Why Quit, It Makes Life Awesome!

Yes. Nobody understands us functioning users... Heroin helps me. It's pure bliss. It's one of the few things that Ive ever completely fallen, and stayed, in love with. I'm a better person when I'm using, because I'm happier, kinder, even more productive. People are dumb. In America we can literally eat ourselves to death. People don't judge others for being morbidly obese or for having diabetes when they are cramming toxins down their throats in the form of McDonald's burgers and candy, but if you tell someone you like to smoke some h throughout the day people assume you are a bad person. You. can be sent to jail for selling someone heroin, but parents can abuse their children's health by feeding them crap, with absolutely no legal repercussions. People need to learn to prioritize, and learn the difference between right and wrong.

You are crazy!!! My brother OD's on heroin and and it's ruined our family, and for you to say its so pleasurable and ok to do you are asinine and for hopefully for your families sake i hope they dont have to go through what my family has been through. Its only a matter of time before it catches up to you... Good luck dum dum

It may all seem like fun, if heroin is lifes ultimate pleasure the withdrawls are lifes ultimate torture,breaking the habit is the best thing I ever done in my life. Period. I don't hate anyone for what they do pissedoffmofo, if they aren't hurting anyone in the process then there's no problem, some of the users I know were amongst the kindest most down to earth people you could ever meet and further more not all of them were untrustworthy like you claim. A friend I know who still uses helped me get a job, quit daily use and get my life back on track, she used to feed me when I had no food and help me in so many other ways, nicest person you could ever meet AND a recreational opiate user, these people are to be pitied not despised, I also pity you, all human beings deserve the benefit of the doubt no matter their lifestyle choices you can't lump all heroin users together anymore than you can muslims or black people.

dude I HATE you and I hate recreational opiate users (the ones who really do have chronic pain I forgive)you're all ****** up in the head, untrustworthy, and a piece of ****, You lie constantly even about **** that's not related to the drug you kill people just for the drug and opiates are probably the cause for many of the worlds problems even if people don't admit it. Just **** you... go OD somewhere ya ***** all you bastards do is screw people over and talk so highly about getting your next fix whether be in heroine or tabs or some codiene based bullshit.

I used in my teen years and through college. Shot and I just wore long sleeves :) (and no I didn't share needles like a dumb *** they are about the cheapest and easiest ******* thing to get) . Thing is I used but didn't abuse. Your right its damn fun people just have different chemistry that seperates use to addiction.

When I quit cigs though I felt like breaking everything so I can understand addiction but when I quit heroin or work yeah I had some symptoms but nothing world ending.

People like to damn something and yes this is so ******* awesome your more button is liable to get stuck on but you know what that happens with everything. Alcohol,cigs,food for some people who gorge themselves into an immobile slug (for what the sensation of taste...yeah expand your horizons!?).

People ruin their lives and all those around them over MATERIAL ******* ****. Women who would sell the enamel off their kids teeth for the 500th $200 red dress, gambling, cars, figurines...point is sure the chemicals play a role in addiction and all the drama people bring into it but that role is dwarfed by your internal emotive personality which makes the vehicle you choose meaningless because hell it could be some fried chicken that triggers your demise if thats what your running on.

We are all different and no one can tell you how anything can really effect until unless you dare to try. Good fortune or **** luck. Or do nothing and cower in the corner like a cowering duck while the stress gets ya. Such is life.

amen

My heart goes out to you, you stupid little man. You keep saying the pleasure it gives you, but then on the other you r locked in its claws of withdrawals every second of the day. Which in your own words you say is horrendous.
How can something so fantastic make u feel so **** u'd kill yourself for your next hit.
Life is fantastic with out your numbing drug- meeting new people, getting married, haven kids, holidays, sunsets, suba-diving, eating chocolate marshmallows of sticks around a fire. Long walks on the beach, cuddles in bed, seen your kids happy smiling, kissing, running with wind in your hair. I could go on and on but with you if you couldn't get your next hit where would you be.....in the horrors, good luck with the rest of your fake " happy life"
But no thanks I won't be trying heroin.

