Is it possible to drink Morphine that is administered through a drip bag?

As I could not find an answer to this question anywhere on the internet, I felt compelled to answer it myself, after experimenting. It seems that it is in fact possible to drink Morphine, mind you, I consumed 15mg of muriate from an ampule. I can't say that it was enough to reach the desired effect, but since I could not find an answer, I had to start small. Next try will be 30. Regardless, yes, it is possible. Also, I found an article online about some guy who was arrested after stealing morphine from a drip bag. Seems his mother had died, and instead of feeling remorse, he simply decided to get high. A nurse caught him and he fled. The long arm of the law managed to find him at a bus stop, drinking morphine from a water bottle. Peace, Jimmy
