We only use 10% at any given time. We use the entirety of our brain (though the effects of neuroplasticity guarantee that some regions will receive more blood flow than others leading to greater nerve cell generation)) but at any given moment most* use 10% total.
Nope.Hypoxia added to overdoses will have a deleterious effect, but that notwithstanding, injected heroin causes a 30% drop in blood flow or oxygen concentration. Im assuming that that persists for the duration of a nod. The body can compensate, but clearly something is responsible for the cognitive decline.
Only meth and heroin have been implicated having said that. Not only that the deficits were noted in injected heroin and methadone maintenance. MMT is often accompanied by benzodiazepine use which I dont beleive was factored in. Injected heroin causes a rapid fall which is probably what's responsible in some measure for the reported "rush"
If you are a responsible opioid user, and don't use them to the point of passing out from lack of oxygen, you'll be fine.
