Drugs (not steroids) in BJJ? Created a throwaway account for this, but have always been very curious about non-steroid drug use in BJJ. Particularly opiates.


I've always heard that painkillers are rampant in Pro Wrestling and MMA, but what about BJJ? One would think so, since it's a physical sport with plenty of aches/pains.


Personally I've struggled with painkillers (daily use) for ~3 years and am detoxing as of yesterday. Curious to hear if any other grapplers had this problem or friends who've had this problem in BJJ. I feel like it would be a popular vice to encounter in our art, but aside from one training partner of mine, I've never heard of guys on them.
