I myself use to be kind of strung out on the 'stronger' opiates myself. I was self-medicated back then, it was easier than going to the doctor and jumping thru their hoops. It was strange that here I moved to New Mexico to get away from all that. Hell, they had a better selection there. Stuff I was use to in Cali,, same amount wood kill ya there. Every now and then they wood get some shit we called 911 because of the people it dropped. Man, people wood trip over their own feet to get some 'killer' shit. I can't say real bad things about it at the time, I was first in line.
Was this one guy that was a good dude,, but he let everyone party at his place. I know 3 people that died at his place. No telling how many OD's. I think that boy kept Narcan on tap. I've been off it forever. But it is sad when a person with a legitimate problem, hell I even had x-rays of a fusion of C-6 C-7. But it was easier for me to self-medicate than try to work with what the doctors wanted to do. Then you get some fool walk out with enough to overdose a horse and they really have nothing wrong. Because of the way I carried myself, and my style of life, leathers, long hair, and scooters, they assumed I was hustling them for a script. I always ask myself a question, what is a doctor for?
Oh well,, just babbling. Hopefully, the dope fiends will find another place. Yea I said dope fiends, because even tho I been there, is afew that are what I call, a functional addict, that bothers no one. I worked everyday, had my own painting biss, and was buying a home. And I was over 150$ aday, going out on BS. I finally found a doctor willing to work with me, and was time to quit. Man that was a hard one.. I don't see me ever doing without something to help with pain, but I can say I'm dwn to something manageable.