To you people who are judging this guy, what gives you the right? All Americans are addicted to something, for most it is simply food, being a fat slobbering pig who thinks about food all day is just as bad as being an alcoholic, junkie, etc. Most Americans are addicted to coffee as well, which is two steps away from cocaine (I would know I did a lot of coke) and smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol all the time, you people are absolutely not any better than people like us who use heroin or other opiates recreationally, you just have a different vice. And all that matters is what type of person you are, if you are a good person who doesnt harm anybody and is a nice/generous person in general but like to do heroin, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Alcohol is 100% or 200% (I honestly don't know the exact amount but look it up yourself) more dangerous and destructive to your body and your brain, alcohol is POISON, you feel drunk because you are being POISONED, heroin is non toxic and non neurotoxic, it does little to no damage to your body or brain, so stop judging and understand the science of the drug and that not all people who you would consider a "junkie" are immoral people. The way heroin makes me feel is nothing short of astounding, I feel like a hero who can do anything I wish. That is where heroin got it's name from originally, people who used it thought it made them feel heroic so they named it heroin, simple but perfectly accurate. I graduated from a good college with a 3.8 gpa as well and have a very good paying accounting job, so tell me where heroin has ruined my life, if anything it has made me happy which allows me to do well in my career and the sports I play, helped me get great grades in college, etc. It has helped my life, not hurt it, and I am not the only one, there are a lot more of us than you think. If you stay in control of your use, and don't allow your tolerance to go up, heroin can be a great recreational drug, just like people who smoke weed once in awhile, just a better feeling drug.

I am in the exact same boat as you bro, I insufflate instead of IV and I only use between 5 or 6 days a month, so roughly 60-70 days a year, and I do not rob, steal, or do anything shady to get my stuff. Luckily for me I know a dealer who never cuts his stuff or gets low quality stuff (maybe once or twice a year it may not be great), and usually it is really good quality stuff. Heroin is really not bad on your body at all (clean or normal cut heroin), yes street heroin contains cut of course and has things like vinegar, caffeine, laxatives, calcium, etc etc etc, but most of the cut in it is harmless and you feel no effects of them. IV use of heroin is bad news though, all of my friends who were once like me (sniffers) who graduated to the needle lost control of their use and most ended up in detoxes many times and on suboxone or methadone or are just full blown junkies to this day. So to anybody contemplating trying heroin, if you are a person who can control their desires and want to try a life altering drug, then I would recommend to try it. To anybody who knows that they have an extremely addictive personality and/or are manic in nature, they stay away from the drug, because once you get addicted and take it to far, i.e. shoot up, then your life will never be the same.

Before attacking the poster, think for a minute people, damn, JUST for a minute...

Did he ever defend robbing or killing for heroin? No, he merely stated that heroin is one of the greatest sources of pleasure on Earth (and, sorry, but he IS right. And whatever you say wont change it). Many people are little monsters inside, one day that monster will find a way out (better sooner than later) and the trigger can be heroin, sure, just like it can be a lot of things. Don't blame is goal, blame the monster inside him. In fact, if heroin wasn't so pricey, due mainly because it is kept illegal, money wouldn't become such an issue anyway, and a trigger to further problems (ironic, right?). So, to end, if the question is "are non-users missing on a great thing?" YES! But they have the right to keep not using... if only they could accept those who think otherwise. i think that would be the first step to a more tolerant world.

As a mom who has been watching my beautiful boy destroy his life since he was thirteen. I am still trying to understand. He started using after seeing it in a movie at a friends house. They went to a park the next day and he just thought hey that guy looks like he will have some. They asked and wham! He was hooked. Sounds like something in a slum huh? Nope it was some suburban 17 yr old that was introduced to it by a 20 yr old. We did not know for a while. When going through withdrawal one day he ran for knives to kill his father because we sent him to his room.... That was the first time we had to call the police. By the age of 15 he was arrested for actually trying to kill me for not giving him money. So at what age should we start the world on it... Now my son is in prison and I actually sleep better. It was never the high. He was wonderful on it... We were just not willing to support his habit. I think this would be a very expensive family activity. Oh. Did I mention he is 20 now and dying from his behavioral choices. Was I a bad mom? Hmmm. I guess homeschooling him and no....I did not do that to seclude him from the world but to have the freedom to experience the world traveling and enjoying life. I guess taking him to church And singing with him in the car... Dancing with him in the living room. Staying up at night with him when he was sick. Teaching him to read and scuba dive was no completion for this drug. I love my son more than life itself and found myself committed to hospital due to the stress and anxiety of watching him die. Heroin stole my beautiful son and I truly believe that the people who sell to anyone are as bad as child molestors ....when someone sells they don't know who that dope is going into....and they dont care. I am visiting my dying son through glass. Wow. Every mom's dream. I am happy you were able to graduate from college. I never had the pleasure of watching my incrediably gifted boy graduate from highschool.

u make me sick

you silly little person, yay for you you managed to do your degree but to be hobest university isnt real life. most people start by chasing the dragon you are not to be applauded because you havent moved onto needles (YET) you live in a dream world id like to see you write the same thing again in 5 years time. Im pretty sure any future partner you have will have something to say about your recreational dablling in heroin lol. At least you made me laugh you moron get a grip before it gets a grip of you but by the sound of your drug addled fuzzy happy place brain it already has!!!!

