Agreed, I'll never recommend heroin to my friends but if they came to me asking for some or wanting information on how/what to do I'd help them out. I wouldn't recommend it, but i wouldn'd stop them. I believe in free will and that people make their own choices.
I have had several friends who wanted to try heroin or shoot it up if they were already doing it. I have always been very unhelpful in that regard, to the point of not even telling them which areas of the city to hit up, slang terms used to procure it (which seem to vary by location) or how to procure needles. I do not want it on my conscience that when they overdosed, I had anything to do with it.
The majority of my friends are female, some quite diminutive, and all I will say is, "pick a stop off the 'L' where you feel you'd most likely get shot or, at the very least raped. Get off there and start asking around, because that's where you'll find it." That's fortunately kept most of them at bay.
