ELI5:What are the main differences between popular opiates and why do people choose to do some over others for recreational purposes?
To clarify, I’m not looking to do any. I’ve known quite a few people in my life whom have gotten hooked on various opiates and today I was wondering, what makes them want to do fentanyl over heroin for example? I understand prices are a factor but as far as effects are concerned, what’s the difference between oxy, hydro, heroin, fentanyl, codeine, etc.?
