    Yep, dangerous stuff. I once had some minor surgery done. Afterwards I was sitting outside in a patient waiting room in a bed waiting for the drugs to stop working.

    I brought my laptop and watched some episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was hilarious and super comfortable.

    I can never do that again, it’s obviously super addictive. The medical professionals are right in being really strict when giving out opiates in my country.

      Apparently people’s responses in this situation are a good indication of their vulnerability to addiction in general.

      Anecdotally it makes sense. I’ve had morphine multiple times (after accidents) and found it meh. I certainly wasn’t asking for more. It so happens that I hardly ever drink and I’ve never done drugs of any kind or even wanted to*, despite having no moral objections to them and being around a ton of people who do them all.

      *Okay, except psychedelics.
