Thankfully I have managed to avoid ever doing H. In all the ten years I have been devoted to pills, I knew intrinsically that I would be so seduced by banging anything that I decided never to do so. I am sure I don't know what I am missing, but I also have had several friends die from their addictions to H and my former girlfriend of 12 years is currently in the big house after a brief but intense journey down needle lane.
I have told myself many times that I would not escalate to a higher dosage or graduate to the next opioid, yet telling yourself anything is meaningless if you don't take your own advice (easily said, never easily done) So I can imagine a future point, after I have run out of drugs that work and after I have exhausted the goodwill of all the people who, for some unknown reason give a shit about me, when I will either resort to heroin.
 
yes used to use vicodin, percocet, roxicodone and oxycontin (and diluadid a few times). when i was abusing those i was using them daily and at one point IV'ing , and not only painkillers but coke, speed, etc. anyway now i'm on prescription vicodin 40mg a day, and i use heroin once a week, for maybe $30. i'm not an addict and i'm living my life happily and well. i dont want to inject heroin, and i have no urge to buy it daily because i know i have my prescription so i can use it once in a while, compared to when i wasn't on any legal pk and was taking just pills and shooting, (i've shot H, but only twice, whereas i shot oxy multiple times daily for a few months straight).

heroin is great. but its only good in extreme moderation, i plan to stop completetly after tonight/tomorrow and just stick with my Rx and slowly wean off of that or at least get on a better drug like a low dose of methadone 10mg or 15mg (that's my plan, seeing a pain specialist b/c my doctor said he can't write an Rx for 'done, but pain specialists can, and i can't go to a clinic for pain (only go for being an addict) and i asked my doc if i could do that and he said no because i'm not an addict (even tho he knows i relapse occasionally with C and oxy) he says no, and that he doesn't even think they'd take me. anyway. yeah i switched from pills to heroin. and saved money however, when i first started it maybe 5 months ago, i did binge hardcore for like 5 or 6 weeks and spent $2000, so of course if you go nuts it can be very powerful , shorting acting and more euphoric than oxy (not talking IV'd, plugged/oral/sniffed). it seemed to wear off after about 1.25 hours compared to oxy which was around 1.95-2.25 hours (high effect) with 25-30 and 45-60 minutes, respectively, of a lingering buzz, but with H you want to re-dose in much more, it's a lot like coke in that way. with oxy its not AS intense.
 
I progressed from pills to powder and tar in a pretty short time. Pills were way to pricey and not enough of a bang to buck ratio. I normally have to go pretty far out of my to get H though because if my friends found out it wasn't just a casual habit I'd have a pretty disappointed crowd to deal with. That keeps me in check thankfully (kinda).
 
nope!

Never want to EVER EVER EVER try H. Seems so disgusting to me! plus i probaly cant get it anyway hahaha!

I never pay for drugs. maby ill put 5 on a sac to smoke but never by anything myself.

Luckily my oxy intake comes from the rents (; But not too much maby 1 or 2 20 mgs every 2 weeks !

Starting to hate the oxy drips, probaly snorted my share of oxys. Didnt like it in the beggining, loved it, now i really cant stand the drips, even if ill be high as fuck 5 mins later! =//
 
Me and my gf went from codeine pills to H. H is much more fun than codeine, and worth the extra $$ for the nice buzz it gives. We have only ever chipped tho and never intend on doing any other method. We've been doing pretty well at doing it only for special occasions :)

There and back again, my friend. Started with oxy/hdrocodone on occasion, then got a good hookup for Oxy IR's, morphine and methadone, got all strung out, hookup dried up, got sort of clean from the pharmie opiates but that itch kept wanting to be scratched ... so started in on dope, got all strung out, then did a suboxone taper,now opiate-free as of about a week...still kind of on shaky ground.

wow, this sounds almost exactly like me. except that i've jumped between suboxone and dope a couple times now. currently being good on the subs tho...
 
Ive snorted H, but I disliked the high very much, and would much rather have some opiate pills.
 
I haven't. I am hooked on pod tea now.
Let me say this though....
The only reason I haven't started banging H is because it is not very available to me.
That is the only reason. If somebody brought some to my house or something that where the situation presented itself, I would certainly do it. (I am however grateful that that hasn't happened.)
 
I haven't. I prefer pills for one reason: I know what is in them. Although I do like poppy seed tea every once in a while.

Besides, I don't even know where to find heroin around here.
 
i've been on hyrdo/oxycodone for about 5 years if they had heroin in my area, i'd probably be doing it, to be honest. as far as i know, the only place to get it is 3 hours away. i did do about 6 months of iv'ing dilaudid, and really liked it. i couldn't afford it after i lost my job though... probably a good thing.
 
Yes.

I started taking Vicodin, Percocet, etc. when I was around 14, then got all fucked up on methadone, fentanyl, OC's, and whatever else I could get around 17. All the while I said I'd never do heroin, but I ended up snorting it when I was 17 or 18, and started IV'ing it soon after. I don't use needles anymore. I'd probably snort some H if it came around, but I haven't been doing opiates much lately. I do them when they're around and I can afford them.
 
My mom was on Lorcett plus when I was 16. She used to give them to me but the first time I took one I got all pill sick but liked the high. So for 20 years (seriously) I would break the pills in half, NEVER took a whole pill. As a result my tolerance remained relatively low. 2 years ago, I started taking entire pink lortab 10's and that got me noddin out and I liked that shit alot!!
anyway, it was then oxy 10 IR's then 40's oral. ok.....a year ago, the old boy came to my town so I said "what the hell" and got myself a gram. I didnt mess around with snorting or smoking. I grabbed one of my wifes insulin spikes and OH HELL YEA BABY!!!!!!! That was what I have been looking for.

But I am one of the lucky few that does not have physical withdrawl to opiates.
And my tolerance stays low...one tenth will give me 3 shots. I usually do this on the weekend. but not every week....
Also, after doing H , i decided to iv an oxy and to be quite honest, it felt the same as the old boy rush wise and I got the same nod effect.

LONG LIVE BL!!!!%)
 
I started doing heroin first and then I went to OCs. I don't even remember OCs being around in the mid 90s. I looked up the history and apparently they've been around since the 1930s which is news to me.
 
the first time I took heroin was afteer the first time i took opioid pills but I don't take either with any regularity.
 
Luckily my oxy intake comes from the rents (; But not too much maby 1 or 2 20 mgs every 2 weeks !


WOW

that was aout a month and 10 days ago. Now its at least 20mgs a day, every week! addiction like wahh!
 
No, I live in a place where H is rare. Pills are just way too easy to find so I don't really care all that much about H. Have been doing more opium though so that could be considered a step up, never H though.
