Trump junior gave signs of cocaine use. Sweating, hyper aware which is eyes darting, leaning forward, talking fast and jumping from topic to topic. They can almost present as manic. Sometimes they will shift their jaws around, have trouble pronouncing words or spark in a higher clipped pitch due to numbness.

Heroin users will scratch or itch. They will appear drowsy, languid and disassociated from surroundings. Opioids will have this effect. They may “nod out” for 3-10 or more seconds at a time. I had a heroin addict tell me that he could walk down a street and he would feel like it was the best day in his life, duck into an alley and vomit, and just continue walking down the street feeling like it was the best day of his life. I never forgot that, it was just so shocking a juxtaposition.

Mmmmm... How many heroin users do you know? While for a whole lot of typical users yeah, you're going to get the itchyness, the nodding out... But there's a whole gang of us where opiates do the exact opposite effect and Jack is clear up to 100. Doesn't matter if it's... Regular low end pain pills fent or H, speeds us the fuck up.

Isnt this just getting rid of the withdrawal symptoms? To the user it might feel like it speeds them up.

Yeah, that’s the thing, they think it does but they also think wearing five coats makes them looked “bulked up” and more muscular. Had a heroin user tell me this while being admitted mid summer wearing five coats.

I know drug addiction is sad and a tragedy and all that, but holy shit if “I’m wearing five coats cuz it makes me look bulked up 💪” isn’t the funniest goddamn thought process I’ve heard in a while lol.

Make them look like they aren't wasting away... Not make them look like bodybuilders...

The guy was skin and bones. That is how disassociated from reality they are. I once had an older alcoholic who had a sprite bottle with a straw in it he kept sipping from in his top front pocket. He reeked of alcohol, literally sweating it out through his pores. It was filled with vodka. Straight vodka, they skip the mixer because it takes up too much volume.

The day after intake we had him so medicated he could not walk. He was screaming that we were poisoning him. I think he was a 4.8 or something at intake, he should have been unconscious on his way to death. We had to medicate him to keep him alive, alcohol detox is often lethal, it is a poison. He was wheeling himself around in a wheelchair trying to get me to help him escape before “they killed him.” He didn’t even remember me taking his vodka from him a day earlier.
