1. Whats your age and your geographical location?

2. What is your experience with opiates, which ones do you use?
Tried Vicodin once when I was 16, and naive about opiate tolerance, I took too high of a dose for my first time using opiates. It was way too intense and I was having double vision, couldn't walk right, and had severe nausea. I decided I hated opiates after that and didn't touch them again until 3 1/2 years ago, about 7 years after the first experience, when I was prescribed them for a wisdom tooth surgery. This time, taking a normal dose, I decided I liked them a little TOO much and proceeded to develop a Vicodin and Norco addiction. Went on Suboxone about 6 months later, which I maintained on for the next 2 years. I had to buy them off the street one day, and the person I went through happened to have them for heroin addiction. He was active in his addiction at the time, and I was around him often while he would shoot up, but kept taking my Subs and had no interest in it. That is until the day I quit Subs, was suffering withdrawal, and he happened to offer me a shot... saying it would take away my sickness. Well a couple times a month quickly turned into every day use, and heroin has been my DOC for the past year or so now.
3. How often do you use opiates?
Every day
4. Why do you use opiates?
Because quitting seems downright fucking impossible sometimes.
5. What kind of drug scene are you in?
The underbelly of society kind where I surround myself with "friends" who have all jacked me at least once and who's entire lives/days revolve around using or getting more heroin. The kind where rehab, detox, and jail are familiar territory. Pretty much, the shitty kind of drug scene that your parents warned you about when you were a kid.
6. Also, what kind of administration do you use?
Oral with pills, IV with heroin...
