Heroin How bad is Black Tar for you, really?

[darkz]

Speak for yourself man, I can get some bomb ass tar and in my bad days I could easily slam a gram. This is GOOD shit too. It's called a tolerance.

I doubt it man, I've seen people with a 2 gram daily habit not be able to go over .7. These were big people too. This was VERY high quality product. Brown powder that turns into tar when you huff on it.

Tar varies wildly in quality. In Seattle, I had to do close to a gram to get high with almost no tolerance. And yes, that is a LOT of goop to shoot, especially when you know most of it is shoe polish or god-knows-what.

Here in Texas, a tenth of that will knock you on your ass.

And they look and smell the same!

Just think about it, black tar moves in from mexico. The further up north you get the more middlemen handle the stuff, and you can bet that they're gonna cut it to increase profits. That's why proximity matters and why Texas goo> Seattle goo

Hmm... Never slammed it, but smoke tar daily. I don't have health insurance anymore, and cannot afford my Fent prescription- I use it for pain control (Fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis). I live in SLC now, my hometown, after spending most of my life in Seattle/Portland/Bay area, and am actually quite impressed with both the quality and price I'm getting currently. There are many reasons why it can be bad for you-(smoking ANYTHING is unhealthy to some degree, and improper filtration/sterilization is not very helpful). However, I find it less addictive than Fentanyl, and my pain is so intense that the decision I've made to continue smoking is definitely safer than a: eating/snorting/shooting handfuls of pills, b: playing with the fire that is slurping down Fent patches, and c: growing so despondent that I go on some kind of killing rampage! There's never a surgeon general's warning on my bags, but the ones on my cigarette packs haven't stopped me either- Basically, I'm just as sure that it is "unhealthy" as I'm NOT sure what all it may contain from time to time- Maybe our government should make drugs LEGAL, use the taxes from the sale of PURE, and SAFE PRODUCT to help buy school books for kids, and create a sort of cash-cow for those who need help with substance abuse/addiction issues. I'm kind of blabbering here- sorry. I'm gonna go chase down this dragon in my living room now- bastard always gets in! (He is definitely formidable, but not nearly as scary as me without my 'medicine.')
Good night, Bluelight!

I live in SLC too, downtown

What kind of quality and prices are you getting? My guy had moved away 16 days ago and I'm dying here, it was kinda nice though. One week I would get tar, then the next week I'd get some fine brown powder.

no more though. . . .I've resorted to walking down rio grande by the homeless shelters and everyone I talk to tells me heroin is non existent in this fucking city. No I don't want CRACK and METH, that shit is easier to get than beer. FML

I grew up on the East Coast and was only recently introduced to Black Tar having moved West. Going from relatively pure brown powder to stuff near the beach that I swear had to have been cut with sand, none of it has been as bad as tar.

After only a few weeks, all 4 major veins in my inner elbows are 90% collapsed. I have stopped at the very last minute to give them some chance to recover. Some still have a fighting chance.

Having to IV 1g at a time, 1cc of water barely does it justice. The thick goo in result is like molasses. I always was under the impression that IV'ing Heroin is relatively safer than pills, but they can't be talking about this junk. What really makes up black tar? I can't imagine more than 15-20% of black tar to be diamorphine, if that much, what are we putting in our bodies? I cringe at putting this foul black liquid in my veins and it has taken a major toll.

So to summarize, what the hell is this. And how do y'all cope?

My rule of thumb was to stop on a vein after I stopped getting decent registers.

After 1 year straight shooting black tar my veins were f#cked in my inner arms. And after 12 months of not shooting in them they're still hard and unuseable. The marks are gone thankfully but they're not spongey like they used to be. I got some back, but they're not the old faithfuls everyone likes to use in the cubital fossa.

Right before I got on methadone I was shooting in the veins on my foot. Tar f#cks your shit up the most... even if you hit it perfect. The best thing to do is not make the shots thick. Anyone who says you shouldn't put too much water on a shot is crazy and misinformed. Watery shot, thick shot... all the same amount of dope!!!! It's better for your body and your veins to have a watery shot than a too thick shot. It also helps if you have dehydrated blood because it's more likely to clot if there isn't enough of a solution to dissolve clottable things... like dope and like blood exposed to air. I hope this helps.
