Harm Reduction ⫸Should I Try HEROIN?⫷

It's a freakin' drug, you do it and get high, seriously who cares. Yeah being high feels great but I hate it when junkies wax poetic about how amazing heroin feels.
 
..should i try heroin?.... ha
sure, cause replies in a forum should dictate your life decisions..
ive heard heroin described as "the drug that never lets anyone go".
in my experience, thats 90% true. the small handful of people ive met who tried H and didnt like it were the exception,
but most of them were cokeheads or tweakers, so they had something else to fill their lives.
i never expected to become a heroin addict, it kind of just happened.
like you wake up one day, get well, and look at yourself in the mirror, only your eyes look different..
oh fuck, im addicted to this shit. shrug and use some more. its not a choice it chooses you.

You're right whos there, I always used to think I'll quit later or ill never smoke H or fuck sticking a needle in your arm then you're a real junkie man I was wrong fentanyl ruined it though I ran out of money and fuck you got thto WD sooner or later. Even though ive been clean if I had it in front of me I wouldn't hesitate to do it again and I feel like crap for saying it but hey it is what it is.
 
I decided to try it awhile back because I'd been doing Roxies recreationally for awhile and I never got addicted, and they were becoming too expensive and too hard to get, so I figured heroin's kinda the same shit. I wasn't too big on the whole sniffing thing (and I could never shoot it, I'm afraid to get a flu shot) but I got used to sniffing it. I like it, it's a great high, but I really don't see how people get addicted to this stuff. I did it for 2 days in a row, then I slept for like 15 hours, and now I feel like shit. And it makes me crave cigarettes, which sucks because I'm trying to quit. I smoked a whole pack in like half a day. And it makes you SO itchy! Idk, it's a good high & I like it, but it's not something I see myself stealing the TV for. But I guess to each their own.

Hi Vivian, how long have u been fuckin wit H? I wonder if you will be the one who gets away with it?
 
What are the regular slang terms for heroin?

in Boston its called dope. thats it, lol

dont think I ever heard it called anything but dope. we dont say "black" because its NEVER black here and its always powder, whether silver, brown, while, whatever,but NOT BLACK.. EVER!

I say brown town, since thats my name and all, lol

I tried it for the first time maybe a few weeks or a month ago. I sniffed it only, no needles. I had this friend who got really addicted to Roxies so I was afraid to try them but I tried them and I was doing them for like 3-4 years on and off, and I never got addicted (thankfully) and someone said that they are basically heroin, which is a million times cheaper and much easier to get, but I was afraid to try heroin because I was afraid of getting addicted. But to be honest, I have friends who do it once in awhile, usually to come down from coke, and they aren't addicted, so I figured I'd give it a try. It's a very nice high and I enjoy it but the "hangover" just sucks. And it dries up my mouth and makes my voice hoarse and makes me itch like crazy and smoke like a chimney...blah...too many shitty side-effects.
 
When I was depressed more than a decade ago I wanted to use heroin; but I'm glad I never used it. Granted drinking lots of alcohol and smoking cannabis wasn't good either but it's a lot better than using dope.

My friends who are addicted to heroin told me at all costs to avoid it. How the high is basically like an opiate high you would get from oxy/hydro, or even codeine, but that it's more sedating, and that the drug lures you into addiction before you know it.

My opiate addict friends also said how dope is highly overrated, glamorized, and that eventually you get caught up into the cycle of using it trying to chase or recapture the nostalgia or original high, and you wind up physically and psychologically addicted to the dope/oxy, etc. Many of them also told me how eventually most people who claim that they'll only smoke or sniff dope wind up IVing it.
 
Of course the answer is NO!!!!!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER TRY HEROIN PLEASE!!! IF YOU ARE THINKING OF IT, TAKE IT FROM ME, DONT DO IT!!!! I have been addicted for 10 YEARS! 10 of the best years of my life (well should have been) were spent lying, hustling, robbing, screwing ANYONE over for money for H. I have done things I am too ashamed to admit. (never anything sexual if thats what ur thinking, but just fucked good people over) things I NEVER would have done.. and it wasnt even to get hi.. it was just to not get sick. that was the main motivation.. fear of being sick, unable to work.. and the whole life crashing down. so i did what i had to. every day was a battle. a stress filled, nightmarish battle. and i never had enough.. its not worth it.. if even one person changes their mind and doesnt do it because of this.. ill be happy.. please.. for your own good, i promise you, its never going to be worth it.
 
glamorized? No, I don't believe that H is glamorized, or overrated.. It's a drug, which is not glamorous.. In fact the only drug that is probably less glamorous are bath salts.. H has the best feeling of any drug.. That's my opinion, but it is definitely in the same category as any drug, it's just different.
 
I tried it a few times, well smoked it and all I got was a nice head rush, nothing spectacular about it at all. Reading all these posts and horror stories ensures me that I will never go near it again. I had a lucky escape. Thank you very much guys xxx
 
Yeah I find myself on a daily basis saying/thinkin to myself fuck how do I keep getting myself into this. It's been 9 years on n off dope. The last year has been IV use then I reached a point where I had to stop because of legal trouble, but once that ended I got back into it.....again. I find myself this go around only pricking my veins every now and then because somehow most people can tell I'm fucked up when I IV use so I mainly just snort it. I rather IV it but I can't afford to get back to where I was spending 2-300$ a day.
