Your first taste of bliss?

[drugsaregood]

What was the first opiate\opiod you used? Vicodin here, got a small script for some minor surgery. And yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be alot not covered in this poll, so reply with what it was. :P

p.s.: opiophile and all of it's user rule the internets.

[Rent]

Tussionex, liquid gold heaven. My old doctor had no problem giving me HUGE bottles of it biweekly. After a few weeks I was hooked

[Black_Pony]

Hydro, of course! Pop a couple yellow ones before a night at the club and drink like a champ all night.

Those were the days... Anyway, I think I'll go huddle in the bathroom corner again and jab myself a few more times. Bye.

:o

[RxQueen]

probably T3's after some minor surgery, late 70's/early 80's.

[trainwrecker]

My first opiate was hydrocodone, but that wasn't all that blissfull. My first real taste of bliss was my first packet of heroin.

I still remember the experience quite clearly, which is odd because it happened 6 years ago and I was so fuckkered up it's amazing I remember anything. I sniffed half a packet and was straight up to cloud 9. Some people say it's bullshit; what they say about junkies constantly trying to achieve that first high from heroin all over again(and die trying(wah wah wah...)). But it is true that my first time was something that inspired me to take up junk full time.

16,,, very first shot
bam heroin
gotta love that shit

[amurderinblack]

Paregoric. :rolleyes:

For those of you now going 'wtf?', see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paregoric .

That was a long time ago...I think I was five. Got it for intestinal cramps, my mom had to end up hiding it.

[flipside]

Heroin here too. as in first tate of bliss. Oh pure heavenly bliss. Don't count the pharms I had when I was younger cause they were RX'd and really did not give me any bliss? Just took away the pain.

Oops I lied qualudes were my first bliss. Don't think that was on the poll so I answered what there was.

Back to the H Funny how the one thing that gave me absolute bliss turned around and gave me absolute hell. Wierd how that how that works. Heh

[Sitar]

Representin' Tramadol here. I don't know if I'd call that "bliss", but it was the first opioid I tried.

I can't believe Codeine isn't on the list. That's an obvious and common opiate that I'll bet a lot of people had first.

[tasteuvheaven]

mine was percocet...and believe it or not it was only in 2004, when i was pregnant with my son. they gave it to me for gallstones because i was basically starving myself with being in so much pain. the first attack i had i was laying on the couch crying, my mother kept tellin me "take a pill, it will help you" to be honest i was a non believer. i said to myself, i was in so much pain nothing could take it away. i never knew nothing about pain pills...finally it got sooo bad i took one, and kept asking her while i was crying, when is it going to work, when is it going to work...she kept telling me that i would know when it starts to work, and i sure as the fuck did. i was on cloud nine, had to have hubby come carry me upstairs because i couldnt walk. (its amazing how one little 5 mg pill had that effect, wish i could get it again) i was so blasted he went out with his friend around 11pm, and i was still sitting on the bed talking to myself at 430 am when he arrived back home. when i first started taken the pills they made me all lovey dovey...now i dont even know what the word sex means anymore,lol. anyways, those were the days...ahhh~

[tui]

i had my first shot of h as a teenager, wasn't impressed at all... until years later, and after some effed up things had happened in my life. then it was like a whole new drug. amazing.

i think you need pain to really appreciate a painkiller.

[soulninja]

My first was a percocet ,i was 15.I remember feeling like a million fuckin bucks and been chasin that ever since.

[mrnatural]

Didn't know what it was, it was back in the 50's, but my mom had a big 16oz bottle of paregoric (tincture of opium) in the kitchen cabinet. Most common complaint when the kids didn't want to go to school was, "my stomach hurts." Stuff stayed up there more like a threat cause the response was, "let's take some medicine and see if it helps." Tasted god awful to us kids, who really had sweet teeth (sweet tooths?). I found myself digging it though cause it seemed to bolster my courage and I could go to school and face those seemingly insurmountable problems I didn't want to face. Started taking doses on my own when I was about ten. Not till I was 15 did I dip a Salem in it, let it dry overnight and smoke it my first chance. Had no idea why I would have such vivid, technicolor dreams until I wised up the next year and got turned on to Coleridge and "Kubla Khan" in lit at school. Was a shame when you started having to sign for it (over 18, only four oz at a time) at the drugstore. Haven't seen it in years, but each time I see Paregoric Kid post, it brings on the good memories

