I don't like needles.
So I didn't want to put a needle in my vein to have like the Hitler drug experiences.
I should have done it.
Like a historian, a proper historian never does that, okay?
But I thought I should take quite a few drugs that I write about to understand it better.
But this drug I didn't take.
I never shot oxycodone intravenously into my veins.
But I met someone who did, and he said it's like the king's high.
If you do that properly, obviously you get addicted to it.
I'd be scared to try.
Very intense experience.
Well, but not for Hitler because he got the Eukodal from the pharmacy.
He knew exactly, like his doctor knew exactly what was inside.
It was made by a pharmaceutical company.
Yeah, that is a big risk.
That is a big risk.
But there's also the risk of getting impure stuff and like heroin on the street and die from an overdose.
But the addiction thing is very, I think it happens quite quickly with Oikodone because it's such a great feeling.
So why wouldn't you do it over and over again?
Because, and then the opioid receptors in the brain want you to take it.
