Apologies for the grainy text - best version I could find
As far as I know, that’s not how epidurals work. Nothing goes to your brain. It just numbs the nerves in your spine and stops the pain signals from reaching your brain.
What you are describing is how epidurals are supposed to work. If the epidural needle is a mm too deep, you can inject directly into the spinal fluid which does go to the brain and is probably pretty amazing.
You sound like you kinda know what you’re talking about so… What’s the down side? There’s gotta be a reason not everyone’s chasing this high.
I had a hernia at risk of strangulation. I was in the ER and, basically, the plan was to chill it and have a doctor try and just jam it back in.
Buddy was like “I’m going to wail on you pretty hard, you want fentanyl?”. I was like “You’re the doctor”.
Anyhow, when that shit hit my veins I very loudly blurted “AAHHH, NNOOWW I GET IT”.
The staff was like “what?” And I kinda fumbled out a “Never understood why people fuck with something so deadly, until now”
Anyhow, totally opened my eyes to why street drugs are such a problem for the homeless. They have tons of problems… but you get those drugs and within moments… all your problems just evaporate. Completely understand how wildly alluring that proposition would be.
