Introducing others to "other drugs..."

Has anyone else ever felt really badly about introducing others to their favorite drugs?

For example, I have introduced maybe three or four others to pain killers and maybe two others to heroin. It's not a good feeling, huh? These friends had already expressed interest in trying the substances for themselves, but without me, they may never have done it.

Thankfully, no one that I have ever introduced to pain killers or to heroin has become strung-out or addicted, but that possibility exists and increases, even, with each new person one introduces to a new substance. (I am a firm believer in addiction-as-disease, meaning that while some may be prone to addiction, others may not be.)

So, in other words, has anyone else ever felt like a real scumbag for introducing their friends to an "addictive substance?"
 
i regret a couple of particular instances. introduced a single mom to heroin and she became a junky.. :!

she was already on pain pills but heroin changed the game for her
 
I sometimes feel bad about introducing people to amphetamines. Opiates are different, people either do them and like them or don't, for whichever reason.
 
Well unethical. I've made a conscious effort not to introduce others to opium & benzos. Most of my friends have already done worse but if they show no prior interest or haven't already arrived at using them independently, i wont even offer them.

Smart. I wish that I had done that. I guess my reason for introducing others, albeit not a good reason, is that I have trouble using in front of friends and significant others without their insisting that they try as well. I hate having to lie, and I am not a very good liar to begin with, so using on the sly isn't really my style.
 
^ I hear you. During the summer i was taking alot of tramadol & one weekend at the pub it came up that i was on them so i offered my friend some but first asked him if he'd done any cocaine or planning on using any.

He enjoyed them but i was still getting paranoid because he was drinking on them too. Just not good.
 
This probably belongs in DC but I am ok with it. People were getting really shitty coke, heroin is much more worth your $ versus stepped on powder coke

-> DC

I also wanted to point out that when some people started to fiend I cut them off for good. They were still fiending months later when I saw one person and I was on Suboxone by this point.

That's exactly it! I remember scoring just two blues (Roxicet 30 mg) at a good price, so how could I resist buying them? I ran out, picked them up, and tooted them right before my girlfriend came home from work. Yeah, well, she saw my pupils and knew immediately what was up. How could I lie to her? So, I told her the truth, knowing that she would be upset because "everything we do, we do together!" 8)

Similarly, I lived with a significant other in her apartment for a couple of months, and of course she wanted to try whatever I was doing once she saw me chopping up an OC. Why would I be chopping up an OC in front of her, then? Because I do not, cannot lie, and it's an easy thing to do once everyone is honest.
 
i definitely harbor guilt about introducing others to heroin.. one or two of them went way over board and i know theyre broken for life now. its definitely a regret i have. :\
 
i feel bad about this one chick got her to buy some , this was back in the day i was like 15 , then she started banging it really quit havent seen her for years
 
Popped my friend's weed cherry over the summer, she's a huge stoner now. I'm pretty sure that's happened with a lot of other people too, but that's the most notable.

I've given salvia to a bunch of people, just because I love watching them and then listening to them recap their trip.

I'm excited to introduce my friend to the lovely world of e soon enough. I hope he likes it as much as I do!
 
I'm forever grateful to my friend who has introduced me to cocaine, MDMA, GHB and other drugs. Without him, I would probably still have been blissfully unaware of the amazing experiences that we can experience as human beings.

The only thing I'm staying away from is opiates, and it seems that is why I don't have any problem with addiction. Drugs just complement my life. Almost all the bad stories I hear are about some kind of opiate. I guess I'm lucky, opiates never appealed to me! I've tried codeine and morphine, and I'm not really interested. 8o
 
Doesn't it stand to reason if you support the legalization of a drug then you also shouldn't have anything against introducing a friend to said drug? If the drug was legal they would have unlimited access to it without you so any regrets about introducing a friend who couldn't handle it would also be arguments against legalizing the drug. Albeit this is assuming that the reason they couldn't handle it is unrelated to prohibition and would occur in a legalized environment as well.

That is an interesting point, and I suppose that it does stand to reason. But for whatever the reason, I cannot help thinking that some difference must exist between introducing a friend to a substance and that friend, without being told, walking into a store to pick up the substance. Do you know what I mean? There may not be a difference at all, but something about it still irks me.
 
actually no, because i want all the ice to myself. even if i wanted to introduce someone to it, i wouldnt be able to because they are already on it anyway. i did however get 2 people to start shooting up, which is a big no no in my book to turn anyone onto the needle, but these 2 bastards totally deserved it. they are both full blown iv ice addicts and as cold as this may sound i really dont give a fuck what happens to them, and i dont feel bad about it at all.:)

LOL.... Doesn't sound like that much of a no no if you don't give a fuck!!! 8)

I've been around ppl when they first use, but never supplied it... Let my lil bro roll for the first time at my place, really cause I knew he'd be safe then, weird thinking i guess.
 
Back when I was in college, I would get drunk & high on weed & my little brother was totally against drugs, he was 15 at the time. One friday night he was getting drunk with me & his best friend & since his best friend had been smoking weed for a few months already, my brother decided since we asked him to smoke with us, that he would try weed.......well the rest is history! My little bro fell in love with mary-jane & to this day, is a totally functional pot head.

Would my brother have tried weed w/o my help? Im 100% sure he would have & he went on to try lots of other things like shrooms, lsd & coke but he doesnt touch anything but weed nowdays & never tried heroin or got hooked on anything else.

Do I feel guilty? Yes, a little bit, but rather be me than some stranger, besides, I had some really good weed back then :)
 
I introduced alot of people to weed but always made sure that they know their shit beforehand, some of them really got hooked and are total stoners now, while I am just an occasional user. Somehow I have this talent hanging out with druggies but still being responsible.
