    Ah, the ol’ time release trick.

    Not quite the same, but they used to tell us Tramadol wasn’t habit forming either.

      Why, because street users would fuck up titration and kill themselves‽ That shit is the least I’ve ever minded hives.

        I think they just said it to sell it. I knew people in recovery who would have doctors prescribe it to them and tell them it was safe and non-addictive.

        Honestly, the people I knew that liked other opiates usually said they hated tramadol. But I also knew a handful of folks that never got into other opiates and really liked abusing tramadol.
