how I'm related to him.
Man, no kidding. I am ALL ABOUT painkillers.

Because books.

Like I said, I already called dibs on any leftovers.
The only drawback of opiates for me is itching. Otherwise, they work just fine, thanks. Very pleasant. And initially less sleepy than with anything herbal.

Me too!

Opiates kind of string me out and make me jittery, rather than sleepy, 99% of the time. Weird as hell.

They make me happy and energetic and *really* talkative at first.
Wow, I sound like a junkie, don't I? But this is why I've never tried other drugs I suspect I would like too much.
It's also why Teppy and I should probably not be put in charge of the pharmacy on Buffista Island, clearly.

brenda: [link] look for "Antitumor activity" about halfway down. Looks like preclinical studies only, so, interpret that as you see fit, I guess.

Is anyone aware of weed being used to slow the growth of cancer?
There are a few mouse and in vitro studies [link] that indicate antitumor effects.
Opiates had more of a fun factor for me when I was taking them less often.

I used to worry about that until on day four of post-surgery vicodin I was practically crying from being so stupid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It had me pondering the red head pain weirdness thing again. I thought it was just that they can need more anesthesia. Turns out is more like "climate change" than "global warming." It's not just one thing is out of whack, the whole system is fercockta - some pain is felt more, some less, medications are screwy... weird stuff.
My niece is like this. Very high pain tolerance, natural carrot top. But she's bald from alopecia, so you wouldn't know she was a redhead.
Oxycodone etc doesn't do anything good for me that Tylenol doesn't do with fewer side effects.
