Ok well I put up a thread a week or so ago and I finally decided to try the H today. Each "stamp" weighs about 30-45mg of white powder. I started off my dose about 5-6 hours ago by splitting one stamp in to two lines and snorting about half of one of those lines (1/4th of the stamp) just to get a feel for it and make sure I didn't get ripped off. I got a nice buzz nothing to crazy though. Then about 2 hours after that (3-4 hours ago) I snorted the entire other half line and got a much nicer buzz and felt I was almost where I wanted to be and started getting really tired/relaxed/trippy. Now I want to push just past the half stamp I did 3 hours ago. Would it be safe for me to open up a new stamp and snort half of it? (15-20mg) I'm not sure of the half life of heroin and today was the first time I tried it I still have 2 stamps left and would like to reach a really nice high one more time before I go to bed then I won't get in to the stamps for at least 3-4 more days as a precaution to give me a better chance of not getting dependent/addicted.

Anyway the question I need answered is this, I have no opiate tolerance at all, so far today I've snorted about 35-40mg (one stamp) of white heroin over the passed 6 hours but I didn't feel like I quite reached the point I wanted to. Will I overdose if I do another half of a stamp? Will the half I do this time add to the last stamp and fuck my shit up? Thanks for any help. Like I said I'm not planning on trying any more for the next few days so I just want to get a really nice buzz going before I go to bed so help me out quick.

Thanks,

i think ur safe, ur tolerance is buidling rapidly as you put each line in ur nose, u will see..within 3 days you will be doing 5x u first started out with be careful...if u repeated that same process the next day, you would notice that u already developed tolerance and wouldnt get off like the 1st day
 
Thank you, I'm smoking a bowl right now then I will snort the half stamp. I think that I will be ok, I just didn't want the stamp that was in me already to add to the half one I'm about to snort and kill me.And I will be careful I've been searching the internet for hours trying to get insufflation re dosing for people with no tolerance but I can't find any. And I don't think I will have an opportunity to purchase more for at least a few weeks after these stamps are done (not really any heroin in my community as far as I know this was an occasion that doesn't come around often) so I hope I don't get addicted from these 3 stamps or I'm going to just have to suffer haha.
 
OVERDOSING ON HEROIN WHEN ONLY SNORTING IT IS NOT COMMON(unless ur snorting line after line after line etc.., it's when you shoot heroin u stand dangers of immediate overdose
 
That's what I thought but I wasn't sure because I have no tolerance. But thanks for reassuring me. How long do you usually wait before re dosing? I've heard people say 15 minutes, I've heard 4-6 hours, and I've had people tell me you can re dose as soon as you start coming down from the high. Again thanks for the help I haven't been able to get any straight answers about it lol
 
they say when you snort heroin, its a longer high vs shooting it (doesnt last as long when shooting it) but i tend to disagree, but thats irrelevant...redose when you feel like the heavy warmth opiate buzz is going away (ur an addict right? u know when the drug is wearing off right? i would say 2-3 hours of duration snorting heroin will provide considering ur tolerance to it and sensitivity...me personally..when i was snorting heroin, i was high for like 40mins,and ran through 10 bags fairly quick, that why i resorted to shooting it, because i didnt have to use as much heroin to get high, the high by shooting lasted SEVERAL HOURS LONGER then snorting, and the high was like a total complete different feeling than sniffing, like 100% better. im not condoning IVing it, im telling u my story, on average, i was busting out another line to sniff every 1-2 hours....or i would redose when it just wore off..depending if it was more then 1-2 hours...i had good dope i sniffed where i was high and nauseous all day..it all depends, quality..and if its cut with certain tranquailizers dealers use that are similiar acting to opiates that provide a high making u think its heroin when its some opioid analogue or some shit...once in awhile in my area this dope came around, it was always dark and real thick powder, and i was high 12hrs on it, and nauseous the next day, i thought WOW GOOD DOPE!, turns out it was some tranquilizer that is opiate similiar to or related to/cut with heroin..REMEMBER: heroin is a SHORT ACTING opiate, so dont expect to be high more then 4 hours...
 
You're doing it properly. It's called titrating, and it's a hell of a lot safer to work up to the high in small increments than just trying to judge it off the bat. But in terms of redosing, opiates dosages are added together evenly, not multiplied exponentially . So spreading out the dose is safe with heroin, whereas many psychedelics and empathogens wont work properly when spread like that, and many RC stimulants will increase exponentially in side effects and durations when dose is spread like that.
 
you can still OD from snorting it especially with no opiate tolerance.

You can either do small bumps and play it safe on your way to an enjoyable high

or

do two bags at once and be real fucked up

hard to tell what your quality of shit is, if one bag has you decent though try doing 1 1/2 or 3/4 at once and see how that works out

actually forget I said any of that just do small bumps
 
crashing has the right idea, re : titrating nice n easy.

sorru dude but thats total misinformation. youve less chance of ODing from smoking than other routes.

as nasal absorption takes a while to reach peak effects, the high lasting longer than IV, many people get caught out redosing too soon with too much. theyre usually under the impression the dope is weak n shitty then BAM fitst line hits and soon after the next dose/s accumulate hitting and catching the user by surprise - sometimes ending fatal if they dont wake up, arent revived or dont get a narcan shot that brings them back around.

just be careful with such general statements when it comes to these particular substances that do cause fatal overdoses.

not havin a dig at you man, just wanted to point that out as the OP is new to heroin and assuming opioids altogether.
 
im from the east coast bro, we have powder heroin, we dont smoke it, we either shoot it or snort it..and i was only specifically talking about the overdose risks from snorting VS IVing....when snorting heroin it actually kicks in rather fast in my opinion anyway, within 2minutes...ok well i suppose if people are dying from snorting oxycontins, then people are dying from snorting heroin..its just that majority of heroin is so complete run down trash and cut, unless your buying it by weight...
 
You can OD from any ROA, just to clear that up. Of course, some ROAs come with more of a chance for overdose than others.

I've seen many OD's from snorting H. It's very possible.

Also, while the chances of one more half a bag causing you to OD are probably pretty slim, don't underestimate how strong of an effect it can have on you. Sometimes it can be a very small amount of H between the line of being fine and totally fucked up. Dose cautiously.