[dannydanko420]

When I first hurt my back about 5yrs ago they started me out on Vic's and tramadol. They also gave me darvocet too for a while but I had a script for Vic's for 3yrs then they started to change my meds. When I first got that taste of bliss is when I got prescribed Fentanyl Patches. Man those were the shit especially cuz I had no pain for like three days then I put a new patch on and again had no pain. I also had Perc's at that time for breakthrough pain. Then came Oxycontin. Man when I was prescribed that It was heaven and hell in one pill. I would do like 120mgs a day to take away my pain, I would have to do more to get high. Miss those days :rolleyes:

[Woowoo]

Just like me, but I was 19. You fuck around with opiates, and sooner or later you're jackin' heroin, so why pussyfoot around with all the in-between steps, ya know?

[drugsaregood]

I would have posted codeine along with other opiates however the poll was limited to 10 options. :(

[matfield]

heroin shot, 19y.o. BLISS....! still chasin that first one:rolleyes:

[DarthPerineum]

vics were my first! its been a rush of opiates ever since!

[stringbeanjeans]

It's really tough to remember my first time now. it feels so long ago. Nodding out after a Vicodin on my friends couch while watching late night music videos is a pretty good memory. Not sure if that was the first time though. We would all kill for that tolerance again...

[Seedy]

Well I voted pods/seeds but now I think about it codiene was my first taste. I've always been accident proned, I was a crazy kid, always climbing stuff and jumping off things and hurtling down hills on my bike or sketeboard so naturally I broke a few bones. It never occurred to me to take a few extra codienes until my late teens when I decided drugs weren't so bad after all. 120mgs of codiene (prescribed for a broken wrist- you have to be practically dead to be prescribed anything better than codiene in New Zealand) got me feeling real nice. I actually enjoyed watching a lame school play. Kind of lucky for me the interweb was in it's infancy at the time and I didn't learn about CWE's and poppy tea until my mid 20's.

[bronyraur]

Percocet was my first opiate. Got a few off a friend and I'd eat them during school to pass the time.

[Dan Steely]

Two first times.

First time I had a ear ache that kept me up all night waiting for the dr office to open. Just sat there all night sayin Fuck!
My gf said it was like I had teretts. Those vikes I finally got saved my ass and I went to do an estimate floating around until I told the customer I'd have to do it another time cause I couldn't think straight. Later that night I was laying in bed and the itchies felt like a million spiders so I put them in the med cab for 4 yrs until I broke my little toe.

Out come the vikes I'd been sittin on for 4 years and floating around the grocery store made me decide that
"I could get used to this" and I did. Here I am a year later and I'm totally convinced that this is the life for me. So far its been well worth the prices I pay to feel the way I do most of the time.

Thank Bi11i and Jacky I've had this place to help me navigate these tricky waters and lead me to all these awesome people many of which I consider to be my very good friends and one in particular who has forever changed the direction of my life. I think it's called providence.

omfg thats some funny shit, a freind of mine said when chasing dragons, u should put a coin in ur mouth that stops u puking or something is that true?

[Dan Steely]

omfg thats some funny shit, a freind of mine said when chasing dragons, u should put a coin in ur mouth that stops u puking or something is that true?

Absolutely true. Saved my ass plenty of times. Did you know that sending me some of your pills everytime you score will make sure you never go through withdrawl. It's a little known secret actually. Ask my buddy soul ninja. He'll vouch for me. Some sorta karma thing. I swear! You should try it. I promise. I prefer the brand name oc but anything will probably work ok.

[MttJocy]

I took some serious injuries in a car accident, the hospital pumped my vein full of morphine, that was the first time I had any opiate, shame that one would have to shoot up to ever feel that good again, I've nodded enough times since, but the rush I had when they shot me up with that was something else.

[Seedy]

So you're only a year in, bro? It's good that you've still got a posative attitude about the whole situation. I'm sure I'd stil be happy about 4 years into my addiction if it wasn't for the legality issues and the general misconceptions about 'people like us'. And I also thank the opiophile; founders, mods and members. I'm glad I'm not alone.

