A brief background of my situation;
I'm fascinated by the affect of substances on the body and mind and I love new and unique experiences. My approach to drugs is that I always look to learn something or experience something in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible. I've tried alcohol, weed, mushrooms, MDMA, LSD, 2c-b, cigarettes, ketamine, amphetamine (in that order) and I haven't had any trouble moderating my use and I never feel an urge to take anything.

I always extensively research any chemical before I try it. As a result I am well aware of the risks associated with heroin. However I am curious to see what it feels like, I have 0.2g of it and would be snorting (I have no intention to use needles) about 10mg and see how I feel.

My question is whether or not trying heroin is worth the risk. I think I'm pretty strong willed but I am well aware that heroin is a different animal and trying it is playing with fire.

Should I try it or throw it away? Or perhaps try a different opiate first? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Why run the risk? What if you like it and want to do it again?
I was on heroin for over a decade and that all started from me being inquisitive and wanting to try heroin and thinking I could handle it.
Many a addict started out by only intending to try it just once but end up with a habit as they enjoy how it makes them feel.
In the interests of harm reduction I would say throw it. Plenty of other drugs to try that are not addictive.
 
It breaks my heart when someone asks if they should try heroin. For starters If you already have a heavy opiate habit , whether it's shooting oxy opana dilaudid or snorting or eating, snorting heroin won't be that much different. After all heroin is an opiate and painkiller. But unfortunately it's illegal and has no medical use.

Your not gonna be surprised when you do It , you may be relieved that a dime gets u higher than over a couple Benjamin's worth of pills! . Tolerance will build so damn quick you eventually run the risk of spending more money on the pills to begin with .

Let's remember , we really don't know if our heroin was cut with fentanyl and accidently too much was out in, and before you know it your funeral will be at the end of the week , best believe dealers are cutting with.horse tranQuilzers , and so many analogues that will kill you. Not saying this is common , bur u run the risk also risk of gojng to jail , perhaps. Losing a soulmate you promised to be clean, having a record, evicted from apartmebt losing all your shit? To answer your question NO DO NOT USE HEROIn, if u wish to be hooked stick with pills , or get on methadone or suboxone and be grateful you don't ever have to worry about withdrawl . But as addicts we tend to use that excuse and exxagerare it to keep using , but when offered a suboxone we say no !???? Hey I wish you the best of spirits Man, feel free to PM me..
 
youre gonna wind up doing it just dont shoot it id say

this post is going to seem out of place with the normal responses but the horror stories dont work either IME

if you even ask, you already know
 
no, don't do it....you will be opening a new doorway that will change your whole outlook on things, and sometime down the line you will look back and wish you hadn't. don't try any opiates, I've never done h but I often look at little kids and wish I could still feel that good naturally, then I regret certain things
 
Thanks for the advice everyone.

There is a great megathread about this in "Other Drugs." It's at the top, I suggest you read it.

After reading this thread I've decided it's not worth it, I'm never going to try it (the only exception being if I am terminally ill, bed-ridden and about to die). I've just flushed it down the toilet.

Thanks again.
 
You know what bud take it from me, i was able to control most of those drugs that you listed too, I was super hero. I could smoke 1 pack of cigs and never touch them again, which is still true to this day. I did alot of MDMA but I was able to stop no problem, over 5 years clan of mdma with no urge at all to use it, BUT then i stumbled along opiates, and silly me, here we go thinking ok im gonna just not take any for my surgery pain and just take 2-3 norcos at night to feel high, did that for a few months, it was fun never had wd's I felt like I could stop anytime, but why? the feeling is so amazing, So after the surgery was all over and the pain stop, I told myself ah hell why not a few more weeks? a few more weeks turned into 1 year of using any opiate I could get my hands on. I got up to a tolerance of almost 1,000 mh of hydrocodone per dose, I wouldnt even start to talk about how much money I spent, I got really screwed when I learned to CWE, that then enabled me to take 10, then 15, then 20, 30 40 50 60 80 then capped off at about 108 norcos all once as my highest dose, and Sir, I am not paying the pieper... im 4 days clean going thru HELL withdrawls, it seemed so innocent at the time, taking precscribed drugs, (WHICH NO WHERE GIVES YOU THE EUPHORIA OF HEROIN) Honestly brother, I wish I had someone there to tell me better, but my family and gf had no clue.. it was so innocent to them too that i was taking these cuz of pain.

I am now a addicted in blown blown addiction and trying to recover from it and ill be honest with my self im already planning a relapse very soon as soon as all these symptoms die out.. as sad as that sounds its true and im just letting you know what you are getting your self into. put that shit in the toilet flush it, turn the other cheek and run as far as possible from any influence of any opiates. please..



