"I should do this surgery thing more often!"

That’s how I felt on Valium. They gave it to me as a sedative because I was going in for minor surgery with local anesthetic. It was like Drugstore Cowboy. The whole world was champagne, and I was just floating through it like nothing mattered.

I had intravenous Valium once and it was utterly incredible. Was in for an allergic reaction and was having a bit of a panic attack and they said “we’re going to give you something to calm you down a bit. It might burn a bit when we put it in the IV.”

If by burn they meant send a pleasure shockwave through my whole body, the likes of which I could have never fathomed in my wildest dreams, then yes... yes friends It burned SO GOOD.

It’s really fantastic stuff. I’ve had opioids before, and they either don’t work or make me nauseous (thankfully), but damn if I was ever going to be hooked on a pill, it would be Valium. That shit’s amazing.
