It seems like 2006 was when heroin really gained in popularity here. The combination of readily available oxycontin, and cheap dope created the perfect storm so to speak. So considering most people seem to start it in senior year of high school, or freshman year of university, most heroin users in here seem to be 21-26. Heroin was always around, but not like it is now where you can easily find it in high school, and people have just as many, if not more heroin dealers than weed dealers. Yes, you were able to find it on the street a little easier back in the 90's (in some places it is still as easy), but it wasn't in schools like it is now.
I thought that Oxy was going to come up , its never really got popular over here n we still have the old formula. Although folk enjoy it as a treat cos it hasn't got the stigma , i like it but need at least 80mg to get nice n thats a few £!
The last great influx of addicts was in the early - mid 90s n before that the early 80s reflecting the general mood (impending doom !) of the country .
Youngsters aren't starting on the H anymore i mean why would you when i started mid 90s it was hard to score shit stuff, know unless you have good connects or live in London the H is poor nothing like it was anyhow .
, Used to be avv. 50/60% know as low as 5 % some of the younger users don't know anything different as well so they think thats what Heroin actually is .
Sometimes i don't think it will ever get back to how it was , as the dealers know they can sell sub par stuff n still make money, Also the big gangs aren't bringing in Tonnes any more .
In other parts of Europe things are different , but still not as good as years gone by, i lived in Portugal for awhile n they get fire H , but friends have said that even their stuff is not quite so good.
