Who gets high?

The clinical approach to treating an overdose on a mu-agonsist (traditional opiate narcotic) would be a mu-ANTAGONIST! Clinically speaking, you would administer an IV shot of naloxone to the point of reversing respiratory arrest. If you go too far and induce acute withdrawal symptoms, you might reverse treatment slightly so that you can bring a patient down without bringing on WD's so severely. "Pulp Fiction" was full of SHIT on this particular point!

My high is entirely in pleasurable activity ( Sex included, of course ) e.g. in experiences and internally-generated chemical stimuli. I am allergic to alcohol ( not that I'm another Pretty Woman or anything ) as I cannot metabolise it, and I only take drugs to combat medical symptoms, illness etc. Having said that, I have never managed to achieve a completely trancendental state, so I think I understand why so many folks try the psychedic route.

So I'm hedonistic, and shamelessly so. My greatest pleasure is still sitting overlooking the sea and watching the sun setting.

Boring isn't it ?
