I wouldn't touch the stuff under normal circumstances, but I figure if I had irrefutable proof that I had only an hour or two to live, I think I'd intentionally overdose on it. Just to kind of go out with a bang instead of by injury or disease.

My friends had a band called "The Mainliners" when they were in high school. One of them and his buddy were addicted. Most of the kids in that heroin circle got clean, didn't get consumed by their addiction. Never been too interested in trying heroin, has a bad reputation.

The junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to the product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.

- William Burroughs

RENTON: People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shite, which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid. Take the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere near it. When you're on junk you have only one worry: scoring. When you're off it you are suddenly obliged to worry about all sorts of other shite. Got no money: can't get pished. Got money: drinking too much. Can't get a bird: no chance of a ride. Got a bird: too much hassle. You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never fucking wins, about human relationships and all the things that really don't matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit.

It seems that it appeals to a particular kind of weakness in some people.

some vulnerablity they were born with.

Yup. An uncle of mine was a heroine addict. It's some scary shit watching some of those withdrawls at the age of thirteen. I am almost glad I did. I know for sure I willnever touch the shit

Yeah, I agree....drugs can be fun until you're shooting up...that's when it's a committment, and not necessarily a good one.

I was speaking of what seems to attract people to a drug not what happens after they have tried it.

i knew people who ODed (died)
and then there was Kevin who got rolled for stealing
heroin's quite the destroyer. i tend to lump speed in the same group. it might not kill you but it will ruin your life pretty quickly. i get very unconfortable when they are in the room with me.

The only girl I ever fell head over heels for is so far gone now that I can't even talk to her. It made me appreciate having my own shit togther more than it made me pissed it happened to her. Its a bad choice to start doing that shit, it just would have been nice to learn that some other way.

I've known a couple people who OD'ed and died, had two really good friends basically turn into zombies for a few years because of their multiple addictions (including a healthy dose of smack, of course), some friends who dropped out of school because their additiction was too distracting, and currently have one friend who is 'experimenting'. I have noticed that, invariably, as someone starts getting deeper into it, my friendship with them becomes less and less of a priority. Maybe it's because I"m a shitty friend, but I tend to think it's because heroin takes up all of their time and emotional commitments.

I tried crack once, fiended for a month, and never smoked it again. Aren't there some people who can try heroin to satisfy their curiosity, deal with any cravings they may have and move on to new discoveries? This is rhetorical, because I know there are - I've heard stories from and about such people. But it's also a real question. What do you think?

I actually did that 18 years ago. Just dabbled in it, never got addicted. put it down and moved on, didn't touch it for 17 years. I know a few other people who did that. My addiction progressed in the 17 years since. Plus being addicted to pain pills made it and easy transition to heroin.

thora - i know someone who did it for a little while while he was in the navy.. then it got so he realized he wanted it BEFORE his cigarette in the morning, and knew he was becoming addicted. so he flushed it down the toilet, while out at sea, and never did it again.

i've tried quite a number of drugs, and heroin isn't one of them. i'm not interested in it. my personality is too addictive. and shooting things up is just going a little too far, for me.

One of my friends had started shooting heroin again after having quite a bit of time clean. Christmas Eve he said he had some shit to do and he would be back later. The day after Christmas we got a phone call saying they found him dead in a warehouse someplace in the city. Time of death confirmed he died Christmas day.

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don’t care anymore
About all the jim-jim’s in this town
And all the politicians makin’ crazy sounds
And everybody puttin’ everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

Lost 2 friends...one OD'd, one from an abcess by a dirty needle.

No preaching from me. People need to make their own decisions in life. But I hope anyone who is tempted to try it remembers that bad things don't just happen to 'others.' There are no 'others.' Only us.

I spent a summer in NYC snorting heroin every day, went back home in September, stopping cold turkey. I felt like crap for a couple days, but I'm not very addictable, I guess.

My last words to them were, "You guys be careful with this shit, it'll get you!" A month later everyone in the house was strung like xmas lights on Mrs. Bellatore's house. One of them OD'ed and died a year later, another turned from one of the greatest beauties I ever knew into an emaciated hag and the third had been in and out of rehab for years now.

Stay the fuck away from that shit. It's not glamorous, nor chic, nor will it make you a better songwriter, artist, poet or anything. It will just make your life hell.

I know too many people that have been torn up by that shit, and living two blocks away from a detox center I see too many people affected.....
Like Thora I tried crack once, I knew that my next step was herion, the only thing I hadnt tried yet, so I havent touched anything since that point, no drugs no alcohol in over a year and a half. My dad was a junkie and has been clean for 13 years, I promised myself I wouldnt go there, and I was knockin at the door.....
no bueno