EDIT- Just took the time to read and saw you decided not to, please keep away forever bud! good on you man! cheers
 
My simple reply to your question infinity will be short and simple...

NO! Don't try it.

It's great, it's amazing. In fact, it's the best feeling in the world. Therein lies the problem.

Sure, maybe you'd be fine and control it. Then again you might find yourself in that old downward spiral working your way right to the bottom - which is a shitty as place to be.

As much as the devil in me would love to tell you to go ahead and try it, because it is amazing the human with a soul in me says don't risk losing it all for!

Good call. Stick with what you know.

I wasn't ever going to try it. But BL scared the last bit of lingering curiosity right out of me. Esp all the in-depth withdrawal stories. Had no clue about that till I came here.
 
I'm so happy you took my advice!! So many of us on here have been through that shit, I'm guessing were a little older, & there's so many new members that If something I told you to do made you NOT try it, you seriously made my day!!???

Ain't that the truth Jeng? If just one word we said got through to someone and stopped them from going down that road then we can go to bed tonight knowing we've done a little something good. I think you're spot on when you made the comment about suspecting that most of us who've taken that path are a little older. Been there, done that, got the damn t-shirt unfortunately.

It only I had heeded advice like that back when I entered that lonesome valley maybe life would be a lot different today. Maybe, but I'm here now and can't change that. At least that experience allowed me the liberty of telling someone they don't want to go there! How funny life is...
 
As an opiate addict of 9 years, flush that crap. I refuse to try heroin, I know it would take me. I was addicted to iv dilaudid that has such a euphoric feeling, probably similar to heroin. I can't say for sure cause I haven't tried the H :) to this day I drool just thinking about those shots at the hospital. I wish I had stumbled upon some of these replies before opiate addiction took over!
Flush it my friend & never think twice about trying it. Everyone started with "just this once, it won't take hold of me!"

I'm with you all the way. I haven't had time to post my personal story on that megathread because it's so Damn long & honestly it's still a work in progress. Am I perfect? Far from it. But I've come a hell of a long way since I was 22. Idk if these people don't realize that it's so fucking easy to become a junkie. And I hate that word but it's the truth. I'm going through some shit with my good friend. The whole getting kicked off methadone because of benzos so she Tried to switch to subs but they're not working so she's got a 2 b /day habit. She called me last night & said I Tried iving (girl has never used a needle in her life & is 30 with 2 kids(custody of 1) but she's quitting today. Good luck with that. But I try to motivate instead of saying what I really think which is you say this high, I would bet 99% she'll do it today. But I choose to motivate her instead of saying Yah right. Maybe she'll be that 1%. God I wish someone was there to tell me to never try it.
 
^ wow.. all I can do is shake my head. "I''ve never used a needle before and its one of the most addictive aspects of drug use known to man, but dont worry, I'm quitting today. I couldn't do it before, but trust me, now that I've experienced a heroin rush, I can put it all down and quit"

Your not doing your doing your friend any favors by telling them it will all be OK after that.

Well it's kind of a long story but it's not that simple. She has never got the "rush" because she's been taking subs in between. Its an extremely long story but I'm smart enough to know, once you use the needle and get that rush that's it you're hooked. She's not a newbie or novice. Anything I say won't make a difference, because she's going to do what she wants anyways. I've been through it, you deny, justify, rationalize to do what you want. I've tried to give her advice(I went through it in Other Drugs, Suboxone Mega thread.) Asking all my fellow BL's, taking ALOT of time out of my day and theirs. And what did she do, what she wanted. So it was pointless, just like I know anything I say now is pointless. So I'll listen to her, because she is my friend but she's going to do whatever the hell she wants. Makes no difference, I've tried, numerous times. I guess she'll have to learn the hard way, like me, which sucks but I did the exact same thing. Asking advice but taking my own anyway.
 
My post did come off kind of rude. I really do understand what your saying. It's just sad to see someone with children who's trying to quit choose to take that path.
 
It's sad how I see active IV heroin addict friends of mine that been shooting a decade and everyday there day mission is "going to the city and getting a bundle / gram, getting a ride. Throwing in halves" then the next day they throw all they're needles out and quit , a week later quitting is out the window. Then you have the heroin addict who quits and gets there life back every 6 months just to lose it all , or the yearly relapser ...heroin really put a hold on me from 2004-2008, it took state prison for 4 yrs to get over it because I was forced to quit and only did it a few times in prison., so thanks to that I lost the obsession , however I'm a opiate dependent lifer.. On methadone now.,,if there isn't Heroin
No worries there is dozens of other opiates to grab a hold..even though I lost the mental obsession I couldn't go without it physically..if I don't make sense I'm sorry, most of my addiction and life never made sense
