No one ever got hooked with the bottle of Tylenol 3 they send you home with after you get your wisdom teeth out.

But when it's oxy or hydromorphone I'd agree, also I don't even want to think about having morphine or fentanyl patches in my possession.

They aren't prescribing recreational doses, he would be perfectly functional and experience no dissociation whatsoever, it's something the drug community has been talking about for a long time.

Lookup "microdosing" if you're interested, a lot of people do it with dissociatives or psychedelics and the point of it is to a below threshold dosage and avoid the typical drug high.

Seems like the admins have pretty much done away with the black bar thing.