[Zoops]

Pretty much blew through the responses. My experience is a little bit like others' experiences, a little different too. These kinds of surveys are fun, but there is always at least one item left off the list. At least this particular one has "other" and that's the one I picked - BECAUSE - I can't remember where + when my first beautiful communion with the creator's gift to our unworthy human monkey race was! It was when I was 15 years old. which would put the experience(s) in the year 1986 (I'd warrant that's befor somma yall wuzza twinkle in yo deddy eye, know mee? ) ennyway, it was either at my Grandma's house for easter in 1986. right after she had gall bladder removal surgery. I went to the bathroom and looked in the medicine cabinet - percocet: take 1 tablet every 4 hours for pain" about 20 tablets. I took half of 'em, thinking two would get me off. I had read a book recently that got me hip to the drug names and what types of drugs was good. It was called White Rabbit which was a story written about a junkie's experience in medical school. Hardcore dope (mostly) junky, but into amphetamines too (like me). She graduated and became a medical doctor. Probably more than just me who has heard of this book. What ever happened to this woman? She keepin on trucking? She go straight? O.D. and die? well, anyway I knew percocet was pretty good pain medicine.

Took about 10 of them and next evening hanging out with my buds, smokin buds and drinkin buds (NO, probably wasn't drinkin budweisers, more like Milwaukees Best - that was for real the one we always drank. Well after errybuddy was a little buzzed from smokin a couple bowls, I broke out the perckies. I took two, and handed two to two other people and said we should wait about 30min and then take another. Thirty minutes later, only one dude turned down the third tablet. We were feeling a feeling at about that time that basically got recorded and put into a little momento locket that is kept in the darkest corner of my conciousness. I open it up and look at it every once in a while.


The other incidence that I can't remember which was first was when I with my mom and dad down in Alabama. My dad's parents initially came to northern virginia from Tuscaloosa Alabama for work during the late '40's, as a stenographer with the U.S. Capitol. My dad grew up his whole life in Annandale, VA My parents met while my dad was working at the George Mason College Bookstore when my mom went in there to buy some books. O.K., I digress, so after my dad's dad retired as a Congressional stenographer, he and granny moved back to glorious Tuscaloosa Alabama. Granny and Granddad moved back to 'Bama when I was only about 5 years old. so I remember the yearly (during the Summer) drive down to Alabama. Getting up at 5am and eating donuts in the car. FUN!

Well, fast forward until I am 15 years old. Parents had divorced the preceding year. I was going down to see granny and granddad with my dad and his new fiance`. It was a nice visit because I hooked up with my 16 year old cousin and one of her alabama girl friends. I digress,

found some darvocet-N-100 in Granny's medicine chest and took four. Went on hike with dad and retired USMC Colonel uncle. Both of the "first time" experiences I have described were great, but I juss can't think which happened actually first. Definitely within a six-month period.

[devilsdrug]

when my momma was force feedin codeine cough syrup down my gullet

[Chipper]

Morphine ampules when I was sixteen. Hot lead, i remember thinking that it felt like hot lead through my veins

[Rhonda]

Percocets, I think it was percocets. I didnt used to pay much attention to what was in the bottle. doctor says take these and youll feel better.... whatever they were I sure did feel better :)

[corkyusmc]

