I want to try Heroin

I know this belongs in /r/drugs, but I've been a part of this community a little while, so I thought I'd get your thoughts.

What does it feel like after you do heroin? I keep reading different things telling me there's a rush, and others that it's mellow. Is it like Hydrocodone? Back in highschool, my friend's dad used to leave his yellow or green Hydros around, and we used to take 2 or 3. This was probably my favorite drug of all time. Is it comparable?

Is it possible to be a casual user? I've done good coke, accidentally swallowed crushed up meth that I was told was molly, also done lots of real molly, X tabs, acid, amphetamines, and I've never had the urge to use them again the next day.

What's the difference between black tar and #4? I don't want to smoke or inject, I was thinking of snorting it.

This thread is noob as f**k, and I know a lot of people have horror stories, but I just want to hear someones opinion of what I should be expecting.

Edit: I didn't expect this many replies... thanks for sharing everyone.

Thanks /r/DNM

Dont get tar if you don't want to smoke or inject. Get some good #4 and snort it, just do a little and you'll be fine. It's very possible that you'd do it a few times, have your fun and move on. But since you stated you enjoyed the feeling of painkillers in the past, it's more likely that you'll really enjoy the heroin buzz and you'll seek it out again.

For people who are generally happy and outgoing and have a great family, social and professional life, I think addiction is less of a risk. But if you're depressed, introverted, lonely, etc then heroin is going to be very hard to only do recreationally.

So odds are you'll dabble with it at first, then use again and again. Your tolerance will increase, your money will disappear, your family, friends, work/school situations will all deteriorate. Eventually snorting won't cut it and you'll start shooting up. It'll blow you away and then you're really in for it. You'll sell every last thing you own to keep getting that fix.

Maybe it won't happen to you. But the risks are very real. It happened to me and I've seen it happen to friends over and over again. So you need to seriously consider the very real possibility that you will be throwing your life away in the future if you take that first step. Is a drug- induced nodding stupor really worth all that? Heroin cost me everything, I was lucky to get out with my life. I'm still trying to repair all the financial, physical and social damage it did.

So the choice is yours, but just please realize that all the horror stories you hear about heroin are not exaggerated... it really is that dangerous.

That is probably the worst idea you've ever had. I strongly suggest forgetting about it completely. While I am sure it is awesome the addiction factor has destroyed more people than you can think of.

Somebody tell this kid to not do heroin?


[10 Points] ownowfuck:

Don't. And pretend you never had this idea in the first place.


[8 Points] craigjoe:

4 you can snort, start small and it will fell like regular pain pills but if you do more and more you will feel a lot higher (maybe even puke). Snort it and you will be fine. It is easy to be a casual user, although tolerance builds quick with snorting so many people move to injecting, but it isnt something I would ever do. Black tar is for shooting and smoking(it is less expensive and mostly on west coast vs east) ask over in /r/opiates also if you have questions good bunch of people

Please reconsider. No matter how many "horror stories" you hear they will never relay how bad it can frack your mind and life up. I've done everything under the sun and never had any symptoms of being an addictive personality (including oxy's and morphine). My first hit almost killed me and I was asking for another line after about 30 minutes. Don't do it, buy some fun drugs, spare yourself the pain, move on. If you want a casual opiate buzz buy some opium and smoke it and pop a 15 or two.

That being said the buzz is fucking orgasmically amazing if it's good. If you're super set on trying it make it a one or two day thing where you will have absolutely NONE within reach for a week or so after. Better safe than sorry.

I've been clean for awhile now but it still holds on to my number one drug spot (acid is a close 2).

I'm waiting on some H right now and it'll be my first time as well


[5 Points] somejohnguy:

if you're already asking the question, what does it feel like?, to me, you're already in too deep, brother. along with the fact that now you know the pills won't kill you, which tells you for the most part the H wont kill you (aside from an accidental or purposeful overdose). these two facts make me want to just tell you to not do it.

i could lie and say it feels shitty, but you know thats retarded because why would anyone ever do it twice. if could tell you the truth and say its the greatest most peaceful, relaxing, and overwhelming warmth that you'll ever experience - yet this still wont even come close to doing it. it never does. if you could understand without doing it how great it is, and in turn how easy and wonderful it is to do it over and over, then you actually wouldn't try it, because we all know where this leads.

there is a small percentage of people who have an adverse, naseua like, reaction to powerful opiates, and if thats you, then you may generally not like it. but the hydros being your favorite is something most H users probably said at one time. nothing like popping a couple pills and geeking out on tiger woods golf or gta back in the day...

man, the truth is, guys like the dude who said he's been using a while and isn't hooked, just doesn't know it yet. and if you think you won't, you will be too. someday down the line you'll be on some type of treatment be it methadone or suboxone, or just your typical meetings, and you'll understand what all this shit meant.

there's just no way to know, until you try it. be smart. weigh your options and try to invision a future in your life, be it good or bad.

I recommend getting #4, half a gram from AlexSosa1KG. Snort some small bumps and enjoy a fantastic high. I've used H for a while now and I'm nowhere near a strung out junkie. I admit I do sometimes have a binge here and there but I for sure have my habit under control. I hate when I see these threads and it's full of "stay away" or "don't do heroin". People just need to answer the question or keep their mouth shut. You're an adult, you can make your own decisions. Not saying H isn't dangerous, it is. But it's possible to chip and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.


[2 Points] select1on:

Risky road you'll go down. From what I've read you can probably get away with once because you haven't built a chemical dependency so you are drawn to the feeling for the feeling. Once you establish a chemical dependency you end up needing it for that and not the feeling directly.

Think of cigarettes, they don't even taste good but people do them anyway and struggle to stop. Now imagine how bad it would be if they tasted like the best feeling ever. A struggle I can do without.

I've seen some desperate addicts in my life and that's enough to dissuade me from even trying it.

That's me though, I could be wrong and I'm OK with that.


[2 Points] tvgn9545:

I've never done H, but whenever see a documentary, 1 minute they after they shoot it they fall into a complete stupor and keel over and don't look like their having fun. I think snorting some H might be nice to try once, but I'd rather stick with something safe... like crystal meth. I always put it in my coffee and feel like a party animal for hours on end.


[2 Points] goat_tiggies:

It's honestly not that great. I like oxy much better. h leaves me constipated.


[1 Points] DomeShotDenton:

It has to be similar, it is all chemically that opioid feeling


[1 Points] conroy1:

gg.


[2 Points] julesandvince:

Not worth it man. Run as far away as you can from the pretty poppy flowers and their seductive, artificially synthesized derivatives.

Try something like this.

  1. Buy some weed and chili cheese Fritos
  2. Cover said Fritos in nacho cheese
  3. ???
  4. Profit!

DON'T DO IT! SERIOUSLY... DON'T DO IT.


[1 Points] hdheuud:

Heroin isnt even that good to be honest.


[1 Points] yawningangel:

I'd avoid it mate. Never tried it (its on my list of no fuckin way) but I've seen a lot of friends go down that path (been robbed by a couple subsequently) and it never ended well..


[1 Points] CryoSage:

Reconsider, and don't touch the shit. You will never miss what you never had. And in this case, it's worth not ever knowing.


[0 Points] throwitbitchass:

Don't fuck with drugs that are harder than you man

I heard a story on NPR (I think) a while back about a woman who used heroin on a daily basis for around 10 years and was completely functional aside from the $1000 a month habit.

Eventually she said it just lost its allure and she quit.

Her situation will most likely not be your situation though. She was white, upper middle class, type a, employed, and ended up writing a book about her life.

She described the feeling as getting a really good piece of news, but even better.
