Heroin First time using

Hi guys..I'm new around here...But surely not new to opiates, I'm from Quebec Canada...I think that ADDER got it right.. So for me the best thing for you to do is to smoke it ( Chasing the dragon ) on foil paper. The type of H you got is Called BROWN SUGAR. Meant to be smoke or diluate into citrus juce and water in orther to inject. And no matter where you are living you can stubble upon some pretty good stuff or pretty bad one. Drugs got no borders these days. I am in a small french town where everything is quiet and peaceful but Montreal ( a big city ) is just 3 hours away. So got hooked. Now I'm 11 years clean of it. But I'm on a methadone program to have a normal life. SO MY BEST ADVISE FOR YOU DADANKYDANK...........................IS.......LET IT GO....DON'T TOUCH IT. YOU WILL SUFFER THE WORST SHIT YOU CAN IMAGINE . But hey it is just my opinion, doesn't worth much... But should have listen to people telling me 20 years ago..wouldn't have lost so much in $$$ times and love....
 
LOL

You're fucked. Welcome to our exclusive club. Our only requirements are that you continue to abandon all rational thinking, continue to use hard opiates, eventual (within 6 months to a year start shooting your dope), and ultimately fuck over your family and nearly completely destroy your life.

Oh yes, he is.

No matter what you keep telling yourself now how you're not going to "overdo" it, this bitch makes you come back so easily so many times.
 
I have 4 weeks clean of the devil and still think about it every 15 minutes i remember my first time I did about .05 and felt great then things went down hill im not going to tell you not to because if your like me then you gotta figure it out for yourself but have fun and also just a suggestion if you smoke it you can dose it out much better just a thought what i did when i first started good luck and id love to hear what you think
 
Intravenously? Oxycodone is even slightly weaker than morphine in potency on a mg basis or at most equipotent for simplification... And heroin is anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times as potent as morphine depending on the source. So it's a bit far from "pretty similar". From my experience heroin is around twice as potent as morphine and oxycodone is slightly weaker than morphine.
 
Reading this thread reminded me of the time my best friend offered me heroin when we were 17.

I had been abusing opiates for quite some time up to that point, and I have always had an interest in heroin. I turned it down. I was scared I would like it too much.

I've regretted it slightly over the years, always curious what it would have been like.

Now I'm glad I did, lol.
 
I'm sorry about bringing back this old thread, but I feel it's almost necessary to give an update. I'm sitting here reminiscing on the past, reading through this again, wishing I would have listened. I hope I can save someone before it's too late and they make the same mistake I did.

Just under 5 months later, I feel like I've lost everything... My girlfriend, my old friends, my family, my grades and college... Pretty much my life.

It's crazy how irrational your judgement and decision making can be when you're on heroin or trying to find it. I can't even explain the pain I've caused my family and loved ones around me... you don't realize it until it's too late and pretty much everyone has given up on you.

PLEASE, if you're considering trying heroin... it's not worth it. It truly amazes me how anyone can lead a functional life being addicted to opiates and if you're able to, kudos to you. I've been pro-drugs my whole life, and I still am... but please consider EVERYTHING before you try heroin and realize what you're possibly giving up on. I've never felt so down in my life and thought I'd never be in this situation.

Mods, feel free to close this. I just needed some closure.
 
So you are just 5 month into the game. Dont make the stupid mistake to not stop heroin because your life is so misserabe now and its all you have left for to live. You can turn this around if you get proper help. Please go to inpatient rehab as long as possible! You will get support back from your family and friends, i am sure, but this is work and will take time. Dont stick to buprenorphine or methadone, it will just prolong the suffering and in the and you will be in much deeper trouble then you are allready now.

It's strange how we all knew how incredibly important that exact moment of your life was, except for you. Don;t feel too bad, we didn't listen either when others warned us. It's really, really sad to read this thread. I have been clean (well, on subs) for a few years, but the pain you feel is so tangible to me it almost makes me nauseas.

