To me the pleasant part of opiates is the warm, calming, and comfortably numb, sedation. The sense of well being and peace is what i like.
The part that makes you want to sit around on the couch and listen to music all day while scratching your nose //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
If i want to wake up and be animated i will drink some coffee.
i do not think that opiates should be abused recreationally, but there is nothing wrong with taking something that makes you feel better when you really are sick.
It defiantly adds an enjoyable element to an otherwise negative experience. I find solace when i feel like I'm starting to get sick; its almost something to look forward to instead of something to dread.
