I bring to you a tale of opiate (ab)use and a highly detailed run down of the previous days events and hope it will be interesting for you guys to read and perhaps serve as a warning (although common sense would have resulted in the following from not happening.)
I recently returned from a 3 week trip to New Brunswick and for those 3 weeks I had absolutely no drugs or even cigs and coffee. It was a great experience though and let me gain many awsome experiences that I will not soon forget.
After the trip I returned to Vancouver B.C. and have been back for a cpl weeks and decided that getting some opiates may be a nice treat. :D
Previously I would take my opes in many different ways. Oxy I almost exclusively ate, Dilly (Hydromorphone) I would either snort or bang depending on my mood and the amount that I had and Morphine I would exclusively bang.
I was never and am still not physically dependent on opiates and I would take them maybe about once a week on rare occasions two times a week. I also liked them but really just saw them as a way of celebrating life here and there and enjoying. I am proud that I never have relied on drugs as means of coping or feeling good and have considered just stopping before that ever changes.
To appreciate my stupidity and the intensity of what was about to happen I suppose listing my privious dossages would be a good plan.

When I had no tolerance 10mg oral oxy would do it nice and 30 would be temporary euphoric transcendence. Dilly I would snort around 4 - 6 mgs and I could very well end up hugging the toilet for a cpl hrs but it was all very wonderful.
I eventually tried Iving the drugs. I would shoot at first 4 mgs dilly and thatd be amazing. Before I left for my 3 week trip though I would shoot between 12 - 24 mgs of hydromorphone and thatd be a good high or I would cook up a 100mg ethix brand morphine with all the little beads. The day before I left I ate 10 percocet 5's and shot a whole 100mg morphine and that was about perfect. Looking back I think I may of had a natural high tolerance.
Fast forward to yesterday, around 4 weeks of no drugs and a desire to get high I took sky train to the Downtown East side in Vancouver and in front of the community center began inquiring about picking up some oxy dilly or morphine. The prices in Vancouver are often ridiculously good:) Oxycontin 80mg's the brand name CDN ones are never more than $30.00 and commonly go for as low as twenty bucks a piece

. Dilaudid pills made by Abbot Laboratories are sold for $5.00/4mg and the most common pills found are the 8mg ones. Morphine varies in form but mostly the kadian or ethix brands are what is available. The Morphine pills sell for $10.00 per 100mg, what you generally find (and what I found that day) are the 100mg Ethix pills that have lots of tiny beads in them. When you cook thme they get gummy but you can get sevral good washes out of them.
All this aside I managed to get my hands on 4 3mh hydromorphone capsules that had the little beads (these aren't liked very much so I got them for only 7 bucks) I also bought 8 T3's, 3 brand name dilly 8's and a 100mg Ethix Morphine.
When I got all my stuff I decided to talk to some of the homeless people and I bought a cpl large pizza's to give out which they seemed to be genuinely grateful for and this just made me even more happy and I knew that this combined with the drugs I would soon be taking would make for a great time. After handing out the Pizza I bought a package of cigarettes and headed off to insite.
Insite is a medium sized one floor building that has been converted into Canada's first and only safe injection site. Apart from giving out limitless rigs, condoms and paraphernalia for free they get you to register a handle with them and than you can go in whenever and under the staff's supervision fix up whatever you want all while taking as long as you want. They also have a chill lounge with couches and chairs where you can get free coffee and juice. The also have drugs and equipment to resuscitate you should you overdose.
I took my drugs and a slice of pizza of to Insite and gave them my handle "Nod-Addicted". There was no wait today so I was in immediately. I decided I would inject all the 12mg of hydromorph from the caps that had the beads. I smashed the beads cooked them up, registered a vain and shot it all, it was good but I didn't get it all so I did a wash and was officially now high. I figured that I would have felt a little more than I did after 4 weeks of nothing but I find that after the initial rush with hydromorphone the main high takes it's time to set in. I decided to walk outside for a nice session of chain smoking.
I have no idea how long I was outside for but it must have been less than 10 minutes. I was buzzing VERY nicely on the 12 mg of hydromorphone but I was by NO MEANS nodding. I forgot to mention, I had also eaten 7 T3 pills (30mg codeine a piece) about 5 min before shooting the hydromorphone. What happened next is what made this already pleasing and interesting day just a little less pleasing but far more interesting.
I was walking back to insite and in front of the door one guy was about to spark a joint. I had not smoked weed in about 3 or so months prior to this and I find weed fucks me up good with tactile hallucinations and audio distortions that one may have on mushrooms or acid. I smoke about 3/4 of a joint and am not VERY fucked up but enjoying it.
When I got back into the injecting room I immediately cook up a whole 16 MGS of brand name hydromorphone and slam it all home. I will not try to describe the rush :D

