So I tried out heroin

It was black tar heroin, about 10 bucks worth and I used the "Chasing the dragon" method. I inhaled the fumes casually throughout the day, robbed Starbucks for a bit, alienated friends by swearing at pink spiders, watched myself in a mirror for 2 hours and ran through a crowded house naked under its effects.

What you will find out really happened tomorrow.
 
With his stellar decision making skills on display here, I just can't imagine how the OP would find himself mired in depression. So weird!

Wow, I heard LSD wasn't addictive at all. I'm feeling less like trying it now.:lol

But yeah, heroin seems like the worst drug you can start taking. I'm staying the hell away from it. Maybe if I had like a week to live or something I'd start doing it.

It's not very addictive if it ranks below weed (which ranks below caffeine). That chart displays "mean harm to body" or something like that, not just addiction levels. The other graph that was linked to earlier is more informative. That being said, I haven't tried LSD yet.
 
Humans make me so sad and angry sometimes. 25 years I watched my mother use of drugs from "light" to "heavy" destroy the relationship between us siblings, the family and her self until she had no where to go but the streets. I cant even hear a woman raise her voice without my heart going crazy for hours into a panic attack.
If you have to escape this world, game, movie, do a crazy 20 min out workout, dance, indulge in food, anything but letting foreign material control your life in anyway.

But I always advocate trying everything once - if you're not going to make a habit out of heroin, then that's fine.

Heroin isn't going to make you an addict after one or two times. You have to know your strengths personally to know whether or not you have the ability to say "no" if it comes around again.

I feel that's a careless philosophy to be advocating. Heroin is much, much different than something like weed. You don't intentionally "make a habit" out of it. For most people addiction is stronger than them, and "one or two times" is plenty.

Sure some are lucky and don't get addicted (good for you), but there's no way of knowing that beforehand, no matter how strong your willpower is. I had a friend in college with enough determination to make it into medical school, only to get hooked on heroin after trying it a couple of times. Now he has tens of thousands in student loans he'll never be able to pay off, because he's working under the table manual labor, living with his parents again and spending it all on heroin. I'm sure he thought he was strong enough to just try it a couple of times.

Before I had started having anxiety issues again I worked in a metro ER and saw several kids younger than I am whose bodies just couldn't handle heroin. In college I felt the subject was exaggerated, but the first time I saw a 17 year old declared dead because a "friend" talked her into trying it, that changed. She never had the chance to turn it down the second time around.

It's a mighty gamble no matter how you look at it. The only safe bet is to never touch it.

Sorry to hear that, I had no intentions of using heroine as a way to cure my depression it just happened to help me out, now I'm sitting here enjoying a nice steak and reading the latest news without thinking about the drug. Honestly people, it's really how you as a person decide to take on an experience. I'm not some strung out waiting for my next fix, in fact I'm starting to have a strong urge to stop smoking tobacco, drinking, or eating unhealthy foods (Only thing that still sparks my interest is acid which I find to be the best drug). Most of my diet consist of fruits, nuts, vegetables and meats, I exercise and still care about myself and those around me.

I posted this to have a discussion about the drug, how one perceives the influence of it and how not everything will turn someone into a strung out addict; Not for attention from a bunch of other dudes on a message board.
 
This thread has made me want to:

a) Finish watching the diaries of a heroin addict but I don't want to get depressed.
b) Watch Trainspotting.
c) Never do Heroin.
 
I can see myself doing heroin when I'm retired and old. I could just live out my twilight years in bliss.

Holy shit. The last video. The ending was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. :'(

Yeah they're really tough to watch. So many people underestimate addiction. :(

by not thinking about the drug, do you mean starting a thread about it?

:lol but, by posting this, it's obvious that you ARE thinking about the drug.
 
depression doesn't magically go away. marijuana gave me better perspective. but... 1 week down the road... hello depression.

you'll want heroin again eventually. and if you give in....you're going to wind up shooting this shit into your balls.

i guarantee this girl wouldn't want tot lak to you again if she knew you needed heroin to talk to her.

Amir0x is a good person to listen to. but for someone who is suffering depression, your an idiot for trying it even once right now.

I don't follow.

I know it doesn't go away, and I'm going to have to work at the things that are bothering me in life, the drug wasn't the sole thing that made me outlook change, it was a combination of many things that happened to me yesterday. I could have either just done the drug and passed out in my room listening to depressing music or go out, hang out with people and have a good time while I was under the influence. Now that I've done it I have no really desire to push myself any farther, I still have my sanity, I still feel in control of myself, and I know that if I want to continue going on I won't fall into that pitfall. Once again, just because I tried it once doesn't mean I'm going to go off and become an addict. I have no more and I won't be getting anymore.

