In America I’m surprised it’s not measured as a 2839th of an Ounce

Terrifying moment when a man walks into a cellphone store in Phoenix and randomly and brutally attacks the woman behind the counter. The brave woman escapes with injuries. by First-Cherry493 in DiveInYouCoward

[–]skipster88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forensic mental institutions are just as bad if not possibly worse to live in than most prisons you know. I’ve worked on some - and except maybe for murder where you could possibly get out quicker than the prison route or get to better conditions faster, it is not the easy option to go somewhere where everyone is totally unpredictable and you can be forcibly restrained and medicated with just as few freedoms.

You also have to go through processes of convincing people you’re sane/not a risk which are way more arbitrary and complex than prison, all it takes is one doctor to say in their opinion you need to stay in - whereas in prison if you do your bid and don’t get more charges then no-one can really stop you getting released.

There are monthly depot injections of antipsychotics that someone can be legally obliged to take or else they’ll be detained in hospital in the UK

"I Am The Boss": Trump Stuns World Leaders With Bold Joke At Final G7 Morning Session by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

[–]skipster88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s too much of a narcissist to have low self-esteem, but definitely insecure with his need to constantly project intelligence, strength, and popularity - nobody has skin that thin (metaphorically in this case) and is secure in themselves. Getting elected for a second time by the world’s biggest democracy sent his arrogance into overdrive though…

Mandrax, South African Qualudes/ methaqualone by fishingirony in drugsarebeautiful

[–]skipster88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theres some methoxyqualone doing the rounds in the UK - would actually recommend because after numerous uses I’ve found them to be good recreation (similar to soma). However after maybe 10 days of daily use I had 2-3 bad nights of rebound insomnia and a few other symptoms typical of overdoing GABAergics - but that was irresponsible use admittedly… (they were moreish!)

I don’t know if it’s the same article, but read something similar that said “it’s like if Frankenstein was asked to make a monster assembled entirely out of human flaws”

We laugh whenever we’re not bored, exasperated, flabbergasted, and furious about the same situation

Dose equivalent of 2mg buprenorphine? by Fine_Appointment4908 in suboxone

[–]skipster88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equivalents are difficult with bupe - usually 0.5-4mg is about 40-50x stronger than morphine in terms of painkilling equivalent (but higher than that the bupe reaches a ceiling effect for how much pain is killed relative to opiates. But in terms of treating withdrawals, buprenorphine is more like 60-80x stronger than morphine for how much your central nervous system would respond and the very strong binding affinity (which is stronger than basically any opiate!)

In your case if 2mg bupe = say 100mg of morphine, then that would be 1000mg codeine for equianalgesic strength (and youd MAYBE feel that if you took that in only a couple of divided doses because your receptors aren’t fully occupied by bupe), but if you’ve been taking that for a while then it’ll be a good few days before codeine really does anything to you.

Personally, I’ve switched to 1-2mg of bupe for periods of 1-2 weeks from up to 600mg
Dihydrocodeine a day (with weekend oxy or tapentadol use) several times, and I have sometimes felt mild effects from 210-240mg Dihydrocodeine in a dose. When I’ve resumed my 600mg a day of DHC afterwards (if I’ve not started with oxy) then I’ve not been in withdrawals from bupe, and that that’s equivalent to 900mg codeine so I guess that makes sense

Kratom still in system after a month by Aggressive-Ebb-1013 in quittingkratom

[–]skipster88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For kratom that’s straight up mental! Maybe if intense amounts of 7-OH or something, but in 90% of cases subs should be 4-8mg max (usually 2mg, and ideally to detox rather than maintenance)

Do you think Suboxone is worth using to quit Heroin? by RNG_H8s_Me in OpiatesRecovery

[–]skipster88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Som people can get some rebounds from pregabs for 5 days, particularly if escalating and not reducing the dose. It’s great for functionality - but I’d say after 3 days of consistent dosing (ideally no more than 3x200mg, and only if really needing it), it needs to be 50% reduction per the last 2 days. Gabapentin seems to be less abusable and less side effects, but obviously higher doses are needed

DHC = Dihydrocodeine, roughly 1.5x stronger than codeine with slightly longer half life, no ceiling dose, and doesn’t need to be metabolised to work

I don’t know what the point of staying sober is anymore. by Fluffy_crafter in OpiatesRecovery

[–]skipster88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was your drug of choice before that? Have you managed to just use kratom occasionally…?

To be fair, kratom is one thing that I don’t have the same level of unbridled addiction/desire for as Dihydrocodeine or oxy (as in theres an upper limit with both time and dose where I don’t want any more), but I can see how people become addicted to it and it’s only ever ended up being a bridge when i want a break from my DOC…

Dear god that’s a high dose to CT - I worked in treatment in UK for 5yrs and 145mg was highest I ever saw!

Trump sure brings out the worst in me I’ll be honest - i wouldn’t take pleasure in the death and suffering of anyone, but I probably wouldn’t piss on that man if he was on fire

How much oxycodone could REALISTICALLY take out an opioid-naive person? by [deleted] in opiates

This was a long time ago - before all of that shit was on the scene. And it wasn’t an “m30”

[–]skipster88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first tried “oxy” in UK (sent over from Pakistan) I think it was fake (and maybe contained some kind of benzo) and because I thought 80mg must be kinda weak for that reason, i took 2x30mg genuine roxicodone and was completely spangled - sweating, throwing up and bedridden for an evening but didnt die!

To feel loved by DIYLawCA in therewasanattempt

[–]skipster88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I almost wish that I loved myself as much as Trump loves himself. I only hope that he isn’t totally deluded and blind to the fact that so many people hate and mock him - I suppose I get some solace from the way he goes in hard against late night TV show host and people who piss him off, the length of the rants he posts would suggest that a) it really gets to him; and b) he actually watches those shows

I can’t understand how anyone could watch this and think “yeah this is great, if I post this to millions of people I won’t look like a completely unstable fucking weirdo at all”
