I’m relatively new to downers but i’m supposed to be doing codeine soon (120mg). Does codeine feel nice?

Just did mdma with a friend and he said codiene doesn’t nearly compare to how nice mdma is so i’ve just wondered what the point of downers like benzos and opiods are if they don’t feel nearly as nice as stimulants like mdma, coke etc

Edit: I’m simply wondering about the appeal for codiene and weaker opiods. Please don’t be pressed like that one guy in the comments
