Half a pill would knock me out for a 4 hour nap. Normally don't take narcotics myself - advil and tylenol did file when my wisdom teeth got pulled (very narced and gassed during procedure) and when I fell off my mower and cracked my elbow - like above, just can't stand the way they make me feel (and I've done my share of recreational chemistry).

So depending on what you do, work (and good paying work) is certainly possible. The issue is the educational levels, etc. required to have a job that doesn't do additional damage to your back (or whatever other reason you have for the narcotics) where being mildly stoned all the time won't get in the way of productivity or cause safety issues.

Your graphic perfectly describes me and bowling!
