Rent it before you do it. The film even has a cameo from the Poet Laureate of Heroin William Burroughs.
This is the pain drug given to terminal cancer patients. It's highly effective for pain and addiction will set in very rapidly if taken regularly. Tolerance also sets in quick so the dosage must soon also be upped for continued efficacy. The addiction is considered a non-issue for terminal cancer patients due to the "terminal" aspect as they will usually be dead soon anyway. Keep these facts in mind if you want to try it.
I have an aversion to the opiates for my own personal reasons but I saw my dad recently after hernia surgery and they gave me a rundown on the drugs used on him before I took him home. They gave him fentanyl for the big knock out of both consciousness and pain.
But he came to his senses much quicker than I had three years prior when given 50mg of demerol for similar purposes (wisdom tooth extraction). I think fentanyl hits with a wallop but then also recedes with less residual overtones. I'd probably try one of the lollipops if I could get one but would not want a big supply knowing the addictive potential of most opiates.
My dad won't even take drugs when prescribed to him so he gave me the whole bottle of vicodin they gave him for post hernia surgery pain. I only took some recenly when I got jabbed by a painfully poisonous plant but the rest of the bottle will wait now for pain that's beyond the scope of ibuprofin.
Once when badly burned I realized that morphine had "fun potential" but still only took it when the burning sensations became unbearable.
For me opiates are really for bad pain only. I do know that some poeples pain isn't physical but those who take it for such reasons seem to often be helpless when it comes to addiction.
PS. Anyone have any news of Humidbeing and the outcome of his xanax inspired sleepwalk to the local mom&pop pharmacists? I halfway suspected that he was caught doing a sleepwalkers version of drugstore cowboy.
