I literally wish I knew what the ruckus is. I go in for surgeries every year or so and get sent home with a handful. No fun, i.e. no high for me, AFAIK. Not very good at pain control either. From my perspective all they do is act as the perfect sleeping pill. I used to regard myself as an honorary drug addict/alcoholic because I’m morbidly obese. My whole family were addicts, inspiring me to never try alcohol or illicit drugs. In my declining years I actually sort of hope I will get some fun out of legal drugs like this, but it hasn’t worked out that way. My life expectancy is low and I am mildly considering trying some illegal drugs

> I literally wish I knew what the ruckus is. I go in for surgeries every year or so and get sent home with a handful. No fun, i.e. no high for me, AFAIK. If you’re in pain following surgery, the prescribed medication isn’t expected to feel “fun” or produce a recreational high. Note that this does not mean that you are immune to addiction or recreational effects. In fact, this exact mindset is a common story underlying many addiction stories: A belief that the person’s response is in some way unique or less than average, leading to cavalier engagement with drugs. Don’t go down this path.
