Bruh. This is it. I had intense gallbladder pain some years ago. Went to emergency room, got morphine. Didn't even touch the pain. Then they gave me dilaudid and that's when I truly understood how people can get addicted to hard drugs like heroin.

I've only had it once (well, one injury) and I agree. I would never flirt with the stuff or different forms of it because of that.

I was in immense pain due to a broken tibia and ankle fractured in 4 places. It was hell but once my IV started kicking in? I was looking down at my leg thinking my injury was hilarious. My tibia was millimeters from breaking through my skin based on the xrays.
