Experiences - Opiates usage in Australia

[cybergenesis]

Swim is interested in finding some info out about his fellow Australians opiate enthusiasts

If people are interested answer some of these questions, so I can an idea of what the picture is like here as compared to other areas or just post some info.

What is your favourite opiate? Morphine? Heroin? Oxycodone? other?

Are you on any treatment for opiate usage? If so what experience have you had in Australia? How do you find the system?

Have you had any run ins with the police over your opiate usage? (I'd be very interested in stories relating to this).

Do you consider yourself addicted or a recreational user?

As for Swim. His favorite opiate that he has tried is oxycodone. He is not on any treatment. He is not addicted (yet). Thankfullly he has had no run ins with the police. Swims experience with the system is that most doctors are extremely reluctant to prescribe serious opiates, even when a person is in significant pain. Swim was in agony from bad back pain, he could not walk or move, and all they gave him was codeine and 1 valium.
