tylenol 3 is not sold over the counter in canada you need a prescription. as a recovered pill addict(7 years of hell) i can tell you that pills (endocett, oxy-contin, dilaudid ect are the devil. the addictive properties are so strong. Also the normal body produces its own painkillers. but once you are recieving these from an outside source(pills) for a long enough time your body stops making them. that is why when you dont have a pill your body gets so sore. Arms and especially legs will be cramped and feel like constant growing pains. I have been taking methadone for just over 2 yrears now as a replacement therapy for the pill addiction I had and will have to take this for prob the rest of my life
so word of advice stay away from pills and just stick to pot.....
You hit the nail on the head ...Greatwhitehunter...
I'm in the same boat as you bro, been on Replacement Therepy for over 3 years now. I did the Done for a bit, but the docter thought it be better for me to switch to Bupe (suboxone) If I knew then, what I know now, I never would have "experimented" with Pain killers of any sort. Take some advice from me, nothing good will come from using Opiates of any kind, not Codein, Oxicodone, Hydrocodone or whatever. Evidently, they almost always lead to Heroin use. I know what your thinking, I would never stick a needle in my arm. Ya, me neither... I used for a little over 10 years, It started out as fun, but soon after It stopped feeling good and I started feeling sick when I didn't have it. I should have stopped then. But, I didn't. As my tolerance grow, I needed more and more to get that warm feeling, you know, that awsome feeling thats goes through your whole body when the drugs start to take effect. Well it doesn't last. Soon, you can't even enjoy that feeling, because you know that you can't just relax and let it take effect. because, you need to try and steal something or pawn something or beg for someway to get more money before that feeling is gone and you start to get sick. Imagion this, you can't go on vacation, hold a steady job, feel any emoition, other then anger and guilt. Because, your body has used up all it's ability to make you feel good, Shit, to make you feel anything at all. So you get up at 6:30am every morning to go to a mobile methadone clinic. If you sleep in, you miss it and guess what, your sick, no work today... You guys see where this is going? Stay away from Opiates.. They will ultimatly end up ruining yours and anyone who cares about yours life. I know it happened to me. I have been trying to rebuild my life for a number of years now, and it is so hard to do, with this ball and chian tied to my leg, nothing is easy. I know your not going to listen to me, But I wish you would. It wont happen to me, I wont get addicted, HA, MY FAMOUS LAST WORDS. Oh ya, that needle I said I would never stick in my arm, Well, I did. I did it just about every day, for 8 years, One day I was sick, didn't have enough money for pills, I bought some Heroin, Snorted it, felt good. Within a month I was shooting it into my arm...JUST DON'T DO IT..
Stick with the buds, Even if their a so called Gateway Drug. Take your chances...