I was badley abused by my stepfather from the age of 12 till I turned 17. I made my mom sign the papers so I could go. She had nowhere to go. We were poor. About 2 and 1/2 weeks after my 17th birthday I joined the Marine Corps. I loved it! Not at first very much, it was extremely hard. A band of Brothers. The Corps is exactly that. I served in combat in operation "Urgent Fury" , the invasion of Grenada and I was in Beirut Lebanon In 1983. That one was tough duty. I was fearless. At least I thought so. The truth is that I was young and thought nothing could ever hurt me.
It was a warm night in October of 1985. I was at Fort Bragg North Carolina on a live fire field exercise. All of a sudden lightning began to crack everywhere. We went down into a valley to get to lower ground. It still was hitting very close. It was splitting trees right down the middle. I took out my Zippo and lit a nice juicy Marlboro, then everything turned white. I started falling in slow motion. The first thing that came to my mind was some stupid S.O.B. shot me in the head! Then I smelled burning flesh and burning hair. My left hand and right foot was burning like crazy. I still did not know what the deal was. I was laying on the ground and I felt pins and needles from my neck down. They threw my in a military truck and we bounced down those old dirt roads to the hospital. It was at least 20 to 30 miles away. We were very far out in the bush back in the live firing range. I was hurting like hell.
When we got to the hospital they cut all of my close off and examined me. I had a entry wound in my left hand about the size of a dime. I had an exit wound in my right heel about the same size. They put an EKG machine on me and I went to the ICU. About three hours later I started to pass out in my bed while I was laying down. I had a AV Block. I was transferred to the Marine Hospital at Camp Lejeune North Carolina a few days later.
At Camp Lejeune they made me wear a heart monitor for a long time. I felt good. I thought I was going to be just fine. I was twenty years old. I was in top shape. I was promoted to Corproal and Sergeant Meritoriously. I re-enlisted for another tour. I was selected as Marine of the Month then selected as Marine of the Quarter. I have 8 medals that are combat related. I never was disaplined. I was a poster Marine and my carreer was set. My future in the Corps was going to be unbelievable! I though I was OK. I didn’t know how wrong I was. What was coming next was going to ruin my whole life. PAIN.Pain everywhere all the time constant. The kind of pain that you think is going to kill you. I mean really kill you. Your heart will give out or a blood vessle in your braon was going to blow. The kind of pain that your think suicide was the only relief.
The Navy Doc didn’t know what to do so she gave me 50MG Demerol TABS every 6 hours. They kept me in for two more years and then gave me a medical. 30% disability. That’s it 30%. I was so sick I couldn’t even fight it. I could not even leave the house. I went from poster Marine to barely functioning. I could not even hold down a job for more than a short period of time. Every doctor after that has treated me like shit. They get frustrated cause they don’t know what to do and too arrogant to say, "Cork I just don’t know what to do for you." They just make me feel guitly for being sick. I havn’t complained to anyone in 22 years. I have just tried to be a man and go to work and support my family myself and beat this thing on my own. I did not want a hand out. But now I have had it. I am at the end of my rope with the pain, the treatment from the doctors like I was faking all of this for fucking dope! I have memory loss, chronic pain, ADD, and very severe atypical depression from this injury. I am going to have to see my congressman. I applied for an inctrease in my benefit over 1 year ago from the VA. I have a letter from my coomander that was there telling the VA what happened and how bad I was then. Now he is a COL. I have a letter from a doctor and also a professor from the UPMC school of medicine saying that without question the lightning caused these injuries. The VA acts like they don’t believe me. It’s all documented. Sorry for so much bitching. It's just poeple who are in pain get screwed over and over. I've seen it done to so many other people too. It is sad.

Vicodin/Lortab here followed closely by Percocet and was that for years before others came along...;)

[ProdigalSon]

Ive been goin through my parents medicine cab since fith grade. Id imagine it was hydro

[The_Highwayman]

Hosptial was beinbg ad mitted to the ICU and whimped "i'm in pain" abnout a minute later they shot something in my IV prt and it was Dilaudid, god, I felt like I being slowly lowered into a small pool of jell-o, I thought i was in a Pink Floyd song LOL............

[mrklean]

my first opioid was porbably codeine maybe percocet.

[2HI2C]

My first one was Demeral, but I voted for morphine since that was BLISS and came only a few hours after getting several shots of crappy demeral that only made me vomit. Ohhhhh, if I could have walked out of hospital hooked up to one of those morphine pumps. That was my first REAL taste.

I had done all the other stuff, mj, hash, coke, acid, etc, but there was something different about morphine.

[OCfenatiq]

Ive been goin through my parents medicine cab since fith grade. Id imagine it was hydroSame here bro but it was about middle school when I started and you know what...I still do, haha... Every time I visit for family get-to-gethers or whatever I always check out the closet. Trust me they don't notice...They leave it on their dresser while taking then put in the closet when finished, so if its in the closet its as good as gone, hehe.... I know its kind of bad but oh well, sue me...

[SUBoxZERO]

The first time i ever tried and opiate was a 1200 actiq stick. I got it from this crazy terminally ill lady who i sold pot too. She gave me 1 and at the time i didn't really know what it was. She just told me they get you fucked up. man i was so floored. I remember my ex-girlfriend was so freaked out. she thought i was going to die. She knew i was on something and was about to call 911 but i told her to calm down i'm just drunk. hey if you're gonna do something do it BIG. thats what i always say

[(inaudible screams)]

In college I came down with something flu like. I had a temperature of 103 and it wasn't going down. I also had a crazy sore throat. I went to the ER in case my temperature went any higher. The doctor took a look my throat and saw large soars on it. I was only expecting some antibiotics, but he also gave me a script for vicodin. I spent the next few days high on hydro. This was the beginning.

