Kelby - by your logic no-one should try the drug because it is imposssible to use H without heading in a massive downward spiral of addiction, then death.
The same logic could be applied to all recreational drugs. Should you be allowed/even consider having that first cone, when there are plenty of people who have smoked themselves so far out of pocket and so far into schitzophrenia?
Should you even contemplate having an E - when Anna Wood and others have died? Plenty of people have died from taking MDMA alone, or from the adulterants that are commonly sold in E (and without GC - you never know WHAT EXACTLY is in a pill).
Should you take speed? PLENTY of people are addicted to it.
For some, drugs aren't strictly about the "party" aspect. There is a broadening of horizons, a change of mindset, new ways to get high. Telling those people (who are probably far more "informed" and "safe" than you are) that they are scum for their choice of drug is completely stupid - whether you personally use drugs or not. If you have experience with the drug and can make valid comment, fair enough, but pointing fingers and making judgements from a distance isn't necessarily hypocritical, but it is a shit, closed mindset to have.
There may be people who have poor willpower or problems to run from, and with those things known - they should be advised to steer clear of many things - not only heroin, but ALL drugs, gambling, etc.
But, you can't make people's decisions for them, and as such you may not condone their experimentation, but it has to be accepted.
There are no "good" or "bad" drugs. If we were all sensible and read about all the negatives of a particular drug (as is often done with H) then we'd be fools to try them. But, you hear good reports on E (ahh, hug drug, bulk chopped), weed, etc that it takes your interest, and you try. Some people have found that with heroin.
I think the thing to remember is to not question people using the drug, but the motivation of the people to use the drug. If the motivation for trying the drug isn't healthy or right for that person then no matter what drug it is, it's a bad choice.
A final point
Plus the fact that you now know users, sourses for the drug and how to use it!! all making abuse easier and within reach.
I know a shitload of cracked out "party drug users" and i would hate to be living their comedowns, does that make trying E bad..? because of the people who use it? I find a lot of people who use E are cracked out, false and totally out of control... but at least they don't use H?
