Opioids are no joke for sure. If you have good self discipline and can limit yourself to one every 2 to 3 days, it can be amazing and safe. But it makes you feel really good and many people don't have the self control required, so I recommend staying away. If you develop a physical dependence, it is not pleasant to say the least.
I mean I've tried opioids, but they make me nauseous. And tired. And i specifically avoided trying really strong ones because yeah, I know I wouldn't be able to handle it. It took years of suffering even to be able to control my cannabis use...
