Tell me about your experience with morphine. My son had it when his knee was dislocated. As you know, he has autism and in all honesty, the morphine seemed to give him clarity of mind.
Mostly it made me tired but coming off of it was the worse.
It was a combination of lethargy and agitation. All my limbs felt heavy as if I was tied to the bed. I could barely pick myself up BUT I was hyper agitated like I had drunk 20 double espressos.
Then the nightmares would come.
The first one wasn't so bad. I dreamt I came home and found 2 mafia toughs in my house. I chased them out into the street, caught one and proceeded to heel stomp him. I remember being rather surprised at my degree of ruthlessness but that was about it.
The 2nd trip to the hospital and attending withdrawals was the worse. I dreamt I was tied to a chair with my hands behind my back and my ankles ties to the legs. I was in a room total bare and my wife was lying dead in the distant corner. Right in front of me was the killer, straddling my son--who was 2 y/o at the time--hacking pieces out of his face with a butcher's knife.
I woke-up in tears and it took a long time not to tear-up whenever I thought about it.
The 3rd time I went to the hospital the ulcer/pancratitis was so bad I had a spastic colon and bleeding from areas that shouldn't bleed but I refused all opiates. Ditto when I jacked-up my shoulder last year (although toradol is some goo-o-o-ood shit).
If medical marijuana was as strictly regulated as Morphine was, then I'd be more about supporting it. But in a lot of places it's so damn easy to get, it might as well be OTC.
No arguments here.
