I recently found this story: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=26640 and was wondering if anyone else has experience with these herbs. I have been using them for a few weeks in the form of a "memory boosting" tincture from a local herbalist, as well as a general health tonic called "Multivital" by an Australian company called Greenridge".
Although it hasn't been helping me lower my doses (well I haven't tried lowering my doses anyway), I have been noticing way less negative effects from poppy seed tea (nausia and that "dislocated" feeling you get the day after a big dose).
I'm also wondering if anyone knows about the effect of ginseng on opioids. I've heard it lowers the analgesic effects, which would probably also lower the euphoric effects, I'm guessing.

hey,
Isn't Erowid's site wicKed! it's an amazing source of both technical info and even more important I think to me, actual 1st hand experiences for everything under the rainbow.

As for potentiators to and for opiates, I've been looking for a few good ones to go with my oxys and hydromorphs with varying motivation over the past year. I've only tried one since I had it for mood enhancing/nerve calming but it was 5 HTP, which is suppose to have some varying eurphoric effects or whatever on its own. I think it added a little boost of that all over fuzzy good feeling but it could have been a placebo effect since it was pretty slight. 5 HTP effects the part of the brain that releases seratonin (i suck at spelling these fancey names etc :) and the naturopath at the health food store said it was banned for sale in the states i think becuz of what it does and was made illegal. so naturally i hooked up!
its great on its own for calming anxious dayz and generally making you feel good. But back to the point here...I"m sure theres a few choice things you can take to help boost your opiates and their favoured effects but i haven't come over anything worth writing home to mom about yet.
I read elsewhere on this site i think that elkaselser (again sp im sure) really boosted your oxy buzz or anything ant-acid like. not sure why but if i find that thread again I'll letcha know the details.

I've been reading the natural/plant/herb section on erowid looking for even something that generates the same eurphoric fuzzy, tingly feel good feeling we've all come to love and obsess over in our opiates. theres quite a few leads online if you q-in the right phrases into webcrawler or google but I'm sure theres sumthing out there natural/plant wise that will make us feel that good besides the equally addicting opium poppy. or sumthing that will make my 80mg oxy feel even half as good again as it did the first day i tried one!

why did god/goddess make it sooooo hard to find a way to feel that good everyday at least once, like after you've done all your responsible stuff of course, without such serious bullshit like physical addiction and a tolerence level you cant escape!
I dont know where or what it is but if theres sumthing out there I"m gonna find it dammit!
and if we all work together we're sure to succedd right?

ah fuck it...wheres my oxys and my shot glass...