So it's been almost another year that has gone by. How much further into this are you? Shooting your dope by now I'd assume. I truly hope you post with some good news that you turned it all around and never looked back .You were 5 months in, picture being 5 years, or decades in, and how much exponentially harder it is to stop.

Anyway, please feel free to update everyone.
 
Lol i had a moment of doubt on the ppl warning you, for a second i was like well maybe this guy can manage usage here and there since he manages with Roxies. THen i read on, my life is gone guys everything.. Well there you have it guys, i was one of those lucky ones, i'm off dope now and was a daily user. Thing that got me off was i kept getting pneumonia and shit from black tar, if it was powder i seriously think id still be snorting it. Anyways, you can turn things around your still early into the game.
 
I am sorry that you fell like we all do. I remember when I made the switch from oxy to heroin. I thought life on oxy was complicated little did i know what heroin would be like. I will never forget that day or that first time shooting, my life will never be the same. It happens to all of us we never end up using "only on the weekends" or every so often. I honestly thought that i could do it that because of all my control over everything else i could manage.

Even though everyone said dont do it turn back now, we all end up steering into the rocks because of the sirens song.
 
when i first did it, it was really good, pure white. i had been at about opana 20mg 3x a day sniffed, and the first time i did heroin, i split half a gram, with 2 other people and i got my nod on, hard as shit, so start low, the first 1-2 weeks, you'll probably be able to make a half last you like a day or 2, but i was also using xanax on a regular basis with every dose almost
 
I can relate perfectly, I thought I could control heroin, but like most people I fail miserably at it.

I used for about 2 years, had a few weeks of clean time, but relapsed recently for 2 months, now 7 days off everything but weed. It's fucking hard, but doable to get and stay off heroin or other opiates in my opinion, you just have to realize they're too good to handle and find good alternatives, not other drugs ideally, but something that really lets you vent, be it normal therapy, blogging, exercise... whatever works for you.
 
I'd start small sense you have no real tolerance to speak of. If it turns out to not be enough or it's not the high you were looking for you can always do a little more until you hit your sweet spot. Just start small an work your way up. that's the best advice I can give you. As for the Soma's 9 hours should be more than enough time, if you want to wait 12 hours go ahead, it probably won't make a difference. Just don't mix the H with the soma's or else you could be on super "nod" mode. Hope this helps you out, good luck an let us know how it goes.

Mike ;)
 
Don;t feel too bad, we didn't listen either when others warned us.

What about those of us who knew intuitively that they would be going down a path of addiction, but went right ahead with it anyway? I had always done heroin off and on throughout the years but my addiction came after things started going wrong in my life. Heroin came back around and I literally just ran with it. I did it every day, even knowing full well that if I kept it up, I'd eventually start getting sick and would need it. Now I sit here today, typing this, wishing I could just stop. As much as I still enjoy using it, I know that it has become my whole life and other things are passing me by. It has to stop. I really just don't want to go through w/d again and it's my only way out.
 
It depends on the potency....I would just keep doing bumps to your where you wanna be feeling...But really don't do that shit a lot.
 
It has to stop. I really just don't want to go through w/d again and it's my only way out.
Suboxone is a wonderful thing. I wouldn't recommend getting on maintenance unless you've tried to quit before and just can't stay clean. But getting on subs for a few days and then tapering down, is like magic when it comes to w/d.

As for the OP, QUIT NOW, the longer your on it the worse the w/d gets and the more fucked up your life gets. I was pretty miserable quitting dope after snorting a few bags a day for 6 months, but at that point I couldn't even imagine how bad w/d would be from shooting a bun a day for three years. It just gets exponentially worse you will have less and less going for you. At this point i'm just glad that i'm still attractive enough that i can make a whole pile of money being paid to you know what.
 
thats the only type of heroin we get in the uk,you need citric acid to mix it before you shoot.been using 15 years in the uk's worst drug city(glasgow) and not once have i seen anything different ever!...from reading a lot of the american posts,it sounds as though the gears different,do you guys not need citric acid over there?
