Wasteoids of San Andreas

[Turean Perspective]

This thread is dedicated to anyone who is roleplaying as an hardcore drug user.

We are aiming to portray a realistic portrayal of serious drug addiction and the troubles what come with it.
This thread welcomes players who are roleplaying as homeless characters and or people involved in the community associated with these two concepts, e.g members of street gangs involved in drug distribution, The Los Santos Police Department and the Los Santos Fire Department.

If you are willing to post screenshots of your roleplay into this thread, the screenshots have to be in 800x600 format in order to keep the thread's readability in check. You do not need a special permission to post your roleplay here, but if you are going to post screenshots you need to have proper character background and have to focus on your character's mental state in your roleplay.

• You do NOT have to be a full blown junkie stereotype to be able to post here, any type of addiction is welcomed into the thread.
• Your character can be from anywhere in San Andreas or have what-ever kind of background.

Information about strong prescription pain relievers

What are opioids?

Opioids, sometimes called narcotics, are a type of drug. They include strong prescription pain relievers, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, and tramadol. The illegal drug heroin is also an opioid.

A health care provider may give you a prescription opioid to reduce pain after you have had a major injury or surgery. You may get them if you have severe pain from health conditions like cancer. Some health care providers prescribe them for chronic pain.

Prescription opioids used for pain relief are generally safe when taken for a short time and as prescribed by your health care provider. However, people who take opioids are at risk for opioid dependence and addiction, as well as an overdose. These risks increase when opioids are misused. Misuse means you are not taking the medicines according to your provider's instructions, you are using them to get high, or you are taking someone else's opioids.

What is an opioid overdose?

Opioids affect the part of the brain that regulates breathing. When people take high doses of opioids, it can lead to an overdose, with the slowing or stopping of breathing and sometimes death.

What causes an opioid overdose?

An opioid overdose can happen for a variety of reasons, including if you take an extra dose of a prescription opioid or take it too often (either accidentally or on purpose)
Mix an opioid with other medicines, illegal drugs, or alcohol. An overdose can be fatal when mixing an opioid and certain anxiety treatment medicines, such as Xanax or Valium.

Take an opioid medicine that was prescribed for someone else. Children are especially at risk of an accidental overdose if they take medicine not intended for them.

I like the concept.

Cool idea, are you going to be role playing as such yourself as well? A community of homeless/drug addicted characters could really add depth to the city.
