Misc In terms of addictive pull, how does IV heroin compare to IV cocaine?

[infantannihilator]

I've done a lot of stuff in my day, but IV cocaine has such an insanely addictive quality to it, it's beyond anything I could have ever imagined or have ever dealt with. I find myself thinking about it all the time all throughout the day. I have dreams about shooting up. I'm controlling myself, because I have priorities and things to do and quite frankly, after blowing my tax return on it, I can't afford it. And that's cool. I had my binge phase and I'm good. I won't ever get to the point where I'm like a crackhead fiending for a single hit or a point or whatever, it would drive me insane to only have that one shot.

Still though, I've literally never felt such a pull towards a drug before. I never even liked cocaine that much before I IV'd it, was always too costly for what I got out of it. I've seen some people on boards say that IV coke is more addictive than heroin, and I suppose it varies from person to person, but is there any shred of truth to this?

At least with cocaine there isn't exactly a physical withdrawal.. but man the mental game it plays on me; I'm so glad I am actually aware of it. I figure heroin is probably similar, but with the added physical withdrawal which would be a nightmare I can imagine as I had a bit of a problem with codeine before, cwe'ing 4-500mg and slugging it back in a go.. and even that was difficult. I didn't sleep for a week and everything ached and hurt and I was bed ridden.. It's essentially like taking morphine due to the conversion, but still, it's not a heavy opiate.

Anyone with experience care to share?

Opiates are by far more addicting then Cocaine (to me). I do love cocaine though ,but I have never found myself to be addicted to it as much as opiates . I personally go to bed dreaming about opiates , but which opiate is what ever one I know I can get my hands on ,and it differs every dream . I have smoked crack shot coke ,and shot heroin ,and shot meth which I like more the Coke . Still theres something about opiates that has changed my whole life since starting at the age of 13 . IDK This is just me, and it may not be helpful to what your wanting .

Well, you've done both of what I mentioned and it appears coke never held much over you so it does help to figure into factors im imagining anyway. It's weird actually, I shot coke a few times and was like mehh.. then I finally ramped the dose up to that nauseous back of the throat amazing overwhelming feeling and from that point it was like.. need more. I think you need to hit a certain dose, or really feel that super rush before it grabs you really hard. At least thats how it worked for me.

I like opiates, I know I do, and to be honest I stay the heck away from them for that very reason. But I've been toying with the idea of trying heroin, and a speedball, and I know since it's in my mind I'll likely end up doing it at some point. There was a point I said I'd never ever IV anything, and well, here I am. Not to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I think anyone on here would agree if its in my mind like this, at some point its going to come to fruition