I sat in my chair for a bit and than a fantastic and common sense inspired decision crosses my mind

. You guessed it, not even 5 min had passed and I was going to inject the last dilly 8 pill. I register blood push off and I once again trapped in a 2 min trip to the outter reaches of heaven.
As I said good bye to the staff at insite I realised that everything was so blurry that I could hardly see strait and I could not walk. I could stumble but really it was worse then being very drunk. The staff asked me to hang in the chill for a bit to ensure I was ok and to have 2 cups of coffee. I got the coffee but couldn't walk back ot my seat. I mumbled praise and thanks to anyone who so much as looked at me and eventually finished the coffee's after about 30 min.
I left Insite higher than I had ever been on opiates and without any real idea of what to do began roaming the east side of Vancouver. It felt like I was in a benzo black out and I remember only bits and pieces of what happened but what I do remember included the following.
I was walking and it occurred to me to sing. I can't sing well and I was singing non sense like "I like letter F because it is the best I am singing and yo can't stop the test, just take my test LA LA LA LA LA now I walk do not drop the eggs or the will smash like glass , I know I can't sign please don't kick my ass". I was oblivious to the people around me and once I commented to these two middle aged females that there white shirts make them look like Klan members and some random lady yelled at me so I apologized and wished them a pleasant day. I than also rember swearing randomly and loudly just shouting things out like "Fuck this and that and all who are fat you Cunt bitch of a prat slime bag cock ball breaking cunt bitch". Than I would realize parents with little kids would be staring at me open mouthed and I would apologize. I am guessing the weed was respnsible along with the opiates for making me oblivious to what was going on around me and making up stupid songs and such.
Singing aside I decided I was tired (no shit, I was on a borderline OD of a nod) so I tried finding a park to lay down in. The park I was searching for should of taken only 5 min to get to but I was so high that I didn't even really realize where I was and I couldn't see very well. As for walking, I couldent walk strait so I sort of side shuffeled everywhere and crashed into many stop lights and signs in plain view of everyone out that day.
Things eventualy started getting out of hand, I was so high on opaites and so confussed due to the weed that I just laid down in the middle of a side walk and tried to go to sleep, I woke up on a patch of grass with a number of people I didn't know asking me questions. The paramedics must of been called, they asked me what I had taken and checked my vital signs. I told them that I trust them and wont try to run away so they let go of my arm. Eventually I was put into an ambulance and they said if I did not stop nodding off they would have to hit with with naloxone (or Narcan or w/e it is called).
In the ambulence they told me I was going to the hospital and that they had now decided to use some narcan on me. They gave me a IM shot and ina few minutes I felt the high dissapearing. I am lucky I am not physicaly hooked to these drugs or I can immagine that it would have sucked. Anyways, in the hospital I was examined checked out and lectured aobut maybe ont using again and released.
After all this the realization of what I had been doing came crashing down on me and all I could do was light a cigarette and laugh nervously to myself. I also realised that I had a whole 100mg Morphine left over and decided WTH.
I went to Insite and also picked up 10mg of sandoz instant release oxycodone. I cooked up the morphine nad shot it all and than the oxy. I probably got far less than 100mg of morphine though as I did not do any washes.
All that happened after this is my buddy cmae down and we were caught chilling in an ally by the cops. They arrested me for being there and allthough I pointed out that I was doing nothing wrong they took me to the station and searched me finding nothing. My dad was called but he did not know about the hospital or anything and after I talked to the cop for a bit he stopped being a prick (the cop). In fact, the cop said I was one of the most interesting youth he had ever picked up and had I not been visibly high he would have wanted to take me with him to go grab a coffee
In the end, I had a magnificent sleep filled with deep and realistic dreams. I smoked a few more cigs all of which were wonderful but above all, I learned a great lesson and I hope maybe some of you can learn without making the same mistakes that I did. No high, none is worth risking death for. I could of easily been hit by a car, gotten beat up by someone who didn't like how I was acting, or done something stupid like fall asleep where no one would have seen me and got the paramedics. I feel like a used condom for causing unnecessary strain on the medical system and for wasting the polices time. It was not unenjoyable but I felt bad both becasue I was so fucking stupid and also because I probably ruined a few peoples day such as the parents with 5 - 7 yr olds who I was yelling curse words near.
After all this though I have a few questions. With dosses like I took given my 4 weeks of nothing and my privious tollerences, would I have likely died had I gone ot sleep without anyone noticing?
Also, I am now not going to use any drugs for a solid 2 months, what would my opiate tolerance be like after that. I know that is not easy to answer but after 2 months would i almost be like I had never done them before or would like 10mg of oxy get me really high again? What about simply shooting as little as 4 mg dilly? I appreciate any help I recieve here and just want to remind people to use responsibly and not put yourself or others at risk.
