I just did heroin for the second time ever last tuesday (my first time ever was months ago). On tuesday I only snorted a full bag and got a nice rush and high and all. wednesday i did the same thing. didnt do any on thurdays but then yesterday when i did one i didnt get a rush or anything, and ended up doing 6 whole bags from 3pm-12am. without ever getting a rush. so today just about a hr ago i did 3 bags at once and finally got a rush & nice high like on tuesday (i also did 2 more 15-20 minutes after the 3). Has anyone else ever had their tolerance raise so quickly or know anyones who did?

BTW i have been doing just a couple 10mg vics at a time for the last few months. since perc 30s and even 15s r damn near impossible to get around here anymore w/out paying mad money.

Thanks in advance everyone!
 
its the same stuff since the first time tho. I had 3 bundles since tuesday. thanks tho!
 
set and setting comes into play. the first handful of times you tr a drug it is new and exciting. once it becomes the norm it loses some of its magic. maybe try a different ROA, or do it with friends, or just wait a week or so so your tolerance drops.
 
be careful man
sniffing heroin(for the first time) on consecutive days can quickly lead to problems
 
You could go from needing one bag to get high on Monday to needing three by Sunday, so yeah...it's possible.

Your tolerance can go up very rapidly in the beginning and will continue to go up, but it will plateau somewhat at different points. I used a gram a day for a long time and I almost always got high...but in the beginning it will go up quick, especially if you keep using more and more even if you don't really need to...that's also a good way to end up dead! A lot of people die in the first 6 months to a year with heroin.
 
If you snorted a full bag your first time and all you got was a nice rush, those bags are really small, and/or very low purity. Granted, the vicodins give you baseline opiate tolerance to begin with, but my first heroin bag (maybe 100mg), I did four bumps and proceeded to melt into a couch and slip on my ass to the floor over a span of an hour. I did maybe ten or twenty bumps (two or four at a time, always extremely small, like, barely visible on the tip of a key) and wound up nodding heavily in the twilight between sleep and awake, vomiting profusely and eventually falling asleep like a baby. Did less than half the bag.

If you snorted a whole bag and didn't even nod like a motherfucker and struggle to remain awake, that is shitty heroin, or possibly a really small amount (in barrios here they sell 20mg baggies, serious users snort them as if they were a single bump).

But in addition to the quality or quantity of the heroin, tolerance to heroin is infamous for its ability to multiply in short periods of time. My first few days using heroin I found that I would need roughly twice as much heroin to feel as good tomorrow as I do today, when used continuously and recreationally (for the heavy effects rather than to maintain yourself free from withdrawal). So I would do half a bag on day 1, then a whole bag on day 2, then two bags on day 3. At that point I would scale down due to budget, do only a couple bumps to keep from feeling withdrawal on days 4 and 5 (for me, withdrawal sets in after 3 days of usage in a row), then half a bag on day 6, and so on.

Heroin dependence sneaks up on you. Proceed with caution, and take as many breaks from usage as possible. It quickly becomes more than you bargained for.
 
Absolutely IMO, with consecutive/daily/more than daily use, I have gone from having pretty much no tolerance whatsoever to doing half-gram shots of morphine within a week, and getting up to 100mg per shot by day 3. I think it's dependent on a lot of factors, particularly:

A) how long you have been using
B) what opioid and other drugs you are consuming
C) whether your taking more and more every day to compensate
D) Route of administration. In my experience, after getting clean for a LONG time by my standards, shooting dope had me back where I was before or worse, almost always within 5-7 days or less.
 
Imho I think it's one of two things. Varying qualities of heroin, and maybe a bit of tolerance. But since u don't use a lot, it's most likely a quality issue rather than a tolerance issue.
:-)
 
Just chiming in again, as I don't use street heroin and only use pharmaceutical opioids so I know exactly what is tolerance and do not have to factor in the variability of the adulterant/heroin ratio that street heroin users must, so IMO with pharmaceutical opioids its much easier to gauge your tolerance.
 
YES. Esp if you have a binge week where you sleep very little and shoot up every time your high starts wearing off. You'll eventually have to keep upping the dose just to stay awake.

Ive also gone from nodn' on 60mg oxy to being 'nodless' on 240mg oxy within a month.

Although your problem seems like a purity issue.
 
1. Sniffing bags isn't really going to give you a rush, that being said - Sniffing 6 periodically won't give you a rush either, however, doing 6 at once will probably do it for ya giving you a nice rush.
2. Be careful, don't go sniffing 6 bags at once just because you think your tolerance is up there. Especially if its a new batch of dope, this could lead to problems, even death.
3. Quit while you're ahead.
