Another strategy I've heard of. It always surprises me when it turns out that one of those "food supplements" actually does something useful.
> I went through a bottle of 30 vicodin in a 24 hour period once...without the N-acetylcysteine.
300 mg? I guess if you're taking 70 at a time, that's not so far-fetched. I don't even want to think about how much APAP there was in that, though. I'm glad you're okay.
> Well, I didn't mind being dependent...as long as I had a steady enough supply to keep me doing well. I didn't want to be a criminal, though, which was what I became using the heroin. No telling what that cr*p (tar) was cut with.
Are you on the west coast, by any chance?
> Yeah, I didn't have to steal, but the people I came in contact with were pretty scary.
That's one of the many reasons why I say that nobody wants to be an addict. Even if you're well-off enough that you can afford whatever you need, you still have to make regular trips to "the bad part of town" (unless you have a friend who's willing to do that part).
> It's not like the pot scene...we're not talking about a few dead-heads with dreads.
Pot? I associate that more with, you know, high school kids. (and springtime, for some reason)
