    This is a tabloid non-story. A tramadol amount equivalent to six “shots” of heroin? Hmmm, seems a bit far fetched. When it comes to opioids, tramadol is as weak is gets. In terms of dosing equivalent, even the most conservative estimates would probably put this at like… 150-200 tablets per day of tramadol to equal that amount of heroin. And no one is going to be smuggling that much tramadol because of how weak (and therefore, not profitable) it is.

      Ya I cant speak on heroin because ive never done it, but that did seem excessive to me. I used it a few years ago when I moved here and my MAX dose was 400mg a day which was fucking LOADS. It was 8 pills a day. So by his math I was doing one “shot” of heroin a day and as much as I dislike tramadol I think thats a massive stretch because at no time at all was I incapacitated or experiencing what I have seen from people that use heroin. Its a dirty fucking drug and coming off of it is a nightmare and I cant even imagine what 2500mg felt like but this is a silly comparison in my opinion.
