Hey guys,
I really hope that you can help me please! I had no idea that my mother was using H until I started feeling very unfortunate in the adjoining rooms and upstairs. In fact, I think that my entire house is permeated with the smoke from that crap'ola. I don't like the way it makes me feel. In fact I just realized that perhaps this is why I started feeling really badly years ago and had myself brought in for mental testing.
So, what do I do? I tried emailing the police discretely and anonymously with no response (dumb bastards.) Then I emailed a rehab clinic in a panic and they failed to email back also! I feel poisoned sleeping in my bedroom. I wake up and the world swims. My feeling and thinking are badly impaired which is such a frustrating feeling!! :( I was sleeping outside in a sleeping bag trying to figure out what was going on, but that left me sick. Now it is raining and I don't have money to put myself up in a motel.
This has clearly been going on for a long time, but then a few weeks ago I noticed that to my great surprise $300 that my dad left me when he died had disappeared from my dresser. 8o Since then the atmosphere in my house has changed drastically. I get very sleepy and confused, even aggressive. My mother went from being ditzy and non-communicative as I remember her to being constantly angry and abusive to me in a paranoid careless state. How long will that $300 continue to fuel her binge I wonder?
Advise me please you guys! I am thinking of having better insulation put in or something. Fans don't offer answers. Burning candles hasn't worked much. I've tried yelling at it, spitting on it, but it still won't go away! :! I am almost willing to call the police, but I am not sure what that would do. Again, I am sitting outside in the rain freezing right now because I feel it when I even step in for a drink of water and the feeling does not go away for hours. :?
Please send help!!
Thanks Blue Light!!

I'm guessing you've tried talking to her about things?

I may be wrong but I can't see how second hand H smoke from a floor away will have any real affect on you.. It's more likely a psychological issue which has been caused by / worsened by this crappy situation you seem to be in :\

I suggest a heart to heart, open, no holds barred talk with her when she seems most sober..

Otherwise.. get out of there :\
 
I'm sorry to hear your mom is using heroin. That is a rough hand to be dealt in life. I'm also sorry to hear about your dad's passing, and the fact that someone (likely your mom) stole the $300 he left you.

Hang in there, and know that things are going to work themselves out as long as you do your best to be a good person in life.
 
So have you actually confirmed she's using heroin?

Like rick said, I don't think the smoke a floor or room away would be enough to cause all those symptoms.

I really recommend talking to her, not trying to call the cops behind her back.
 
are you sure it's heroin that she's doing cause if she is angry and abusive and paranoid then you are most likely seeing her on a different drug or when she's in withdrawals as it is very uncommon to act like that high on an opiate
 
Noah do you have a friend that might let you stay over tomorrow? I would get out of the house for a night and see if you're still feeling poorly afterwards. Maybe it's not the second hand heroin smoke making you feel so shitty, but the fact you suspect that she is using stressing you out. :( Either way I can see you are having a crisis and need to talk to somebody. I don't think cops will help you much, just take her to jail. Then you will be in a more precarious situation.

Sorry about your dad, did he pass away recently? Did him and your mom use drugs together that you know of? I don't know what heroin smells like, and it may be something else she's smoking. What about family, is there anyone that you trust that you feel comfortable talking to? Sorry for all the questions but reading your story leaves me a little baffled.

You may just need to have a word with her and tell her the shit she's smoking is bothering you. But if she's an addict, it's likely to fall on deaf ears. You can also simply ask her, "Have you seen my cash?" to let her know you're angry. Who am I kidding? My son would go ballistic if I borrowed 5 bucks from his drawer, even if he had more than 100 sitting there and I reimburse him the next day. :!
 
My dad died last year of cancer. I think that this is probably why he didn't get along with my mom and they split up when I was very young.
I confronted her the other day and she said that there was nothing being smoked in the house except for a ton of marijuana.
However, the other week I hung out with her and her old high school friend while they were high as kites. Way beyond what 15 joints can do. They were extremely sleepy and she was being more aggressively mean than I have ever seen a person be.
I go out for walks all day long and I feel ok, but when I come back to my room things start to go wildly blurry and when I move my head everything shakes, Different than any other drug I have encountered. I know pot, LSD, meth, 5-meo-DMT, 'shrooms, alcohol, cocaine, X, nicotine, even PCP. But, this is different for sure.
Right now I have candles burning and fans on. I have an ION air purifier going and I tried swinging around a wet towel to rid the air of smoke.
If you ever met my mom you would see that there is something deeply wrong with her. Her last boyfriend was a real heroin junkie. He died of the stuff. So, I am not just confused.
I am as surprised as you guys that I can feel anything from being rooms away. But, it seems to permeate like I said. Any room in the house seems to have some of it. I slept back in another old bedroom and I had to still pull my stuff outside in the middle of the night.
Thank you very much for your concern! Keep the ideas coming please!
Love you all!
 
