drugs ive done: ketamine, coke, ecstacy, whizz
what do ppl find soaddictive about heroin? is it that you like the high, the feelin, or is it that once you come down your body cant cope without it, and you cant function right?
( id never take heroin, its the one drug i can say no to, and its ruined enough lives already, its not taking mine)
I did 30.00 of black tar heroin once, doing 3/4 of it to start, then finishing it up. I puked, and I clearly remember thinking if we get stopped I am going to fall out of this car laughing. My usual paranoia was defineately lessened. After five or six hours, I went to sleep, without eating because it took away my appetite. The next day I told my two friends thatmy body was slightly sore and achey. We all thought it was probably from the heroin.People talk of being addicted from the first time, of being in terrible pain- that fortuneately did not happen to me. "Mildly uncomfortable" easily describes how my body felt, as if I had exercised and felt sore. I had no desire to feel the high again right away, either. (The only reason I bought H in the first place is because the guy didn't have any speed, and I wanted somthing rather than nothing, plus, I've always been curious.
So, in short, shooting heroin was a pretty mundane experience. Not like speed, which gives life and energy- heroin is more a respite from life. It defineately doesn't inspire you to get anything done.
Would I do it again? Maybe if I ran into my old friend and he offered a bump, but I wouldn't buy it for personal use again- why should I when I like to get up, not down?In short, the high ain't great enough for me to fall victim.
A heroin addict once explained to me, that after the first use many users feel it's so good, that they absolutely want to do it again. This thought is the beginning of mental addiction. Physical addiction comes later. Search trough this forum as I remember a very good post of a member, which desrcibed how she got addicted on heroin.
I ahve done X and G, but I still question what the big deal is about coke, I had an oppertunity to try it once but my friend told me don't... it would be the worst thing I could do. Is it that addictive? My wife ahs triewd it before me and she tells me it has the same feeling as X but some guys get abusive, is this true?
I personally don't think coke is that addictive ( not that it wont happen with constant use) but for alot of people including my self it is to expensive to become physically addicted. I've doen it about 20 times, within a month or two and since then its been about 2-3 months and i have no "urges" to do it again, to expensive, the high is fun but not fun enough for the price.

Well, My ex boyfriend of four years started using herion after we broke up and he and I still talk. I asked him why he is so addicted and he said he can't cope with out it.
i was doing heroin for 2 month... the thing about heroin is at first i was just ahving fun.. then i needed heroin not to feel the pain i got from it.. but now im on methadone and i do coke... i shoot it and its very f**king addictive..snorting is nothing compared to it
Shooting will take you there, leaving you pondering on how to get away from there. Did you know for one slam of dope to fully penetrate your system it takes 30-90 minutes? So after that rush, the legs come bouncing in.
Dope is the greatest high on earth. You can't imagine the complete pleasure a hit into the vein can produce. First time I shot up this really cute girl did it for me. It was almost sexual, better than any orgasm I've ever had.

For me, Heroin was an escape. (just like any other opiates.) I was young, and it helped me filter out all the "noise" in the world. It became a habbit because of the womblike peace it caused. It then became a physical addiction, to the point of needing to do it every 4 hours, or I would get sick.
Finally quit after I overdosed and cut my leg to "bleed it out." Friends kept me captive for a couple weeks and helped me overcome the withdrawls. Have only done it about twice a year since then.