Keep staying judgmental and classy gaf.
 
cut the op some slack its his life

what about the people addicted to unhealthy fatty foods i see getting all the support

The effects weren't that bad at all just felt like being super high on bud and it actually lifted me from a 2 month depression. It got me to enjoy the time with my friends, helped me put my life in perspective and even got me to talk to a pretty girl which I got to set up a date with.

I'm not advocating that others try the drug nor do I plan on using it anytime soon because of its highly addicting nature, but I got to say it wasn't bad at all and I was able to function throughout the day without any difficulties... Kind of goes to show that under the right mindset any drug can be done (Outside of say PCP, crack, meth, injecting the stuff, and anything along those lines).

It would be funny if the OP posted some other thread like "So... I took Heroin again" :lol
BUt yeah, I want to try out some stuff too... Heroin., never though

What do you care? I hope he does it again and dies from it. One less stupid person in the world.
So what I do to my own body somehow makes a stupid person who deserves to, even though I've never once done any serious harm to others? Wow, great reasoning.

Or you know, you could of hung out with your friends and not listen to emo music without doing heroin.

Damn straight I am being judgmental.
 
Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
I go the place where danger awaits me
and it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it
oh ya, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it,
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Self destruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded
Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it
Well I know I'm hooked my friend
To the boy who makes slaves out of men.
And oh believe me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high

Yep. When it's something that has destroyed countless lives and has turned successful people into homeless animals who have lost everything and then you still decide to do it. What's the next thread? "Hey GAF so I shot myself in the head last night"? Just because you are "depressed". Well whatever you deserve whatever is coming to you.

Heroin is one of the worst drugs when it comes to harming other people besides the user. You stay the fuck away from it.
 
Wonderful, all these negative comments are actually making me feel better about myself because I realize that I'm not a bitter asshole who finds a need to insult others for the decisions they make. Good night y'all, I'll let you know about my terrible withdrawal periods and downward spiral into the depth of my own personal hell (And eventual suicide by shotgun blast to the head). Now time to go cuddle up with my poodle.
 
jesus amirox, why the hell do you advocate "doing everything at least once"? I mean, there is a difference between doing all that stuff yourself and actually recommending others try a hard drug. "You live only once" blah blah, yeah, but if you look at people who have never done any drug as opposed to people that have tried every drug, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to guess which group is more successful in life

Don't get me wrong, I smoke weed and occasionally drink, so I understand why people enjoy getting high, but its just in no way worth it if its going to fucking kill you or get you addicted. Even "responsible" use of crack or heroin or meth is incredibly irresponsible, for the simple fact that you are doing that shit in the first place

Hey, I never implied that! I implied you would be stripping copper plumbing from vacant houses in Baltimore!

You don't deserve to die. I'm glad you didn't have a serious reaction, and I hope you can fight further urges to use.

It was a stupid decision though, especially if you have prior knowledge about the effects of heroin use/addiction and choose to use anyway. If not then consider yourself lucky, educate yourself and stay the hell away from it.

You can't lump it together with weed and others when talking about drug use. Heroin is in a class of it's own as far as it's life-destroying potential, and any happiness you'll get from it is ephemeral.
 
Taking heroin when you have ecstasy available is like deciding to eat cold McDonalds leftovers when you could be having a gourmet meal at the Ivy.

Attention whore confirmed.
 
heroin withdrawl can physically kill you?! i dont think thats true. its basically the same as popping morphine tablets which if presented to them in painkiller form most people would assume was totally safe.

the real destructive side of it is if its cut with nasty shit, the injecting, and getting addicted.
 
Don't listen to these guys, Heroine isn't addictive at all.

In fact, you could probably do it everyday for 1 month, ya know just while you work through your depression, and then quit it with no problem.

Trust me... :O
 
Imo that is an idiotic move. That's the one drug I'm never going to even try. One of the most addictive one's out there. The biggest destroyer of lives.
 
Hellcrow said:
I've always wondered, how is alcohol addictive?

After a miscalculated saturday night, I usually don't touch it after a week or two.


Next time try to drink the next day and be amazed how the withdrawal symptoms you are suffering seem to go away. That's how it is addicitive.

Withdrawal can kill you if you aren't prepared for it, its like the flu. You need to replenish your fluids, and make sure to eat (even if you don't keep it down). If you don't have a support system, or your physical body has been getting its ass kicked from a healthy heroin addiction, I can easily see how it could kill you.

I don't want anyone to be depressed...but an isolated incident doesn't really go to show anything. Be careful.

Amirox's dependence on drugs make him do home invasions with friends a few years ago. Look it up, its in his post history. Do you really want to listen to this guy?
 
This is one of those times where I must call Amir0x a fucking idiot. ;)

Heroin is as hard as they come. Stay away from it.
