The Ultimate Legal High

The government is cracking down on so-called legal highs at the moment. It just occured to me that I'm getting in deep with an addiction myself.

It gives me a euphoric high, but I have to go harder every time to reach it. It brings me out in a sweat and can make my body ache for days afterwards. I've joined a group of people who are into it too, and we have our own sub-culture with its own language and dress code which outsiders don't understand. Chasing more intense hits has led to weight loss and a reduced heart rate.

And the deeper I get in, the more I have to pay the dealers...

    Only one for me...Two Tarmadols, then go to bed with my MP3 playing Tamla Motown, Reggae, Electro-Pop, Chill-out and Classical music.

    Works nearly evry time.

    I ran out of tramadol this morning, i'm not a happy bunny however the world does look much more 'real' now.

    I've switched to Innis & Gunn until I can see my dealer (local doctor) - i'm guessing it's gonna take a lot of beer to achieve the same effect.
