Hi, I have recently acquired some VERY potent heroin, taking 5 mg gets me VERY high via snorting (I have no tolerance to opiates). Now, let?s say I were to snort H every Friday and Saturday, how would that turn out in terms of physical withdrawals? When it comes to snorting it, how long until physical withdrawals occur? I?m gonna assume I.V withdrawals settle in a lot sooner so I will only stick to snorting. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks
I haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if I repeat any information.
First I wanted to answer your question: Short answer is YES - getting high on heroin twice a week WILL eventually give you withdrawals. I know this from personal experience. Prior to becoming addicted, for YEARS I would occasionally binge on heroin. It was a LONG time though before using on the weekends or w/e led to withdrawals.
I found it kind of like this: initially using once or twice a week, for however long, to begin with, you just feel great; even the day after using, you still feel nice and warm and fuzzy. Then, after a couple months of steadily using twice a week, a couple things happen A ) Your tolerance becomes crazy and you'll need to significantly increase your dose, just to feel it (no matter how good your gear is). Then B ) You start feeling kinda crappy the day after using, not exactly withdrawals, but more like a 'come down' - in the sense that you no-longer still feel 'nice' the next day, instead you start feeling down and shitty, maybe even a bit nauseous; like a hang-over. Finally C ) You will start getting withdrawals, again - nothing crazy. But lets say you used every Fri and Sun, well - you'll start feeling tired and crappy from Mon-Thur, even Sat you'll feel shitty, but Mon-Tues you'll start feeling like you have a runny nose, if you'd been constipated you'll suddenly have diarhea instead, that kind of thing. Nothing so intense that you cannot go to work or anything like that, but you'll definitely start feeling like shit when ever you're not on H.
And at that point, you'll become a prime-candidate for full-time addiction. No one who uses frequently enough to suffer WD symptoms is immune from become addicted. If you're discipline is bad enough to reach that point, you're in a super dangerous place and you should try your hardest and with everything you've got to run the fuck away. I can't even possibly stress that to you enough. Consider that you can "chip away" at heroin for years, with week-long binges every few months and literally NEVER feel withdrawals, or even a come-down for that matter (although YMMV oc). So if you end up feeling shitty from using, then starting to feel background WDs so you're always a bit tired, cranky, etc when you're not using. Then you're probably fucked.
Then other thing I want to say is about the quality of your gear
While I obviously have no fucking idea about what you have. Please understand this - in most places in the world, typical quality "street deals", especially if you've paid the regular amount of money for your area and the amount you bought, you would NEVER feel 5mg snorted, not even without a tolerance. I once saw a small (40KG - 88lb) girl snort about 15mg of pretty 'decent' gear (50mg was enough to get me completely trashed/wasted via IV when I had a fairly low tolerance).
On the other hand, I regularly buy stuff that's sold as "pure" but I'm certain is just H mixed with something potent like fent, where I've seen addicts who IV 500mg H at a time, over-dose from injecting LESS THAN 50mg of this stuff.
Likewise, I've seen people smoke up a single inhalation worth (say 5mg, like you have) and getting really stoned from it (with a low tolerance).
So I think if you're snorting 5mg and getting stoned, there's at least a chance you're taking a fent mixture or something similarly dangerous (or more dangerous, like carfentenyl).
Anyway - I guess in that regard A ) Don't assume what you have is H unless you've literally seen a test result. Nothing else should EVER convince you of that information, seriously - not even your own mother assuring you on all your siblings lives should convince you without a test result, OK. So B ) ask around and try and find out what people *think* it might be and use that as a 'guide'. If people warn you that it's probably something stronger than H; then take it seriously. As a lot of that shit is barely active snorted, so if snorting 5mg gets you pinned, smoking or injecting the same amount might get you a ride in an ambulance.
