When: 1/4/2001
Setting: At home with a few trip-sitters
I decided to test the heroin by sniffing a few bumps here & there throughout the week to see if it was clean enough to shoot.
I prepared all the stuff I was gonna need to convert the brown powder to liquid. I used several alcohol wipes on cleaned my right arm making sure that I was wiping in the same direction. I used a large thick rubberband as a torniquet <[sp?]. I put about $15 dollars worth of heroin in a fairly large metal spoon mixed with distilled water. Used a BBQ starter lighter (the kind that are like 8 inches long) to heat the mixture and played around with it until it looked as if it was ready (no more smoke bubbles).. put a cotton ball in there and used a fresh syringe (dunno gauge, but it was for insulin) to draw in the liquid.
I prepared myself for this new experience as I was told that shooting vs. snorting is much stronger. I managed to put the needle in there myself but I still had people watch me so that I wouldn't screw it up. In it went and now it was ready to push the plunger thing in. I only managed to push it in about 3/4 of the way before I yanked it out.
The very first thing I noticed was this feeling like I was cold and I had just layed down with a very warm & comfy blanket. My hands kinda went numb there.. and about 30 seconds later (I *think*) I started throwing up mad sh*t, mostly water. I continued to dry heave for a good 10 minutes or so but I was able to manage.
For the next hour or so all I could do is sit there (people were keeping an eye on me) and gaze at the other people in the room.. didn't have much energy to talk. I drank some Coca Cola to make the nasty taste from the vomit go away - it helped a lot.
Shooting heroin made me feel kinda like "I just don't give a f*ck".. that's the best way I can describe it. I'm sure that if the building that I was in caught fire, I could have cared less... because that's what it made me feel like.
Did I like it?.. umm.. sorta.. I wouldn't rank heroin among my top 5, but definately interesting.
Side effects?.. yeah I had side effects allright.. mainly I had stomach cramps the next morning and a headache from hell but other than that I was able to eat and function socially the next day.
Summary: I'd give it a 6 out of 10

I really don't get the whole heroin thing. Your report is great...and it's pretty typical of most of the heroin reports I've seen. No one ever says that it ruled, or felt warm and fuzzy. They usually talk about it feeling like "nothing" and getting sick as hell. Almost everyone says that it wasn't so great. That being said, it's just really weird how so many people get hooked on it. Go figure.
 
Yeah exactly.. not really as great as they make it out to be. I was actually expecting to throw up though... that's quite normal.. it's interesting but not *Wow* enough for me..
 
Thanks alot for this one!
Always wanted to know what exactly heroine
does to one.. but never had the 'guts' to try it out for myself (never will :-)
 
i had a few experiences with injected morphine and injected gravol (very good anti-nauseant). this was about as blissful a drug experience as i have ever had. i was completelly content, warm, and placid. albeit this was in the hospital, injectable morphine isn't exactly easy to come by.
ps. if you do ever manage to get somejust make sure you know your dosages.

I was injected with some unidentified narcotic (?) before surgery once...it was great, I didn't care about anything--whatever it was, it was wonderfully mellow. I can see how one could become addicted to that feeling.
 
This thread has some good information about IVing heroin!
I am bringing this back from the archive. Please notice that it is well over a year old!
