Going into a heroin deal knowing imma need 2-3 bags if they're real good and real fat and I got potentiators sucks. Yes that's not like shooting a bun but its a damn lot for someone like me who does opiates less than once a month,sometimes less than once every 3-6 months.
I don't know where you're buying from, so that makes a difference as what type of bags you're getting. In CT, it seems like they're mostly the thinner style bags. You'll see these in Hartford and they typically aren't that fat, but they're really cheap, like half price of what it is in New Haven. However the bags in New Haven are typically the wider ones and have more dope in each bag.
Back about 3 years ago even though I already had 6.5 years of opiate abuse/addiction I had been coming off a period of being clean. I was shooting at the time and had shot up numerous times before. At this time I was probably using 2-4 times a week, but that was too much so WDs started coming back and it was too easy to start using everyday. Anyways when I was using the 2-4 times a week, I had picked up bags lets say on a Tuesday. I maybe got 5 and sold 2 or 3 to a friend. These were really good bags. Shooting 1 got me blasted. So the next day I figure I'll buy 6 and just keep them for myself. They were really good bags and I wanted to grab them while they were around. Since I had been using a bit and already had a lot of previous experience I decided to do a 2 bag shot. Not a huge leap and typically not too big of an amount even though these were the bigger style bags.,
Since I knew the dope was good I knew I'd get a good rush. I actually had pushed 911 in on my phone and figured if I felt like I was getting in trouble alls I'd have to do is push send. Did the shot, took the needle out of my arm, and then lights out Carl. I don't know exactly how close I was to dying, but it couldn't have been too far. If it had been a 3 bag shot I wouldn't be posting here now. After about 40 minutes I suddenly came to. I was sitting in the drivers seat slumped over onto the passenger seat. The passenger seat had dope bags, needles, needle caps, piece of cotton all out there in plain view. The belt was still pulled through and was resting on my lap. If anyone saw that they would probably think I was dead or I possibly could have been arrested. That didn't matter at the time because I was so out of it. I had to go on at least a 25 minute ride home and I was not sure if I could make it. I was sweating bullets when I woke up and I had a killer headache, most likely from not getting enough oxygen.
Anyways the moral of the story is bags are so subjective that I can never really understand where someone's tolerance is at when just hearing numbers like this. I know several people who use a bun or 2 buns a day from Hartford. I got a bun earlier today from Hartford and the dope was alright. Not fire, but it was good enough to get a rush and a decent high. I already did the whole bun though, two 3 bag shots and one 4 bag shot. For where my tolerance is now, if I had gotten a bun from New Haven and it was the good quality dope, I probably could've done the whole bun, but I'd be much more fucked up than I am.
So if I ever hear of people shooting grams or multiple grams in a day, it just makes me think the dope isn't that great, even though no one will ever say that. Years ago they did a study where they took life long addicts and gave them as much heroin as they wanted. They were monitored for safety, but they were allowed to get and go as high as they wanted. The point of the experiment was to see if people would just keep using more and more or if there was something like a ceiling level. In doing this they were removing any financial issues, removing chances of deals going bad, removing the criminal aspect so you can't get arrested, and they were giving them the same quality product everyday throughout the experiment. It wasn't like in the real world where one day the bags might be fire and then the next day they're decent. Anyhow, I believe all the people stopped at between 2 and 2.5 grams. Now I'm sure this was medical grade heroin (diacetylmorphine), but after reading that it always makes me skeptical of people who talk about doing more than a gram a day.
Sorry for the long post. This isn't directed solely at you TopHat just anyone posting how much dope they're doing or how much they need. So like in the OP the poster said he uses a gram a day and that makes him feel more normal as opposed to high, this after not being addicted for that long. That just sounds like weaker dope. Maybe weak is the wrong word, but more like an average level, not fire I wouldn't think. OR the poster has the weights off. Then again maybe he is doing that much. It's all very subjective.
It's not we're all comparing how many 30's we could blow. That would be a dope-ass competition though. "As soon as you nod, you're out! Keep blowin' til ya can't blow no more"
-----------------------------
For those TLDR people:
---Bags are subjective depending on the style of the bag and location it was purchased in.
---Heroin strengths vary greatly and are entirely subjective
---IMO, generally people who say they do a gram or multiple grams a day must have weaker dope or have incorrect weights
---They did a study using life long addicts where they got all the medical grade heroin the wanted for the sole purpose of seeing how much they'd use. All ended up staying around the 2-2.5 gram area
---Contest where we blow 30's and are eliminated only once you start nodding.
