Ok, I'm trying to phrase this so that it isn't a powder ID thread (as I know that is against the rules), but I found this powdery substance in my sister's room in a paper wrap and I'm pretty sure it's heroin. I tasted it and it's bitter like coke, but has more of a papery taste, and it is also about as white as the paper. My sister doesn't live here anymore, but she's had a problem with both. Plus, she's done ketamine and speed before, so it could potentially be either of those.

The rules say that trying to ID it is just speculation, but any tips would be appreciated.

My real question is, if it is heroine, can I blow it just this once so long as I have nothing to do tomorrow, and would it be fun/ worth it?
 
Well it looks like some white east coast dope but I can't be sure as I have only seen it once because I live on the west coast and only get tar heroin. It has been awhile since I saw it but from what I remember it looks similar...I guess. Please don't take my word for that. You can rule out ketamine and it doesn't look like crystal meth, as it would be, well, crystals. If the picture was clearer it would be easier to tell. Don't go blowing unknown powder, that's just a bad idea.

Well, you're right that I'm on the east coast....

But say that it was dope, would it be worth it to do it just this once, or is it one of those "shitty the first time" drugs.
 
If it "were" heroin, which you don't know it is, I wouldn't suggest using it if you have no tolerance or little tolerance to other opiates. It isn't a good idea to just jump to heroin without experimenting with other opiates first, in my opinion. I don't think I need to remind you that Heroin is very addicting. You can get sick from your first couple times using heroin, especially if you take too much.
 
Tread carefully...

Exactly. This is, of course, assuming that is it heroin in the first place, which, in the interest of harm reduction, we can't do. There are test kits you can purchase online to check to see what your mystery powder is, but, until you either test it or have somebody test it for you, you can't really know what it is.

I also agree with K'd-OUT that you should not just jump into using heroin without some serious experience with other opiates, including the stronger ones such as morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, etc. Even after that point, you need to make a choice because heroin is different from pharm opiates due to the fact that it is a street drug vs. a pharmaceutical. Because heroin is a street drug its purity varies and is impossible to gauge just by looking at it. It is also not possible to know what it's cut with just by looking at it...

Please be careful if you do indeed decide to try this powder. In the interest of harm reduction I say you should not without testing it first. If you do consume it, do an allergy test, that is, snort (or eat) a very small amount to make sure you do not have an adverse reaction.

Please tread carefully if you think you must consume this powder in the first place. It is much better to err on the side of caution and consume too little than be reckless and consume too much.

Stay safe my friend :)

I've done a good amount of other drugs, and a couple of opiates over the years (although my tolerance is probably nil at this point).

I tasted a good bit an hour ago, and I'm fine now, so I doubt I'm allergic.

How much would you suggest for a trial amount...

A line or two?

If it's coke or something I'll know from about that much. What would I expect from a line or 2 of dope?
 
It could be some molly. I really am not a hundred percent sure. It taste pretty bitter if it is pure and kind of like a medicine taste but kind of sour. It just depends.

I'm new kind of so I'm not sure if this reply was a no no but yeah don't try it man. Just ask your sister what it is or leave it be? Even if its heroin you don't need to be touching that kind of shit (sorry if I offended anyone).

Also molly can be a brownish color but never had it that way. It also can be pure white or a little off tanish. The stuff I had last weekend was pure white powder.

I wouldn't do a line or two, if you're dead-set on trying it, I would do a bump, a small bump..I mean, really small. If you're dead set on trying it in the first place. You'll probably still know if it's coke or not from a small bump (unless its crappy coke). You will also know if it's heroin from a small bump if you don't have any tolerance.

If you snort it, start with a very small dose. If it is indeed heroin and is of high purity, a small amount would certainly have an effect.

Do you have a scale?
 
I would measure out the smallest amount you can on your scale and work your way up from there. Since you've already done the allergy test you should be OK to snort it.

Please follow basic harm reduction guidelines when it comes to this substance. What opiates do you have experience with?


**In the end, we can't tell you what this is. So we're limited by that, just so you know. I'm just thinking from a harm reduction standpoint here, just because it looks like something doesn't mean it is, there is a pretty obvious risk in taking a random powder you found in your sister's room. I just fear that this is turning into a powder ID thread after all.**
 
I did bupe every day for about a year (dunno if that really counts) when I got my sisters subutex. I've done codiene once, and I've done hydrocodone, percs, and oxys a few times.

edit: Actually my scale registers hundredths... should i still go for .1
 
The way to tell if its coke is if you rub some on ur gums and they numb it. Ur gums would feel a 'numbed' sensations.it also has a yellow-ish tint to it. Im not sure about molly tho. If there was more light in the pic I would be able to see the actual color. Im on the east coast and have done more than my fair share of heroin. And it usually always has a tan tint to it. never really pure white. unless its china white. I dont ever recal tasting the powder or what it tastes like so I cant give you an example. can you take another pic with more light? So we can see the exact color better? and if it is heroin and ur going to test it out use a very tiny amount. like another poster said a very tiny bumb. like as round as a cigg. not the length. the width. Heoin is very strong and you have no idea how strong the stuff you have is.
 
Throw it away. Totally pointless speculating what it is, when best case scenario it's some heroin and you get high (more likely sick), and worse case scenario is you die. Not trying to be mean but this is really stupid. The best harm reduction answer is to just throw it away.
 
general dope (heroin) doesnt come in just paper.. its usually wax paper bags bc it disolves into the regular paper.. i am a regular heroin user and to be honest it doesnt look like dope to me, its too choppy.. i would not suggest doing it.. 1. who knows how old it is 2. if you dont know what it is you could easily OD 3. it could be a mixof things you never know.. and trust me you do not want to catch a dope habit.. its NOT FUN .... AT ALL..
 
The people on here suggesting that the OP throw it away must have chemists for dealers, selling that FDA certified dope. Does anyone here really know with 100% certainty what they've got in their bags whenever they come home from coping dope? The OP is in the same boat he would be if he went to a dealer and picked up some "dope" ... he just so happened to find this could-be stash in his sister's room.

I would still advise the OP not to try it, not because "we don't know what it is," but because I am not an advocate for anyone's trying new, potentially habit-forming or addictive substances. It's fire we play with, folks, you know? But if you're going to do it, OP, use your head. Do the research, take small, match-head sized bumps and try not to redose too soon.
 
But how do you even know its heroin? That is just something that first came to the OP's mind. It could be some life threatening chemical, although I doubt it as its wrapped up like it were drugs. Why would you do some random powder you find? I know I would be really tempted and probably give in but that's just me. As this is a harm reduction site I would just suggest tossing it...me, well I'd probably do it. But I do dumb stuff like that and that includes sniffing any white powder I find.

But how do you know that what your dealer gets you is heroin? You know? I wouldn't feel much more confident that it's heroin just because someone tells me it is, and then sells it to me.

EDIT: But then again, I have had experience with heroin before, and the OP hasn't. So, I guess that's the difference. Hmm..
