I don't think you're nuts. I have only second hand knowledge on this so take that FWIW.
I know of two folks who have tried the opioid route to improve mood and functioning. Both had great results.... INITIALLY - around three months. After that, a tolerance issue came into play and the opioid use became chasing the original great results which were never achieved again even at higher more frequent dosings.
I think it's a slippery slope for some. The idea of one individual over another being an opioid responder is an idea that is difficult for me to grasp. I believe the human brain - which we all have - IS opioid responsive.
I don't want to rain on your idea but I think caution is advised and my opinion is the use of these compounds should be monitored even when used in chronic pain management because their "road use" is likely filled with potholes that just add to problems. Big problems.