I began searching for more. This was during the time that there were many online pharmacies. My favorite was Hydrocodone COD. Fill out the form online and it was sent overnight COD. It couldn't be any easier! I remember taking 3 norcos once and freaking out -- thinking I had ODd!

Fast forward to today - taking 10 norco at a time is considered a 'small amount.' 1000mcg of fentanyl is done in 24hrs. I used to puke from 100mcg. Now I do all 1000 and don't get high enough.

To this day, this best high I get is hydro. I just need to detox for a while and get my tolerance down.

.......love how the hydro tickles the brain. the best!

[jonny-5]

i was actually starting to become pretty addicted to uppers, mainly meth and coke but i was doing a bunch of ex at the time too. but then one night me and a couple friends snorted WAY too much coke before going into this jungle party thing in san diego and after 10 min we all felt like complete shit. all the way back to the car 2 hours later we still felt like SHIT. popped 3 vicodin ES's and it was fucking great. then i used em to come down from meth coke or E and then i said "fuck it, why not cut out the middle man and just eat the vicodin?" boom im an addict.

[smojo]

Vicodin...at 18, post-lumbar laminectomy...course they could've thrown sum at me the 3 years prior to my 1st surgery, I don't recall.

Yeah I started using opies regularly for coming down off uppers. Nice swap!

[dirtdog]

I had never taken pills, not even for a headache. I was in a car accident and that same night my ex bf at that time gave me 1/4 of an 80 OC and I was so fucked up I felt like that kid on trainspotting when he OD. Carpet all around you. Thankfully he jerked me around a couple of times and I snapped out of it.
Then I fucked all night long.
The following morning.
WHAT WAS THAT?! GET ME MORE NOW!
...
and the rest is history.

[Paregoric Kid]

you should've listed methadone, that was the fist one I did

[HandMeSomeOpiates]

Vicodin. I bet that was a lot of peoples first opiate(hence the poll stats)because 10-15 years ago the dea wasn't so strict about it. And doctors would give them out easier than morphine. My brother gave me a Lortab 7.5/500 watson my first time. I remember feeling AMAZING off 1 pill and from then on I knew this was my drug. And yes....I wish I had NEVER taken an opiate. But them woulda, coulda, shoulda's will kill ya.

[Ragdoll]

Valium and codeine. Way back...nearly thirty years ago.

[djsollest]

My first ever had to be back in High School i munched like 5 of the T3 codeines i was sooo faded~!~ then like 3 years later had my bad backcountry/snowboarding messup & killed my back... Started with the 20mg oxy to the 40mg now the 30mg IR's I like these 30's much more then the 40's... But I still think a strong cup O tea is my fave...

[Softball]

Generic oxy 5/325s, about 6 months ago.

They prescribed when I had 5 (five) wisdom teeth removed at once. At the time, I "wasn't going to be doing drugs" so I shelved the bottle and dealt with the pain. I stumbled upon the bottle when I recently decided it was time to start experimenting a bit. First night I took 1. Ehh, nothing too great. Second night I took 2. Ehhh...this is it? Third night, took 4. Holy fucking shit.

[oxyjon]

It all started with a script of percocet after an accident in highschool. I got home from the docs and mixed 3 percs with a bowl of weed. Pure bliss. Years later I got in my bad accident that left me with chronic pain every second of my life. They started me out with percs again. And eventually moved up to oxy contin and oxy ir as the drugs came to the market. The doctors said I would never walk again. Now that I have this medication I can function and even run at times. And did I mention the bliss? I love the bliss!

[Narkotikon]

Old poll / thread, but what the hell. I'm in a chatty mood.

Vicodin / Lorcet / Lortab - hydrocodone.

