I'm not a regular heroin user, I've done it twice before. Yesterday I was snorting what I was told to be china white heroin, but I think it was cut with something else.. perhaps fentanyl? I'm not very experienced so I'm not sure.
But tonight I am drinking and I'm wondering if this is safe. It's been 24 hours or slightly less since I was snorting the heroin/(maybe fentanyl) mixture.

Now I know never to mix opiates and alcohol but can getting drunk tonight be okay, since it's been a day without use? Again, I'm not a heavy user, and I had about 2 weeks off of heroin before yesterday.

Thanks very much!
 
24 hours should be enough time.

If you want to be on the extra safe side you can drink more slowly than usual and see if the effects of the alcohol are any stronger than usual, but heroin doesn't last very long so 24 hrs between using it and drinking should be enough. (Fentanyl doesn't last very long either FYI, but it's common for people to call white powder heroin "China White" when it's just heroin and not fentanyl - why did you think it was fentanyl by the way, if it was due to some reason other than the name?). Just to be clear, you are not currently feeling any effects of the heroin at all now right?

Also we don't do "urgent" posts on Bluelight because we can't guarantee anyone will reply right away.
 
Sorry about the urgent, I won't post that again!
No, I am not feeling any of the heroin's affects currently. I thought it was fentanyl because I've tried heroin before from a different source, and it had lots of people supporting the product saying it was very strong, pure heroin. I bought this batch from someone else, and some people said it felt more like fentanyl than heroin. And, also, this batch that I tried yesterday, felt different. I didn't really nod, and I got very bad headaches after a few hours.

Thanks very much for the responses, though! They are greatly appreciated.
 
Based off your post it sounds like you really don't have an opiate tolerance correct? If that is true then I strongly doubt your heroin was cut with fentanyl. Fentanyl is an extremely potent opioid and is known for taking the lives of many opiate addicts even with a massive tolerance to opiates. I think if you had little to no opiate tolerance and you were sniffing dope with fentanyl you wold have been absolutely floored puking and sick or just plain overdosed and went unconscious.

As for the drinking question, Swimming gave you extremely sound device. I would also recommend that you drink slower than usual and pay attention to how the beer is affecting you and just make sure that the drinks aren't hitting you harder than they should. If this all comes out as it is then I would say your safe to drink normally.
 
Yeah 24 hours is probably plenty of time.. but like others have said, the fact you are new to dope and don't have a tolerance to opiates means that they hit you harder and will last longer so I'd still be easy on how fast/how much booze you consume.

And just for your future reference, don't get excited when someone says "this is china white" or "this is such and such dope" usually they have no idea what they're talking about and what you have is nothing close to that. Hah.

depending on where you are though often china is a fentanyl derivative and contains no heroin.

Yeah, what I was trying to say was that even though "China White" is used in some places to refer to fentanyl or related drugs, it is also used as a term to refer to white powder heroin in many places. I was just trying to explain that the name in and of itself doesn't mean it's fentanyl, just in case that was the reason the OP thought it was fentanyl.

. . . . . . . . . .

Anyway, we have no way of knowing what was or wasn't in the OP's dope. I was just asking to make sure there was no reason to assume that whatever it was could be dangerous to use alcohol 24 hrs after using it (like just in case they answered saying it lasted for a really long time or something and that's why they thought it wasn't just heroin - not that fentanyl would last longer than heroin but just to make sure, if that makes sense).

Best thing is just to be a little extra cautious with the alcohol and take it slower than usual.

True. Especially if it's the person selling it, it's often just a marketing tactic.
