Just out of curiousity for someone who doesn't have addictive personality - do you think it is possible to use heroin, for example every 3rd or 4th day and not develop tolerance/addiction? Whatdo you think? I'd like to try it, although I'm scared of "try-once-and-you're addicted" stories.
 
it may work, it may not. it depends on how your personality is. maybe at first you'll be able to do it, but over time, once you start developing a tolerance etc... you might find it harder and harder to keep it down to every 3rd or 4th day. as is the style with most opaites....


go ahead and give it a try, but remeber, you're playing with fire.
 
At first it may work out, but eventually it is likely that you will begin using more frequently and you wont even notice it becoming a problem until its too late. You must use extreme caution if you're gonna be trying this...
 
^^^ exactly.



and dont think addiction cant happen to you. no matter how control you think you may be, you can get caught in addiction, ESPECIALLY with herion/opaites.
 
yeah, to risky.
Every fourth day will soon turn into every other day, then every day, then twice a day.
Seen it happen to alot of people including myself(pharm-opiates) only. no heroin but close.
 
maybe, maybe not...3/4 days is enough for a tolerance to start...after that, you're going to be going for more and more, more and more often...if you can do it, great for you, but it's risky.
 
you're forgetting essential elements:

- method of administration
- how much you're going to use
- how spaced out during this 3rd or 4th day (is it morning/day/night or just, say, night?)
- quality of heroin

these all come into play when determining both tolerance and addiction (as well as your personal reaction, but that is out of your control anyways)...

if you're going to inject, it wont be long before you do get withdrawls...

anyways, i would STRONGLY recommend against it... thats exactly how i started...
 
have you ever used heroin? if not, you may not even like it. i also agree that every 3rd or 4th day will lead to every other day. then to every day, then your hooked without even noticing it. this happened to me with oxycontins. be careful. opiates are the hardest to kick for me.
 
If you like heroin enough to use it every 3/4 days you probally like it enough to get addicted to it. Also, it doesn't matter if you have an addictive personality or not. It's not that you get addicted to the drug, it's that you get addicted to the feeling of the blissful warmth of the opiate.
 
i dont think its a good idea, addictive personality or not. heroin IS highly addictive, no matter the route of administration. every 4 days will cause a phsyical dependance in a matter of time. may it be a month or 2 months it will happen. dont think it wont happen to you. cuz it can and will. be safe.
 
I agree with TheTruth. Even if you don't have an 'addictive personality', it's a simple fact that opiates are extremely addictive.
 
If you are worried about try once and addiction stories how come you are asking advice on using the same drug you are scared of every 3-4 days?

Whilst I have never used H I think it would be a pretty stupid idea.
 
heroin is too good to use every 3 or 4 days. sure, it would work at first, but after a few months you will probably find that the days you dont use heroin will last very long and many of your thoughts will be focused on looking forward to the next time you can get high. the desire to use it every day may keep growing until you either become addicted or try to cut back. on the other hand, taking a small dose of heroin every 4th night to relax may work perfectly fine for some people, who knows? i think doing it once or twice a month would be much less likely to result in addiction.
 
I almost manage to stick to this regimine,I'll buy 1/2 a gram of H(always a 1/2) and this lasts me about 2 days maybe 3 if i'm not greedy>After thats finished i'll go 2-3days straight(well no H anyway)This works well for me and my tolerance hasn't gone up a lot,when i feel i'm using more i take a break for a month or so.

If i was earning more money though i'd be using more,this is my only motivation to get a better job right now:)
 
Let's see: It could work, or it could not.
If it does, you'll have lots & lots of hours spent high.
If it doesn't, you'll have a hell of a lot more hours spent, well, not so high & craving.

Sounds like a fair risk, doesn't it?
Oh wait, what is it we're talking about again?
... your life.
 
depends on who you are. I managed once a week use for 3 yrs, then 2 times a week, then i was fucked for the next 7 years. So i think its a dangerous gamble, unless you want to be a human Guinea Pig into opiate addiction and self discipline. I know which one usually wins.
 
if u wanna do it, be careful... i have friends who do what they call herion, but its really a cheap GHB imitation... i got some and gave it to a friend, and she got really sick. so get it tested or whatever u do... but i personally prefer coke :)
 
The first time I did heroin I had no problem keeping it down to even once a week or longer...until the first time I shot it. I think my addictive personality made me more addicted to shooting drugs than heroin though...I didn't have a hard time kicking at all since I had maybe only been using like 4 months (shooting up between 2 and 7 days a week). I did coke when I saw a problem developing as far as me getting sick, but I only did coke to shoot up (again)...I seriously don't even like coke, I just LOOOOVE needles...
