I just found out that one of my good friends od'ed on heroin a couple of days ago. My friend (who was with him) says he had a hit on the couch, then five minutes later just fell onto the carpet and started turning blue. He wasn't breathing, so my friends called an ambulance. Lucky they were able to revive him. It was his first time trying hammer (so they say), he pretty much uses speed every day (IV). I spoke to him on the phone today and told him if I ever hear of him shooting up heroin I will fly over to Perth (I live in Cairns) and kick his arse. He told me he will never try that shit again but I dont beleive him. I hate the fact that he is addicted to speed as it is. He's getting manky grinded up nubs for teeth and I am really worried for his sake. But what can I do? I have known him for nearly 13 years now. I would be crushed if I found out he died and I never tried to help him at all. So what can I do? I dont know. It used to be that we (and other friends) would just smoke heaps of weed, drink piss and take the occasional trip, but ever since I left Perth (about 6 years ago) they have started on speed, and now H. Any serious advice would be very much appreciated.
