Ok, I’ve never tried opium, but something tells me petting a kitty while being high would feel marvelous.

Here is another one from Paris:

The number of comments glorifying this is shocking. Opium/laudanum/morphine/heroin is brutally addictive, life ruining, and opium dens were places of abject misery and horror.

Petting a kitty will give you a natural high.

No, I'm pretty sure petting opium won't get you high.

If you pet hard enough - and lick your hands afterward - it just might

So you're saying petting a cat while on opium will get me double high? Fuck yeah!

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Can confirm, patting a cat while high as fuck on opium will make the high better, maybe not double, but definitely fully enhance the situation, just like being on MDMA or cocain and hanging out with a dog does the same.

Meth is made better with a bird, specifically one that loves screaming back at you.

Acid is made better by fish in a fish tank or pond.

This explains a lot about the employees at my local pet store.

Meth seems to also be better when you walk erratically along the side of a busy road while holding your arms out and wiggling them.

Now, imagine you have a cool dog with you on your methventure.

I've done it a few times by doing something with seeds that I won't talk about. It feels amazing. Having an emotional support animal is awesome, especially if you have a nice place to crash out. I wouldn't suggest it if you have an addictive personality.

It's crazy good actually. First time I did opium I realized that I had never actually been comfortable before in my entire life. There's always a base level of pain and discomfort that is just there, being normal.

Of course, for anyone that needs to hear it, opiates push that pain floor up, so you constantly need more and your off-drug perception of "normal" becomes physically worse as your body adapts. Don't do opiates.

I too regularly consume 50 lbs of poppy seeds to get high.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Most places started washing the seeds, which don't have any latex on them naturally, but the latex can get on them in the milling process. They had some like high school kids kill themselves doing massive amounts and they started washing them, at least in many places.

My favourite drug to vibe to music on.

Opium dens were the original cat cafes

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

Opium feel good.

Pet kitty while on opium, feel good

Is that catnip? If so, I'm DOWN!

Hmm...I never considered this as a retirement plan but It seems nice!
