is there a herb or something at the health food store that can give you the happy feeling percoset gives


is there a herb or something at the health food store that can give you the happy feeling percoset gives?
percoset gives a sorta euphoric feeling for about 10 minutes, so not enough to ever be addicted, and i take it for cyst pain. But after i have surgery i am not going to take it anymore, but wonder if there is a healthy alternative to have that up, happy feeling, i know exercise is one, and i have heard chocolate

That would be a negative. Percoset is Oxycontin with tylenol in it. Oxycontin is synthetic heroin. But it kinda sounds like you're taking something else, say like crack or something, if it only lasts about ten minutes. If it is Percoset then it IS addictive. I'd suggest finding something more substantial to make you happy. Don't you know you shouldn't let others get your kicks for you?

If, by health food store you mean mom's medicine cabinet, the answer is almost certainly yes. If by health food store you mean Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or something, the answer is almost certainly no.

Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) is, in The United States, a schedule II controlled substance. Oxycodone (the opioid that makes people "high) and other opioids are either completely illegal or they are highly controlled drugs and require a prescription. The only type of drugs like oxycodone are other opioids and, like I said, they are controlled and not easily available. So no, there is absolutely nothing that can cause the types of feelings oxycodone can that is available at a heath food store. If there was something equally as addictive as oxycodone legal at health food stories you would know about it. Also the fact Percocet makes you euphoric for just 10 min is completely odd. Endorphins are endogenous opioid's and exercise will increase their levels but nothing like what oxycodone does. And to correct one person, oxycodone is certainly not "synthetic heroin." Primarily the reason is that heroin is NOT natural nor is oxycodone synthetic. Both oxycodone and heroin are semi-synthetic opioids, meaning they are derived from opiates (the naturally occurring opioids, primarily morphine and codeine). So neither drug is synthetic or natural, and they are BOTH semi-synthetic.

Mathieu has some good background information that you should read. If you really want to feel happy you should exercise, eat healthily, have a fulfilling job and social life, and so on. That being said, there are a few ways to get high on opioids without buying them from a drug dealer or getting them prescribed to you by a doctor. The first is to buy opium poppy pods from a floral arranger, which contain morphine and codeine. I have never done this but you can get them online and make tea out of them. It's essentially legal to have poppy pods for decorative purposes, but if the police busted in on you at the right time, you could be arrested for manufacturing a controlled substance for extracting the psychoactive compounds. Another is kratom, a Southeast Asian herb that has some opioid activity. Also available online, it's currently legal in the US and most other places but will probably be made illegal in the next years. Its safety is not well documented but probably won't harm you unless you get addicted to it, a distinct possibility when using any opioid drug. In some countries (not the US) you can buy products that contain Tylenol (acetaminophen) and codeine (a weak opiate) over the counter for pain relief. It is acutely hazardous to take recreational doses of this because the acetaminophen could damage your liver. Some people have come up with ways to separate the codeine from the rest of the ingredients, although messing up such a procedure might result in a trip to the hospita
