So, I have been taking opioid pain medication for about 10 years now. I don't mean off and on, I mean that I have been going to pain management for about 10 years solid. So, as you can imagine, I have a pretty high tolerance...and, from time to time, I've been known to run out of my meds early. This particular month, I ran out quite a bit early (like 2 weeks). Normally, I would just buy a few Oxys or Percs from a friend. But, for whatever reason, everyone I know was completely bone dry this time. I have never tried heroin before. Not because I have a problem with it necessarily, but because the Oxys or Percs were always available as my "plan A" back up. But, a friend of mine popped in and had a bit on him. He gave me the name and number of his supplier (with the supplier's permission, of course) and I decided to buy a bit to fill in the gap to my next prescription. The first time I met him, I only had $40 to spend. I bought $40 worth and the bag was TINY. I honestly had no idea if I had gotten ripped off or not, so I asked a friend who said the amount seemed about right. I came home and laid it all out on a plate. I ended up snorting about 75% of it right then and there. After 15 or 20 minutes, I was feeling GREAT, though I wasn't "nodding off" as I've read on other forums. The next morning, I finished it off. So, today I decided to buy a bit more. When I asked for the amounts, I was told a gram was $150 and that's what I decided to go with. Again, I have NO IDEA if what I got was an actual gram or not. That was at about noon today. At this point, I have very little left (like enough for maybe one more use). Throughout all of this, I STILL wasn't nodding or anything, though I was feeling pretty good. Tomorrow morning, I'll probably finish it off and that will be that. I have several questions. First, does that seem realistic? I mean, I was always told that H was a less expensive alternative than buying pills. But, I can honestly say that snorting $150 up my nose within a 24 hour time frame isn't too cheap. Secondly, is it possible that my tolerance is REALLY that high? From my pain doc, I get 3 15MG Roxies a day. If I want to get by, I take one. If I'm wanting to feel pretty good and chill, I'll take 2. But, if I really want to have a good night, I've taken 3 at a time before with no problem whatsoever. That's what gets me in the whole "running out" position every month, lol. Lastly, how do I know if I truly got a gram and is that a pretty average cost for a gram? It was literally just the tip of a sandwich bag full, a little bigger than a candy corn.
P.S. PLEASE spare me the whole "heroin is super dangerous" speach, as I've heard it all before about my Roxys, the Fentanyl patches I used to get, as well as every other opioid pain meds I've taken. Also, I chose to snort for several reasons. Mainly, I chose it because, even nurses who "never miss" sometimes stick me 6 or 7 times before finding my veins. They are extremely deep (as I am a BIG guy) and hard to find. Plus, I really just don't like the idea of injecting.
Luckily, as luck turned out, I found about 40 Percs at the end of the day and scooped them up, so I probably won't be buying anymore H for quite a while. But, it will still be great to know for any future experiences. Thanks!
