If I can't rant here, please feel free to move it.
I've been a drug addict for well over 20 years. I've done just about everything.
12 of those years were spent on pain pills only, with about another 5 years with heroin use on & off. I did other shit too off & on obviously & am a stoner, so cannabis is pretty much required for any of my other drug experiences.
Through out my own experience & research, I have discovered that society has been conditioned to believe flat out lies regarding heroin/opioid use.
When I used heroin & opioids, they made me more physically active, controlled my depression, my pain & made me more responsible.
I try to make it my duty to speak openly across the internet about my experience & how I think it's wrong that heroin is illegal. (When I say heroin, I mean specifically diacetylmorphine only). I never even once overdosed in all those years, but I think part of that comes down to my dealer. He made sure to only give me rocks, never any cuts. I also hated the way benzos & alcohols muddied up my opioid effects, so I rarely mixed it with those because when I had H/pain pills, then what the hell did I need benzos or alcohol for? I didn't.
I am constantly running into people pushing things like "heroin is more dangerous than alcohol".
I even had one person today tell me that "heroin effects your judgement making skills more than alcohol".
I told them that's false & then asked them to describe to me how mu-receptor activation would even cause the same judgement ruining effects as alcohol & of course they couldn't. Because it can't. Other than the general sedation or drowsiness from opioids, they do not impact your judgement making skills the same way alcohol does.
I use to go on long walks on heroin, work harder at my job, exercise, create things, etc... & enjoyed every moment of it. Doing those things today is now a tedious task that pains me. Alcohol on the other hand landed me plenty of assault charges, car accidents, suicide attempts & nights in jail. Now THAT is serious judgement making impairment.
I also had one person say to me "you're a heroin addict & giving out advice??? gtfo".
Seriously???????? If I needed advice about drugs, the first person I'm gonna go to about it is a veteran junkie that knows their shit.
This person went on to say they "work with addicts everyday" & so some how my experience is false & invalid.
I live in pain with chronic fatigue & just barely function every day. Ever since my heroin dealer went to prison, I moved & lost my pain pill connect, I just haven't been the same person.
And it boils my blood knowing there is an effective medicine out there for it, but I can't have it because it's "illegal" and full of stigma and bullshit lies that people believe every day.
I'm at my wits end with the medical system, with ignorant people, etc....
My new therapist last week flat out told me I should just accept living in pain the rest of my life. Pushing that mindfullness crap (a whole other topic I don't wanna get into here).
What are some ways we could this topic going further? Especially in the US? I think legal, clean, prescription heroin could help so many people who are addicted/dependent on opioids & who WANT to use them to make their lives better. I just don't know where to start, who to contact or what to do to get this heard. I thought being vocal online was enough but people will defend their misinformation about heroin TO THE DEATH.
Unfortunately. NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND OR EVEN CARE.
At this point, if society collapses, it's deserved. Just like how I some how "deserve" to live in pain the rest of my life because other people for some reason get to dictate what goes in my body. I'm so tired of it.
My quality of life is over thanks to arbitrary drug laws. What else is left in my life then, except to dedicate it to some cause that I feel passionate about?
How do we get through to these people who push their misinformation as universal fact?
I would like to see some kind of change in my lifetime. Heroin is no more dangerous than drinking in fact I'd consider it LESS dangerous, considering heroin doesn't cause any major brain or organ damage. Plus a person with no tolerance is most likely to pass out & fall asleep long before doing too much heroin. Heroin is not meant to be used like alcohol anyway. And the fact that some people will be irresponsible with it shouldn't make it so that the rest of us can't use it. Fentanyl is obviously a different story & wouldn't be a problem today if heroin was never made illegal.
It's absolute HYPOCRISY that should have ended YESTERDAY.
In fact, I dare say it's a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY to tell people they cannot use opioids & punish them if they do.
Anyone else feel this way? I know I can't be the only one.
Imagine something in your life, something you use or need every day to get through your day. Anything. Then imagine society saying "well, that's bad, so we want you to not use it anymore or we'll take away your freedom". That is exactly how prohibiion is for people like myself.
And ironically, no matter how in depth I go with this topic to some people, they will still defend alcohol & continue to spout falsehoods about opioids/heroin. It completely blows my mind.
PS : There use to be a haven of old information on google about how opioids were once legal, used for psychiatric reasons (with good results), tests that showed it was actually difficult for some one with a tolerance to just up & OD out of nowhere, etc.... I've watched all of this important information get totally SCRUBBED from the google search results & replaced with "opioids are dangerous" propaganda.
If people don't start standing up, then how much more control of our minds & bodies are we planning to give away? How many more people have to die from fentanyl or have their lives ruined forever? Why am I the only person who seems to be this passionate about it? I thought heroin was a deadly, life-destroying drug... yet my experience was the EXACT OPPOSITE. Even if you don't use or like heroin, the ignorance, stigma & laws surrounding could become the same reality for many things you DO like or need to use.
