    This is very interesting and I appreciate you sharing your story. The human body is so complicated. I am not a high tolerance person when it comes to drugs, across the board anyhow, but I definitely always felt like when I’ve had opiates they don’t hit me like they do others. Tylenol 3 for example was like I didn’t even take anything, whereas my partner says she feels high from those.

    Edit: I just thought about something else. When doctors numb me for dental or dermatology reasons, they usually have to give me multiple doses and they often seem shocked that I’m still feeling what they’re doing. Maybe related also?

      definitely. especially if you’re not regularly taking pain numbing meds and drugs

      I just remembered, that I had a minor surgery on my foot as a teenager, and they also had to dose the area multiple times, because I still felt something, even though they said that it should all be completely numb. Never thought much of it, but probably the same reason

        Yeah I take next to zero drugs besides weed and alcohol. I actually don’t like taking any pain meds unless I’ll be suffering because I feel like pain is my body giving me useful info and I don’t want to silence that. But of course if I’m having surgery that obviously doesn’t apply :)
