Experience: I've used Heroin around twenty times. As far as other Opiates/Opioids and Opiate-like drugs, I have tried Poppy tea, Opium, Codeine, Morphine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Hydromorphone, Propoxyphene, Methadone, Tramadol, and Kratom..

Method of dosing: Oral, Nasal, IV

Medications: None


To start out, I have been using Opiates/Opioids since I was around 14yrs. old (I am 20 now). Over the years, Poppy tea, Opium, Codeine, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Kratom have become my favorites. I never let myself enjoy Heroin the first few times I used it, and I kept saying, "I like Oxycodone better, it feels cleaner, and it's just a better drug overall." All of this was just a lie I told myself for quite some time because I was afraid to love Heroin.

However, I eventually got some really high quality stuff, and I was in a place in my life that I felt comfortable enough to embrace the warmth of a Heroin high. I dove right into the waves. To be honest, I never seen it as "chasing after the first high." It actually seemed as if each line/shot was getting better and better. The second day of a binge was better than the first, and the third was better than the second.

Every time I dosed, it seemed as if I was at the ocean. At first, the waves came on gently, slowly reaching an awesome power, then subsiding again. Every time I did a line/shot, the waves swept me away into a swirl of wonderful dreams filled with life, color, and beauty.

The actual feeling of being on it was like that of curling up into a warm blanket with a cup of hot chocolate after being out in the cold of a snowy winter. There is a defined warmth with Heroin that differs from other Opiates. There is a sedation that seems to be perfect, as it never causes me to crave sleep, but it gives me a very pleasant nod. The euphoria of Heroin far surpasses that of any other Opiate/Opioid.

Music is quite enhanced while being swept up in the wave. I feel really into the sound as well as quite motivated by my enhanced creativity to write music, both lyrically (poetry mostly) and on guitar. The only Opiates/Opioids or Opiate-like drugs that have ever caused this enhancement of music enough to mention as an extremely positive effect of the drug are Heroin and Kratom.

Perhaps one of the best feelings is actually the absence of feelings. There is a complete emotional, psychological, and physical numbness that I get with Heroin. I don't have a care in the world, and there isn't one damn thing that could ever bother me. It is a complete temporary escape from all pain.

All of the effects of a Heroin high seem to be enhanced by Cannabis as well. I don't get the complete effect from Heroin unless I combine it with Cannabis. The most prominent of these effects are the dreams and visual effects I get at the end of the high. When I start to nod, I get these dream scenarios going on in my head whether I have my eyes open or closed. They are always very beautiful and dreamy. I also get mild visuals that seem much more real than Cannabis visuals alone.

Aside from the feeling, I wanted to share some of my notes on the differing effects of three routes of administration. I have used Heroin orally, intranasally, and intravenously.

I have only used Heroin once orally. I had a batch of extremely potent Heroin, and I messured out 80mgs on a scale accurate to 0.001g (1mg). I put the powder in a capsule and swallowed it. After about 30 minutes I began to feel the warmth come over me in a very calm way. It did not provide any type of rush like other routes of administration do, but it did seem like it may be a positive way for Heroin addicts to ween themself off if they wish to quit using or just taper down. It's quite difficult to ween yourself with intranasal or IV administration because of the rush let alone with a completely different drug that you aren't quite used to such as Methadone. Anyhow, I don't have many more notes on oral Heroin as I interupted the high with a shot. However, it was worthwhile to me, and I let the high go for a couple hours until I did my shot.

Next is intranasal administration. This is my favorite way of using Heroin for a few reasons. One, I love insufflating drugs. I have grown to love the taste of Heroin going into my nose and then the drip. Intranasal Heroin gives me a nice rush about 3-5 minutes after insufflating it. The intense part of the high contiues to climb and fall over a period of two to three hours, but unlike other Opiates/Opioids such as Oxycodone, I don't feel irritated or uncomfortable in any way after the effects wear off. I just feel very calm, relaxed, and mildly euphoric for the rest of the night. Redosing is always very positive for me. I love feeling the waves come back over me again, and in a way, I like the calm waves of redosing better than the rush after the first line. The euphoria and dreams seem to run much deeper the longer you are on it.

Last is intravenous administration. IV Heroin is extremely intense, though I have never grown as fond of it as many have. As opposed to insufflation, I do not like using needles. They don't bother me, but I don't have an addiction to the needle like many addicts do, but rather, I have an addiction to the things associated with insufflating drugs. However, IV Heroin is a very powerful way of using the drug. The rush starts at about 3-5 seconds after the shot. The feeling is overwhelming, and it usually leaves me confined to the place where I am sitting/laying. My vision becomes quite blurred, and I find it difficult to be very social like I am with intranasal administration. The effects seem to climb and fall after the rush similar to insufflated Heroin. It is only a once in a while thing for me to use IV Heroin, as I find it somewhat uncomfortable. It is hard for me to judge a dose. I either get too little or too much.