Do you know for sure your mum is even using heroin? There seem to be a lot of assumptions in your posts. Just because you're unfamiliar with the smell doesn't mean it's heroin. Using her behaviour as confirmation is not concrete evidence at all. What's more, heroin smoke will not be affecting you from the next room, and it doesn't just hang around for hours as you seem to be implying. The problems you are describing honestly sound more psychological in nature than caused by anything you're breathing in. If you're still convinced it's smack, do a drug test on yourself. If you're breathing in enough for it to actually affect you and give you blurry vision and head shakes, you'll definitely test positive. I guarantee you it's not that.
 
Trust me man any "heroin smoke" in the air will not be enough to affect you..

To be honest it sounds like you may be experiencing psychosomatic symptoms brought about by anxiety / depression / something else..

The only other thing i could think of is a gas leak of some kind? :\ But it's definitely not heroin smoke.. It doesn't sound like you have any reason to believe your mum is even smoking heroin.. She was really high and sleepy on mass amount of ganj.. can happen.. she gets more angry? Could be down to anything.. And your dizzyness and blurry vision being caused by H smoke in the air? That's impossible.
 
Hey man, i dont think its heroin she is using if she using something, probably meth or crack...heroin doesnt make you paranoid and psychotic, quite the opposite actually. And scond hand heroin smoke cant have any effects on you psycholigicaly or physically except make you feel not good if you have asthma (im not even sur of that). You probably should talk to her... try to straighten things out
 
Find her stash and hide it. She will tell you what she is smoking when she damands it back...
 
Thanks for the continued thought, but no, I am not just being confused!
When I saw her and her friend the other night there is no way that they were just stoned. It was like they could barely move or form complete sentences. Her very smart and educated friend had to ask me to work his phone for him.
I did suspect crack for a while, but to my embarrassment, I am sure that is wrong.
Gas leak is an interesting supposition. If you are sure that H smoke does not pool in the air then what about another drug? Because something is deadly wrong! I am thinking of ordering an air purifier or building a new floor, but this is not nothing.
 
^ There is no drug that will gather in the air in concentrations ANYWHERE NEAR the amount it would take to give you any affect.. unless you was in seriously small space with 5 people all smoking fat blunts for hours.. then there is a small chance you will get high.. But in a whole house? No way.

Honestly man was your mum drunk as well the other night? It doesn't sound like (or there is no reason to believe that) she's smoking anything but cannabis to me.. maybe mixing it up with alcohol (would explain the tired incoherent talk)..

Well a leak from a gas pipe should produce a very noticable smell.. I don't think it's that.

You say it only happens in your room? Again.. it sounds like your psyche is creating psychosomatic symptoms..

Have you been diagnosed with any psychological disorders because (and please don't take offence to this) your posts seem somewhat paranoid and your beliefs and ideas seem a tad.. :\ Why would you build a new floor? You also said that your dad died of cancer and this is what caused your parents to fall out (unless that was a typing mistake)

Have you not taken someone else up to your room to see if they experience these symptoms?
 
What state you live in. You should make sure your house doesn't have a leak somewhere an it's leaking carbon monoxide into your breathing air. Check your furnace an appliances make sure all the pipes are hooked up right. This could be the only thing. Let me know what's up YO!!

ok. one more try for carbon monoxide then!
i am sorry if i sound delusional. but, this really has stressed me out.
to clarify - my mother and father split up in 1981 when i was little disagreeing over mental and physical health issues of various kinds. he died last year of prostate cancer leaving me $5000.
i wonder who to call in the even of carbon monoxide leak? i will try google right now.
thanks all - you may have saved my home, family and life!!
 
You can buy carbon monoxide detectors very cheaply.. Look online or around hardware stores maybe?

(I've got one in mine.. it looks like a smoke detector)
 
You are in GRAVE danger Noah. Protect yourself now!

Hi Noah,

I am very sorry to tell you that it's almost certainly not carbon monoxide or mysterious gasses from the ground or even mold -- it's meth, heroin, and God knows what else.

To you and ANY person out there living with someone who causes their drugs to become "friable" (airborne) you have 2 choices and only 2.

1) Get away, and get to a different physical location than the offender. Seek help if you can't afford to.
2) Gather photographic and physical evidence sufficient to have the offender prosecuted, then while they are in the act of manufacturing or using, call the police. Manufacturing is better if you want to put them away for a while.

It is NOT your imagination. You ARE being exposed to 2nd and 3rd hand drugs as well as deadly chemicals. There is probably little hope for their rehabilitation despite what well wishing liberals would say.

PROTECT those people who are not doing drugs, and frankly those who are doing drugs need to be rounded up and taken somewhere they cannot hurt you or themselves any more.

The entire house and all possessions need to be remediated by professionals.

GATHER EVIDENCE AND PUT HER AWAY -- even if she is technically your mom. Do it now Noah (and every other Noah out there).

IT IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.

I pray you have resolved the situation -- and at least you will NEVER live with mom again even for a day.
