I like weed, and I've smoked/vaped a lot of opium. True, weed makes you paranoid and maybe a bit antisocial. The paranoia is mostly about getting caught, and the antisocial is from anxiety about people seeing you when you're blazed as fuck. If you can deal with those they aren't issues. And for one thing, weed always has about the same effect and there's no withdrawals. Opium can be nice, but sometimes it makes me irritable, especially that weird feeling you get with your teeth. I've been in the hospital for stitches and have been on morphine and its a similar feeling, its kinda nice but at the same time it has this weird edge to it I just don't like. I don't like vicodin either for the same reason. Its like your brain feels "tight" and it isn't much of a pleasant feeling. For me anyways, weed > opiates.
Used to love opiates, never really enjoyed weed unless i got a stomach ache from too much OC back in the day.
Man im not certain about this, but i think some people have some kind of deficiency of receptors in their brains that causes them to not get the same effect from opiates that other people get.
There's nothing in the world I love more than opiates but I've always hated weed. I pretended to enjoy it when I was in high school I never smoke these days; I simply don't enjoy it. I'll pretty much do anything except smoke weed, though I wish it wasn't the case haha if only a blunt could satisfy me.
Hi. I am 26. From age 13 -18 I smoked M a lot. I developed panic attacks, paranoia, and feeling like I was dying from the high of pot and even tried smoking it again and again to see if it was just a bad experience related to what I smoked. I finally said fuck this. I did Morphine needle around Oct 2005. I then used H in early 07?/08. Not sure. I love H and although I know drugs can be a bad road for people- It is what it is. I find H to be the best drug for me. Pills with opiates in them are something I don't like, either, because I get agitated when I come down. H is the only thing I can ride out and enjoy every last minute of it, with no severe agitation from coming down. I do like my pot friends though. Just don't smoke it near me!:sunny:
I've heard a few people say this, and in general it just isn't true. Maybe that's how it is for some sketched out kids smoking behind the dumpster at CVS or in their parent's house, but real weed anxiety has more to do with self consciousness and being concerned with how others perceive you, something that is just as likely to happen in situations where everyone else is stoned and there's no chance of getting caught/arrested. You didn't say this, but another idea that is common among 'weed heads' is that "weed doesn't make you anxious; if you're already anxious, weed just exacerbates it" which is also nonsense. I like weed but it is a paranoiac drug at it's very core, which is why for many people it's one of the worst drugs there is for social situations. Plenty of times I've been in a perfectly easygoing mood which was abruptly plunged into acute hyper-awareness by three hits off a joint.
I'm an occasional opiate user (3-4 times a month) and I cannot stand weed. I used to be a regular opiate user (3-4 times a day) and I hated weed as well. Before opiates I used to smoke weed daily and enjoyed it thoroughly. Seems weed started to give adverse effects after I began using opiates on a regular basis, and just continued with those effects.
