damn ya'll are ragging on this poor guy like he DOESN'T have a 3 year oxy habit. i totally understand imparting the wisdom of the ages but im pretty sure every single thing he's ever seen/read about heroin, including your personal disclaimers, has added up to a big no-no, and yet here he is trying it anyway just like all of us did. we're a self-destructive breed, intent on learning the hard way, but at least he's ASKING for a little advice, and even though he's not exactly WWJDin it at least he's putting himself out there trying to become as informed as possible. i'm not condoning it either, hell after my first 3 months of escalating use i was running full-time with a geriatric speedballing street-creature who supplied our $300 a day habit through the ancient art of welfare fraud, and i'm sure our boy here has heard that same old song and dance, too. im relatively young but i've spent a decade coming to terms with my innate fascination with drug culture and the pursuit of altered states, which I have to believe is a deeply rooted and universal bond between anyone who finds their way into the Bluelight community. The deep personal humility im reminded to keep when reading the experiences the elder users and mods choose to share is certainly not lost on me, nor do i believe it is at all lost on our OP. i just have to say i feel the mood in some of these posts is starting to take the tone of a fatherly haranguing, which is counter-productive to an OP who has more or less already made his decision. middle school is for scare tactics. bluelight is for harm reduction. thank god he came here first, and hopefully he stays.
