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:

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 24 points 1 week 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 week 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.

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.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 19 points 1 week ago

Opium dens were the original cat cafes

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

Opium feel good.

Pet kitty feel good.

Pet kitty while on opium, feel good

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

The cat looks concerned lol

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 week ago

Oh sick I used to do that with wrapping paper tubes as a kid
