you tell me one person who doesnt get hooked after shooting up heroin??
Myself. The first time I shot up is just short of 2 years ago, with cocaine. I played around with cocaine at first, and within a few months got tired of it - bored. I am this way with all drugs, I like them at first but get bored within 10 uses. Cocaine I played with a bit longer. Heroin has been the only exception. I've been IVing heroin for a little over a year now, and not once has my tolerance risen by a 1/3, nor have I ever experienced any form of withdrawal. My longest run of daily usage is probably about 4 weeks. My pattern of usage is that I inject every day, once a day, only at night, for about a week to 3 weeks, than I just stop cold turkey.
You could refer to my desire to do H as an itch, and after scratching it away, I have no desire to keep scratching. I've posted about this quite a few times, but you can't exactly search "CreativeRandom's biography on injection".
the addiction starts long before injecting, if you start out snorting
Depends on how you look at it. Perhaps one could say I am addicted psychologically. But not enough to get physically addicted (and I am confident in saying I will not get physically addicted, as I've used many, many times and and it's been over a year), and not enough to have to use daily. I have no problem going a few months without using.
injecting comes when you realize that you no longer get basically any effect from snorting
No. For myself, injection was just the practical way to go. I never snorted heroin, and I only snorted cocaine around others. Injection was just the most logical approach.
you wanna save money and get more fucked up
I inject because I appreciate the convenience of injection compared to other methods of administration, as well as appreciating the dynamic differences that other methods do not satisfy. It has nothing to do with money or getting more fucked up. I want to enjoi my drug the way I feel like it, and I don't care to do it one way or another simply because it is cheaper. Similiar to how I only smoke half of a cigarette because it starts to burn.
heroin addiction is no joke, and it will grab ALMOST everyone
I am aware that heroin is not a toy, and aware of how much truth is in that statement.
there is a select few people who wont get addicted, dont ask me how the hell they dont get addicted but they dont
Myself, and you are more than welcome to ask me how.
chances are, you are not one of those people
Your right, but I am just one of those rare people, from what I have gathered. I do not know many people who use heroin (or inject anything), and this may be relevant to why I have avoided addiction.
watch out for heroin it is the nastiest addiction on the planet
Thanks, but I think the idea of spending more than $20 to get high is enough to keep me from getting addicted.
Again, I think this is pretty good info you should take into consideration:
If your say or are worried about moving up to IV usage because you'll get hooked, you shouldn't be doing heroin in the first place.
). He wrote a whole BOOK about controlled substance use, in particular regular non-dependent heroin use. The book is called "Drug, Set and Setting" - you can find a few chapters online at drugtext.org . Well worth a read IMO
