Doing heroin once - possible?

I think it is possible.
The first and only time i ever did it, i was with a friend that was an 'experienced user'. He made sure i was ok, didnt nod out, ect. I quite liked it, i have never felt like that before in my life, it was good. I got extremly sick the next day, i think i threw up for 2hrs straight. I swore i would never do it again. He said to me, "you might not ever do it again, you might not ever have the urge, but one of these days, could be weeks, could be months, your going to wake up one day and want some heroin." I dismissed it, considering hes addicted, i figured he was just talkin smack (whoops no pun intended). Well, a little over a year later, I did wake up one morning wanting herion. I had had a dream about it, and in the dream i could actually feel the needle in my arm, when i woke up, it was all i could do to keep myself in my house and not out searching for heroin. I havent done it since and i wouldnt say im addicted, but i wouldnt think twice about doing it again, if it were offered to me.
 
SC is one of thr only people offering any accurate information... no, it is NOT POSSIBLE TO BECOMEN ADDICITED AFTER USING HEROIN ONCE! .. the closest you could come is having an enjoyable experience your first time and and wanting to do some more - same as ecstasy, LSD or any other enjoyable drug... addiction take some time to build ...
Yes, it;s very possible to get the dose wrong and overdose, especially if you're going to try and IV it (this is not recomended) ..
So shit, find a friend that doesn't want to kill you and have him help with your dosem go ahead and try it ... you can be assured that you're likely to puke and itch, you might get really sick and may hate the entire thing ... hopefully you will really enjoy it, but it is NOT POSSIBLE TO GET ADDICITED AFTER YOUR FIRST USE ALONE! ..
I recomend you listen to SovietContin as he is the most consistant for giving accurate and correct information on this subject..
If this thread is still spiraling out of control I will kill it when I wake up in 13 hours or so...
 
So my first heroin experience is not going to be pleasurable? I want to snort it and take it in very small amounts. If I feel I need more, only then I might do another small bump.
So I should prepare myself for a night of puking and itchines.

Possbily- maybe not- really depends... I've only puked once on H. Not even when I started iv-ing have I ever gotten sick. My wife pukes almost every single time.
I hear a lot of people saying that their first time wasn't all that great- nausea and just generally "not fun." The first time I did it- it was awesome. Should have known then and there I was in trouble (currently trying to break my habit unsuccessfully). Start small- see how you feel. I think most people their first time just do too much.

I doubt you will get any itchiness/puking from a "very small amount." Shit, I don't think you'd even feel a very small amount snorted, but of course I don't know the quality of what you're getting. I know around chicago I'd say you'd have to snort a whole $10 bag to feel like you should from it, but you still might have to keep doing more (this is for someone that doesn't have much tolerance). Oh, and do you usually get itchiness/puking from other opiates? I think that will kind of give you an idea if you will puke or not, but then again if you have done others numerous times, if you don't puke anymore from them, you probabbly won't now. Ok, I am rambling too much now...but anyways, I just realized, just do it and puke if you have to...it's really not that bad IMO cuz once you're on it, you really don't care about much so even if you puke, it won't matter much to you (provided you're fucked up enough).
 
I really think if you are only going to do heroin once, that you should shoot it...at least then you'll get the rush, which IMO is at least worth commenting on, even if it isn't particularily memorable in the long run. The nausea and itching (during the high at least) really aren't that bad, either...
Of course, make sure you have done other opiates before and know the potency of your dope before you shoot it....use common sense.
 
i did not read any other responses, but in short, yes it is most definitely possible to do H once and not be addicted. anybody who says that it is not is ignorant.

No, we didn't say this... you were only warned that "a night of itching and puking" was possible, but what was certin is that you COULDNT BECOME A HEROIN ADDICT AFTER ONE USE ..
If you're planning on a night of bump after bump then why not get a feel for the potency and then IV it? Because until you have IV'd it you have not "experienced" it... again, you can IV heroin and unless you make it a regular practice you won't get hooked (note: you can OD and die oyur first time though) ..
 
A very good question with alot of interesting replies. Personally I never had any experience with heroin, but like alot of you says, I believe it all depends on the user. I have a very addictive personality and I always feel in the dumps, so I know I will never try heroin until my self control gets stronger and I *know* I will not get addicted to it. Or maybe never try it at all. The only way not to crave for something is to not use it, like someone says here. And heroin is overdramizied by the media, it is definately possible to do it once and not get hooked.
 
