Heroin Can I space out heroin doses to avoid tolerance?

[Dragynfyr]

I don't have a lot of experience with it, I've only gone through a few bundles, but each time I got one I stretched it months. One bag a night once a week. I think it's my inner jew-ey cheapness that made it possible- I tried it two days in a row ONCE and was like wow, it costs twice as much the next day to get even close to where I was the day before and still didn't feel as good, screw that. Plus after two days in a row my stomach started to feel crampy the next day, never really had a problem with hangovers or w/d like feelings after a single use. (Having a really heavy work load and lots of commitments doesn't hurt to keep you from going too deep either).

It's possible, but be VERY careful. Case in point, an old friend of mine and I acquired our first bundles together at the same time. Mine lasted a couple months even sharing a bit with people- A week or two later he had spent over 1200 dollars!! Everyone is different, this one has a lot of potential to cause problems if you don't keep it at a distance like a fluffy rabid puppy... still fun to run your fingers through once in a while, but you could lose a finger

I give it a month or so until you're back here begging for help combatting addiction. Every addict started with the same misguided cockiness that they are more careful than that and are too good to get pulled in, in many ways this is much more of a huge red flag that you will probably get addicted.

I bet you don't make it a full week before you break your once a week recreational maximum. After you taste heroin once it changes your mind and the only thing you will be able to focus on is the next time you will use it. Even if you are able to chip for a little while heroin almost always beats you.

It's called "Chipping" (Or at least that's what the sociologists call it). You CAN get away with chipping for years on end as long as you have the self control. Structure is good, just tell yourself "Saturday is dope night", nothing more. Just go in knowing you're on thin ice.

yeah i did this for 2 years and ive been addicted for 2 more years. not good advice. i agree with others heroin is not some kid shit. its not made to have an experience. its made to get you hooked until you ruin your life.

. Hell, I hope you do prove me wrong, actually.

He's out trying to get more dope and he was fucked since he got the idea to try it.

Yeah not recommending trying it, at all- it fucking ruined my friend in a weeks time. There's no way of knowing who will fall, how far, and how fast before it happens. I was filling the OP in a bit on what it seemed he was asking. Heroin was made to kill pain, and that's the only reason anymore I will have it in my home, tucked away in a medicine cabinet. It is THE pain killer, it is GOOD medicine and absolutely PRICELESS to have in your tool kit if someone gets hurt. As a recreational substance, it is dangerous.. Even though you may not be getting physically addicted doing it once a week, you're still THINKING about it, and the more those thoughts are reinforced over time, the more nagging they can become. If you're lucky you catch the creeping thoughts and rather then spend 6 days waiting for the 7th you just say fuck it n start buying pot.

So, i have been using heroin for a full year. Opiates regular *chipping* for 3 years. longer maybe. too each his own.

but then again i dont iv. so idk

 

[What was it?]

So can I continue to space out my doses for at least a week forever and still be shooting my intial dose?

NO!!! Please, is this a serious question?

If you drink half a bottle of vodka each Sunday, do you think it'll hit you harder or weaker after about a year?

Bryan21, in the last year, I can think of six different real life people or internet personae that were going to casually use in the same manner you describe. They even used similar language as you do: "I don't have time for an addiction", "I don't have the money", etc. They are all now addicted and using multiple times a day.

This isn't a psychedelic where you do it once and reminisce and think about how enlightened you are from the experience. It is or can be the most powerful opiate you will ever take and you're going to take it in a manner that actually reinforces the addiction.

Consider this: You won't do it on a Saturday and think fondly about next Saturday when your week is up. IV Heroin will consume your thoughts. It's ALL you will think about. The initial rush, the euphoria, the nod, etc will practically beckon to you. ALL the time.

Also, I'm going against the grain here but I think that the real answer is "No. Even if you somehow contain your usage to once a week or less, the amount you use will go up." Why? Because just like every first time in your life, the first time you IV Heroin will be your best time. You will constantly seek that first high by using more and more product.

Also, keep into account a recently discovered phenomenon called "environmental tolerance". Basically, the research shows that by shooting up in familiar location on a regular basis your body takes steps to protect itself. It does this by increasing your tolerance to the drug when you are in familiar environs.

So yes, you will use more after the first time. And I'm pretty sure you'll use more often than you initially plan to. Your own posts above reinforce this thought.

At this point, I do want to wish you the best of luck. I will have NO PROBLEM being wrong about this. Hell, I hope you do prove me wrong, actually.

I TOOK HEROIN ONCE 15 YEARS AGO AND STILL THINK ABOUT THE FEELING DAILY

I live in a city where it's not available otherwise I'd definitely to it again.

The first 5 minutes of a strong H dose....the flow from your chest outwards into your arms, can never ever be forgotten by anybody who has taken it.

I snorted heroin for a while a few years ago and was easily able to chip and keep my habit to twice or 3 times a month. Then I got a shot from a friend who was IVing. Not only did I become an addict to heroin itself, I became addicted to the process of preparing a shot and injecting myself with it. And once I finally kicked I started IVing other questionable substances because I was still addicted to the process. I no longer IV any drugs myself. If you are able to chip when IVing I commend you, but in the name of HR I wouldn't choose that method.

Im probably going to do heroin for the first time this week, will likely shoot about 25mg or so.

And I'm not looking to form a habit or anything (but who is?)...

anyways, I'm wondering if you space out your doses (like if I dont do it again for a couple weeks/months, etc.) can you avoid developing a tolerance so that you are still shooting the same amount as the first time?

If so, what amount of time would you guys recommend?

funny stuff if you ask me

you're going to shoot.............but......not form a habit?

shooting is a garanteed way to become addicted.

idk NOT ONE person who has shot and isnt an addit/in rehab or halfway home
not one...

and if meet any who say they shoot but dont depend on heroin or arent addicted, they are comletley lieing

its just as good as people shooting suboxone thinking they are getting better lol

man, your better off snorting oxycodone, which youd still form a habit but wouldnt be shooting atleast

and the only way to not gain tolerance, is to use like 2-4 times a month

excactly, the feelins too good, and not worth it either

if you wanna be happy, go out, get ass, have plenty of sex, socialize, get your body active with excerice or sports, thats real happiness...a substance shouldnt be making you happy, others and yourself should