In conclusion, Heroin is a drug that many people have a love/hate relationship with. I have heard it all, but nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself. Heroin is both good and evil, Angel and Demon. In this report, I swayed much toward the loving effects of Heroin but lets not forget that Heroin is an extremely addictive substance, and it should be used with much caution and responsibility. I have experienced moderate withdrawals from plenty of Opiates/Opioids including Heroin, and they are not fun. Luckily, I have an unusual amount of self control, and though I do have a problem with addiction, I know I can quit at any time. Many people can't.

Thank you very much for writing this. I always love opiate experience reports, and it's even better when they're written well.

%)
 
i've only used heroin twice, both times i snorted it. at the time, the only other opiates i had ever done were hydrocodone pills. i didn't get off on the heroin i snorted at all. the only thing i felt was a mild sedation, like i was kind of tired. definitely not anything to write home about, and i was very dissappointed both times.

this is just as well, because i am scared shitless of opiate addiction, as i am currently addicted to poppy seed tea. its not even like i do a lot of it... i make a batch about 4 times a week, and only because this is the only opiate i am able to obtain easily. i'm more mentally addicted than physically, because the only withdrawals i ever feel are the runny shits and just a mental state of wanting some. i feel like if i ever gave heroin a real chance and really felt what REAL euphoria is like, then any chance of addiction recovery for me would be zero. as it stands, i'm already scared shitless of my poppy seed tea addiction, and its not even that bad. i just don't know how i'm ever going to kick it.

still, reading a trip report like that makes me VERY curious about heroin... but its just as well that i don't have any sources for it, because i'd probably wind up fucking my life up even worse than it is.
 
damn, wicked report, but fuck that, im never touching it, just for the fact i know i will love it and im trying to cut down my pot smoking which is hard enough, though as u said, its hard, but i know i can stop if i really really want to.

peace
 
I admire the people who never want to use Heroin, especially if you have used other Opiates/Opioids. I currently have some Poppy pods that I've been making tea with, and I'll tell you, it beats the fuck out of making Poppy seed tea. It is easier to deal with and make, it tastes better, and it feels alot better. However, I can say that Poppy seed tea sure does work.
 
Great report, Piper, thank you :).

As malfunkshun said, just because it is easy for you to find Heroin doesn't mean its the same with others.

I live in a fairly big town but you cannot go on the street to find Heroin. Maybe weed, yes. But other than that, your luck is in the nightclubs, whose visitors eat 10 Es every night and snort 100 lines of coke but go into emergency mode when they hear the H-word. Pathetic.
 
Shit piper, if I ever become a junky I'm blaming you and this report. Heroin sounds soooo good, I've had experience with codeine and oxy's and if H is better than oxy's, I'm not sure if I can resist. An awesome report and an awesome ad for Herion.
 
I've edited all the unrelated banter and jabber out of here, let's keep it focussed and not on accessibility, thanks guys :)

Piper, another addition to be proud of!
 
Thanks for the compliments. :) Yeah, I always hesitate to write Opiate reports, as they tend to get people extremely interested or make people that already have a habit to crave really bad. LOL. I actually went searching because I read a report on Hydromorphone one time.
 
Very nice report, it's hard to write a good opiate report in my opinion.

I have tried quite a few opiates, with Oxycodone being my ultimate love. I love it very very much. And although I want to try heroin quite a bit, I don't think I will. I have a lot of willpower and have laughed at cocaine's feeble attempts to take over my mind (it's gotten close, and ive done more than i wish, but i still can get away quickly), but I know that Heroin's tug at your conscious probably makes cokes look like childs play.

To some extent I agree. Heroin lasts far longer, and the after effects are much greater than that of Cocaine. Though Cocaine can cause some of the most intense cravings than mostly any other drug, if you put your mind to quitting, Heroin is the harder habit to break in my opinion.

It's not really a "tug" persay. It's more like a "euphoric infestation of apathy". If coke's addiction was a single piece of cotten string, heroin's would be a multibanded, steel cable used for holding up bridges.
 
I too am very curious about heroin. But I saw a book in my college's library about it called ," It's so good, don't even do it once." That really stuck with me. Good report though, please read my story on shrooms and xanax, thanks!

Yeah, I mean think about it, why try something just ONCE, if you KNOW you are going to love it? That's like someone offering to take you fishing. You say you will try it but just this time. Even if you love it, you'll never do it again. Why wouldn't you do something again that you enjoyed, and why the hell would you want to enjoy something that you are never going to do again? I always told myself that I'd keep myself in control to some extent, but I never said I'd only try it once.