Well bros I've done smack quite a few times and I've never had any cravings for it. I also know several people who have done it hundreds of times but are not addicted. Then again I also know some addicts so I'm not going to say it's a completely safe drug. My advice is not to inject if you have an addictive personallity. It's hard to get addicted if you smoke/snort it (plus its safer - you don't get the nice brick dust in your veins).
 
All this negativity towards heroin pisses me off. Heroin is not a dangerous drug, though if used incompitently it can be extremely dangerous. Medical grade heroin is prolly one of the safest drugs if used responsibly, though most people don't get pure heroin, nor use it responsibly and this is why people die. You should never drink and do heroin, this is why most people die from heroin. You should never shoot alone, this is also why most people die from heroin. You should test every bag before you shoot it. You really should purify the heroin. The real problem from heroin is addiction, nothing less nothing more.
 
heroin is a pain killer emotionally and physically
the first time you take it once your stoned if you like it youll probably love it instead of taking caution with it because your natrual emotions have been killed off youll maybe think its ok to do it twice and belive me not if you go down that road but when u do itll fuk your life people say that its the persons fault for getting a habit ect ect its true but heroin creates a false sense of security once high and thats where the self lies start and i could go on forever but my advice is definantly dont touch the shit its hell....
 
Heroin is not instantly addicting. Strangely, I found it not to be all that interesting in any regard, but then again, I never injected.
The so called 'rush', well...it isn't there with snorting, or at least I didn't feel it.
I did it a few times, but crack eventually got me (with one hit).
Oddly enough, although the crack high is a one time thing (each gets a little less interesting), the addiction with crack was, for me, almost unconquerable. It was far worse than meth.
The fact is that ultimately addiction is a matter of choice, even for the one timers like crack. I think there was a part of me that wanted addiction in order to have a tangible problem that accounted for other, more subtle, failures.
After all, I quit all of it, so how hard can it really be?
In fact, for that matter, a blow up on good MDMA, say, 120 mg, is as good as anything in terms of pleasure.
I rate heroin WAY behind that.
But that's just me.

This sounds good in theory, but not in practice.
When you get hooked on heroin, you generally really stop caring. When you are a junky, the word "responsibility" starts to disappear from your vocabulary.
 
Thats cause heroin fixs all your problems, well just makes all your little problems seem so petty and your biggest problem is now getting more dope.
 
ok, a LOT of excellent replies, almost too much to read them all :)
but I would just like to add one little bit of information I recieved a short while ago.
I cannot provide a detailed scientific explanation myself but a cure for heroin addiction was discovered by a group of russian scientist recently. while still in early testing phase it involves a complicated brain surgery, that alters a little place in your brain to the state it was before you tried H for the 1st time ever.
what concerns this post, is that the 'little place' is an organ that is permanently damaged after your first time of H and nothing changes that. it is also the thing causing the ultimate addiction. so far the addiction could only be cured psychologically but now there is also the physical method that in theory, should free you from the add. for good. which is basically good news :)
so, if you decide to try, be aware, that a part of you will be 'injured' forever or at least until you get it cured by brain op.
this info came from a pretty solid source in the media so as far as i know should be 100% authentic...
 
ravingmadass - you ask what I am talking about?
OK I'll try to explain further. I am talking about my personall experiences. Injecting gives the biggest rush, anyone who has injected, smoked and snorted can tell you that bro. That's why I say it's easier to get addicted through injecting. All of the addicts I know inject. None of the smokers/snorters I know are addicts. I do not believe that anyone who smokes/snorts can be an addict. An addict will always want the greatest rush and the biggest high. You can only get this from injecting.

Well I was an addict LONG before I started iv-ing. I only smoked for the longest time. Smoking is HELL on your lungs (obviously, iv has it's drawbacks as well), but I did it, every day, all day long (I work at home so I could smoke at will). Believe me, there are plenty of addicts that don't shoot.
But, eventually I turned to the needle simply because my tolerance was so high and smoking is sooo inefficient. Dollars and sense(cents). Of course, once I started shooting, my tolerance got even worse and I have an even bigger daily habit now...

Incidentally, ibogaine (sp?) is reputed to cure the heroin addiction within 48 hours. I never tried it, but there is some pretty strong anecdotal literature out there about it. Check it out.
