Heroin

I have lost WAY TOO MUCH to this drug.
It has all the beauty of a mushroom-cloud.
If anyone is struggling with it and needs someone to talk to that is non-judgemental feel free to write me.

I'm so sick of the heroin taboo. I agree it's probably the worst drug you can try but why is morphine good and heroin bad? I used it and now I'm addicted to methadone and I really dont see ANY hope of getting off that.oin is ok for some people who are in physical or emotional pain but even tho I use it, I would never sell it, even to friends. About heroin dealers tho,that's true, they have no morals at all. but everyone here nneeds something to keep them going in life, stop judging people for their choices. Heroin IS a choice, methadone isn't

I agree, if ur using and want to stop, you should definitely talk toa former addictict before ypu choose a detox plan. It's best to get advice from someone or even several people who have been in you're situation beforeyou see a Dr. who hasn't. I've found that tramadol can be very effective, Methadone is good if you tke it for a very short period.

The morphine used in hospitals now is non-addictive. That's a good reason for the difference.

hahah non addictive morphine. Heroin was once legal because they thought it was a non addictive alternative. The only actual difference now is the crap dealers mix in to make a profit, heroin is about as addictive as alcohol, you need to use it daily for a long time, but its easier to use than alcohol

Like ^ said, the main problems with heroin are impurities and poor practices regarding hygiene and needles. If you were disciplined about dosage and had access to an unlimited supply of clean needles and pure heroin, you could probably do it every day till you died of old age. Most addicts actually die of the ancillary consequences of their lifestyle: dirty needles (AIDs, Hep C), overdose (impure/unpredictable dosage), and exposure (homelessness).

Yes. When administered in proper doses by a qualified physician, the morphine used in hospitals today is not addictive.

Just say no and walk away.

Personally, I think burning to death is a whole lot worse than drowning.

The main problems with heroin is that it's heroin.

A ex-girlfriend of mine had a really cool dad. We were both musicians and into punk rock, sadly he died of an OD. I really had some good times with that guy, the few times I spent with him.

I've tried it twice, snorting it both times and I hated it, Thank God!

My soon to be Ex-Wife has had several problems with methadone. That's part of the reason we are getting a divorce.

My cousin is heading back to rehab for heroin. He has spent time in jail for robbery and possession. Been in and out of rehab.

Two friends from high school died, one from an OD the other contracted HIV and later died of AIDS. I've seen another friend of mine get strung out and busted. Last I knew he was on the run. His girlfriend was one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen and the last time I saw her she was disgusting. I have several other friends from high school that had there lives ruined by smack.

It's sad.

Just to be clear I'm not recommending Heroin, I'm just saying that the drug isn't the problem, it's what some people do in order to buy it or what people do to make a profit from selling it. using heroin is never a good idea and it it will make all your problems worse

+1 There are undeniable health risks associated with heroin. You don't have to overdose for it to be bad for you.

Reading comprehension is not a strong suit around here, is it?

The scenario I outlined for 'harmless' heroin usage is unlikely to happen to anyone in the real world outside of members of the Rolling Stones. You guys act like I said it was awesome good times for everybody.

No one is acting like that.
But you're acting like if someone disagrees with you, they must just be incapable of comprehending your point. No. Sometimes people just disagree with you while perfectly understanding what you're saying. This is a fact of life. Your comment about reading comprehension comes across both arrogant and ignorant in this context.

I used to have a problem with it. I've always had an addictive personality but whatever town I was in I would immediately seek it out. It ruined a lot of relationships for me too. Then I met someone who got me on subotex and I've been clean for 3 years now.

It's bad shit

I read Kurt Cobain's biography called Heavier Then Heaven, and after that I was cured of ever wanting to try heroin. It was absolutely depressing as hell to ready just how hard he tried to give it up and how completely impossible it was, and how it eventually killed him. I don't know if it's the worst drug out there, but there is nothing that anyone could offer me to ever make me want to try it.

People just need to remind themselves being experimenting that "curiousity kills the cat."

I feel that by the time you've gotten around to trying and see what it's like, it's probably already too late.

Tried Crack, Shooting up was not something I could do, My Uncle did once when I was around, And it freaked me the Hell out, Now I only drink on occassion. I think everybody has some kind of addiction, some are life ending though:-( My Uncle has many Medical and Mental issues due to his Drug use.
