y 1) 21, Male, Phoenix, Arizona
2) opiate history: used pills like hydro and oxy until i was 18. then i was hooked on black tar heroin. i was smoking it at first. it was better than snorting, by far. now i hadn't shot up yet. i continued to smoke as my main ROA for 3 years, daily use mostly. If i wasnt using it wouldnt last, and it wouldnt last long. i couldnt seem to shake heroin off my back. for 3 years it had me. all i wanted was heroin. that was my only goal, all i ever needed or did. get and use heroin. stay high as a kite, constantly nodding out. i wasted 3 years of my life, nodding out. now there were many good times, like everyday, but this was the fast road to nowhere. to jails, institutions and death.
Now I am 21, and my Route of Administration is IV. I have been IVing for 2 years, once in a while, so i wouldnt fuck up my veins. I had heard from people on here, that Black Tar Heroin is so awful for your veins. and its the worst, blah blah blah. But really, it has been good on my veins. I have only missed one shot out of hundreds, and still that vein is huge and bulging. as are all of my veins. so in my case, black tar heroin is not bad. it has been good to my veins, as they are huge and bulging, still...
back on topic. so i am on Methadone Maintenance Therapy. I have been on it for two months, since May 22 of 2012. it has been a complete success, as I have saved $1,000 so far, and have only used twice.
3) frequency of use: for three years, i was a daily user. every single day i was nodding out, or sick. now i am on methadone, a daily dose of 120 mgs. i have used dope 2 times since may 22. i am going to keep it out of my life. life is hard enough without heroin addiction. forget about it...
4) why do i use?: theres got to be more than one reason that i use. to start, its one of the most amazing feelings i have felt. all you out there know what i mean, when i say "theres nothing quite like IV heroin". its impossible to adequately describe the experience of IV heroin.
another reason i used is depression. a girl broke up with me, and i started using again, and it took me a dcouple years to stop. heroin is really good at killing pain, physical and emotional.
5)what kind of scene are you in: I use by myself now. I used to use with a circle of friends, 4 people or so.. but they died or went to jail. im the only one left. well theres another one like me, who hasnt died or been thrown in jail. its sad, seeing your friends drop one by one, dieing and being tossed in prison. all the ones i liked died, the sleazy skeezers are always the ones who make it. the good die young..RIP homies
6) Route of Administration: currently my ROA is IV.
however, i used to smoke as my ROA. i would smoke it off of foil . that would get me high as a kite. the highest i had ever been in my life, was off the foil. so it works very well, almost as good as IV. But now my tolerance is so high from methadodne, that i dont use anymore, and if i do, i have to IV, as smoking does not effect me anymore. theres nothing quite like a big fat shot of heroin, nodding out for hours, all afternoon until you go to sleep.......