My middle sister broke her arm when I was 19. It was spring term in college, and I had already been trying other things with two ex-friends, like E, acid, K, shrooms, etc. Anyway, she was scripted 7.5mg Lorcets and the quanity was something insane, like 30 pills with two more refills. Anyway, she took maybe ten of them, and then set the rest up in her medicine cabinet. Then, a month or so later when I saw them there, I took I think 12 of them, and took those back to my dorm room. At first I took one, and didn't really feel anything, so I took two more, and then I noticed it. It was nice. It wasn't great, but it was nice. I should have taken five at once or something like that looking back.

Then it progressed from there.

More hydrocodone and oxycodone hanging out at gay clubs when I took time off from college, although coke was my go-to drug back then.

Then, when I went back to college, and was cut off from connections in Cincinnati, I found that if I complained of pain or cough (usually cough) I could get scripted hydrocodone at college, usually Tussionex, from the student health center. I'm surprised they didn't think I had lung cancer or something. I mean, I was in there all the time for it. And I didn't really even have anything wrong with me. All I had to say was I had papers to write / exams to study for, had a bad cough, and couldn't sleep at night. They kept diagnosing me with allergies and would give me scripts for the cough syrup and suggestions to take Claritin or something like that. It was just way too easy.

Then, when I graduated, I discovered pods sold at Garden Ride, and bought all the ones in Lexington out, then worked my way to the stores in Louisville, Cincinnati, and Columbus. They don't sell them there anymore. Believe me, I've looked. So, I started ordering them on Ebay. That's when the physical addiction started. I first got sick in the fall of 2004. I'd say the psychological / craving part started back in college, although it wasn't as bad then and I didn't make that connection. Hell, the first time I was in w/d I didn't know what it was, until I posted something on Blulight and was let in on the little secret. In some ways, I kind of wish I hadn't have known, because once you make that connection that using more will make you feel better, it's all down hill. The circuit of addiction is complete at that point.

[Seedy]

I've probably already replied in this ancient poll so I hope I don't contradict myself but it's sunday morning and I've started the day with a 40 and some super potent PST and I'm feeling chatty.

I voted seeds/pods but I actually had my first blissful experience on 120mgs of codiene. I think I was prescribed it for some dental procedure. At the time (about 18-19 I think) I was a major stoner and would take the occasional psychedelics and ritalin but that was about it.

One night me and my flatmates were going to a friend's school drama class production. It was the day before dole day so I couldn't afford to sneak any booze in but one of my flatties asked me if I'd been prescribed anything from the dentist. I said yeah, codiene, so what? "You can get high off that shit". I'd been taking it for days and hadn't been getting high. "Take 4 of them then" he said.

So before the play I took my 4 30mg codienes and we headed off to the play. It was so nice, I could sit comfortably through this pretentious sappy piece of drama without fidgeting and I just felt... at peace. All my social phobias dissapeared and I could just enjoy the (shitty) play without worrying about the people around me and all the other shit that was getting me down at the time. It was just a mild buzz but it felt so homely, so right. I felt normal for once, complete.

lightning began to crack everywhere... It was splitting trees right down the middle... saying that without question the lightning caused these injuries.

OMG!!! I've seen lightening strike a HUGE tree while driving thru New Mexico awhile back. I'll never forgot that...I heard the lightening hit the tree while I was riding shotgun in the car. I can remember how the tree split in half, started a small fire where the tree split and was smoking as half the tree fell to the ground. I can only imagine what you went thru and continue to go thru to this day.

Back to topic...
I can remember Bayer Children's Aspirin, they were like a yummy orange flavor. My moms motto was, "Have a pain, pop a pill." (I'm serious, she will still say it from time to time ). So one day I was home alone (I was a latch-key kid even before they had a name for it ;) ), and I had a pain. I can't remember what it was, but I do remember getting a chair, moving it to the sink, climbing up onto the counter, opening the cabinet and grasping the little bottle of pills in my hand. All this at the ripe old age of 4 or 5. I opened it (this was WAAAAAAAY before childproof caps, Man, I keep showing my old age :D ) and ate a couple...then for some reason I gobbled down the entire bottle. They tasted like candy. It wasn't a new bottle, yet there was quite a few pills left, maybe 10-15. When I realized what I did, I threw the bottle away and just started watching tv and proceeded to get sleepy, really sleepy. When my dad came home I was sleeping on the couch, which wasn't normal, so he thought I was getting sick and went to get the children's aspirin. "I thought there was a bottle here." I just pretended to be asleep. I can remember this like yesterday.
Great personal memory....thanks.
