Is Methadone of any value?

[Pure_Nothing]

I was recently approved by my insurance for 365 days of Methadone treament. Thing is I don't use opiates.. so I'm kinda wondering what their generally worth on the street. Anything? I've never really fucked opiates, so I have no clue..

And if anyone has any experience with actually going to a Methadone clinic and knows how lengthy the process is..do I just show them my authorization form? Will they drug test me to make sure I'm not lying about my use? Will they make me take the dose in front of them? Thanks

I could be wrong but from what i understand(in canada atleast) you go to a clinic every day, you take the pill or liquid solution in front of them and then fuck off. Repeat everyday.

However, there is many stories of people puking up the pill/liquid and then selling it for profit(especially in jail settings which is a problem). Its disgusting.

So, in short....its of little value....unless your a piece of shit who needs the money.

The clinic will almost certainly drug test you to ensure you're actually the addict you claim you are.

You'll show up to the clinic every day to drink a dose of methadone determined by the doctor. They will watch you dose it. After 30 days, many clinics will let you take home a month's supply of methadone.

Methadone does have value. Lots of people get very high on it alone, while junkies seek after it when they can't afford to buy their heroin. A $5 10mg methadone is easier for them to get than a $10+ bag of dope a lot of the time.

What's the buzz like? There's a methadone clinic a 10 minute walk away from me.

Don't be stupid guys. The buzz is like next to nothing. If you're not in withdrawal to begin with, it's hardly noticeable. About as strong as 5mg oxy to a non tolerant oxy user for a non-tolerant methadone user. Then, after about 10 days or less, you don't feel anything, and then you just need it or you're sick, and methadone withdrawal is nothing to fuck with.

DON'T FUCKING DO IT. bottom line. If you take my word for anything, take it for this. It's a prison, and there's hardly any upside, and none after a week or just more. Then it's like an opiate addiction with just the chasing to stay normal and no highs.

Awww I thought I could walk down the street and feel nice. If it's really like that then it's not worthwhile at all.

Oh, by the way OP, they've made it more strict recently, and you only get 6 days worth after being clean in your twice a week urine tests at the clinic for SIX months. One month will get you one day a week that you don't have to take it in front of them. The only way would be to get to the 6 month point, then go through full blown methadone withdrawal, then keep your 6 carries per week from whatever mg you were wild enough to wd from, the higher, the more you make obviously, and then puke up your dose you still take in front of them once per week so it doesn't kill you. I'd just say fuck it.

The reason being on the dose they start you with, it wouldn't add up fast to sell on the street. You have to go up 10mg a week or every two weeks to get on moderate or large daily doses. THOSE doses can and will kill you if you're not taking it every day and adjusting, so the once a week one might kill you, or probably will. It probably wouldn't show up at your then (after 6 months clean) ONCE a week piss tests, or, the metabolites rather.. so yeah it won't work. If it does it's not worth it, cause it will only work for a small amount that's not worth the hassle.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Don't start doing that shit. If you don't have a problem now, you will if you start fucking with that. I'm tryna stop takin opes now, and it's a bitch. I'm 9 days in, and every day is a suprise wether I can go to work and function or not.
If you wanna sell, then do that. But, don't start taking them in order to get. You can make some bread on those. You'll probably make more on the arm though. Sick people are hard up.

Given the fact I'll have to take any amount is a deal breaker for me. I've smoked Heroin half a dozen time and I always puke out my nose. Oxy does this so does Vicodin and Suboxone. Hell even kratom started to make feel sick halfway through one cup. I'm a complete bitch for all opiates/opioids, I recognize this.

It's better that way. You know, all that means is that you're doing too much for 0 tolerance, or next to zero tolerance. If you did just enough to not make you sick, you'd feel amazing. But no, forget that.

Tried this, naseua always set in before recreational value is there. The only exception to this was when I had hand surgery and had a script for 60 oxycodone 5 mg. For the first half of the script 1pill got me sorta 'buzzed'(not high), 2 would make me puke. By the second half of the script and some tolerance built, I would take 4 and get that nice floaty dream like feeling everyone talks to highly about. But still too much work just to enjoy a high that will end up me fucking over hardcore. I like my psyches

Bullshit. I was shooting nearly a gram a day for around a year and i could still get high from 80-100mg of methadone.

Maybe that's the difference? I dunno dude. I'd have no reason to bullshit anyone. I have to take it every day, and I get ZERO opiate high from it. When I started, I got a bit of one, but after my body adjusted it's just like nothing. Maybe your body never adjusted and you spaced it out? You CAN get high from it, just not for very long if you do it every day. If you managed to space it out, then yeah, you'd get a bit of a high but still, the high you get isn't a big enough pro to beat out the con of risking methadone withdrawal one day.

ps. Why the fuck would you do that in the first place? Stick with heroin or OC if you're using it to get high and not to take the edge off of withdrawals.

edit * oh wait. You did it every day. Well, you may have gotten high, but you're either a liar or a complete moron.

Well, i've only ever taken it a handful of times, with the purpose of getting high because its a hell of a fuckload cheaper than heroin seeing as i can get 500mg for £30.



No matter how high your tolerance is, you'll still be able to get a decent high from methadone, it just depends on the dose you take.