"If you haven't done heroin, you haven't experienced the true pleasure life has to offer. You can't know what you are missing, the ability to reward yourself with a feeling that is undeniably life altering. If only you knew what living was like, you will never know pleasure as we users know.

We know what life has to offer, and you non-users are missing the greatest pleasure in the world. I pity you."



I find this quote terrifying. That **** will steal your soul.

I'm gonna argue that if you are addicted to heroin, you can no longer experience the true pleasure that life has to offer.

I've tried IV heroin myself. It's pleasant, nice and cosy, but the true joys and highs that life has to offer and fill you up with are infinitely greater than any drug. I pity the **** out of you if you've lost sight of that. There is absolutely no comparison between real love and happiness and the godless, empty love that heroin provides for the user. That **** will never make anyone truly happy.

I never tried, never wanted to try. I was married to an addict and he never wanted me to try: he died at 35. Can't be that good.

I completely agree, the problem with most everything people find a problem with in life is in reality due to the polarizing and generalized views held about said "problem". Whether your problem be heroin, alcohol, cigarettes, food, sex, even love (as in seeking love/acceptance in unhealthy ways). People do such a vast array of things which could & do destroy or diminish their lives however they are not all singled out and scapegoated the way drugs are in our society & heroin is probably the most undeserving of the bad rep it holds in the drug world; especially considering most people are on some type of opiate at some point in their life prescribed by their doctor and that is perfectly acceptable. If more people did the research they may find the truth (fyi check it out on wikipedia ;-)) heroin is NOT a toxic chemical, but it is strong respiratory suppressant & in a society such as ours where it is illegal it is much more dangerous that say in a UK hospital (where they safely use it in place of morphine). Also, if you dig a little deeper into how it became illegal in the 1st place and the history in general..it used to be ordered perfectly legally out of sears/roebuck catalogs, these were the "good ol days" of no crime people used to refer back to...the early 1900s..hmmm...so why all the crime now??? The legality, or illegality of it I should say; just like with the prohibition of alcohol, that's how the mob took over america back in the 20's....its was a huge crime wave which somehow motivated the country to re legalize & take control of it & look where we are now! Everyone loves and approves of alcohol!! Funny how when it comes to the crime way associated w/ illegal *drugs* that all it motivates is the 'war against drugs'; furthermore if you research ever farther back you will see that the battle over opium specifically all over the world is nothing new and at the end of the day is tied to money and control (no no the government would never be that shady would they!! ;-)) How ironic is it that it is one of the heaviest controlled, penalized drugs yet is biochemically non toxic and yet it is the most widely used for medicinally (meaning they make the most money off of it & for the same reason they don't want marijuana legal is the same reason heroin is illegal and has been labeled as such an unsavory character..which they tried to do to marijuana but too many people use it and know the truth and heroin is much easier to demonize due to its preferred method of use, adulterants added on the street and the fact it is addictive. Cigarettes are very toxic, just like alcohol but do people go around talking about cigarette smokers the way they do "junkies" ? No, but believe me when I say that not all (like not all junkies) but there would be some, enough of smokers who if need be would become criminals if and sell themselves or whatever they had to do to get their fix if it was made illegal..I know this from many prison and jail stories I've heard of what people will do/pay for what they need, all you have to do is see just how much smokers are paying already & maybe you get the idea! And no, this is not against smokers..just an ex that it is all the same & everyone should have enough respect, understanding and education to live and let live without the black/white ideology. I also have the respect for the **many** who have problems with heroin or any other addiction or "problem" in their life to know that their problems are very real and I truly feel for those people. To associate the stereotype of the "thieving junkie" with someone who uses or why not to use heroin is like using the image of an alcoholic living beside a dumpster reeking of liquor as the poster child for why you should never drink alcohol. Just remember, everyone is different and we all have our own fixes in one way or another ;->

if it could be legally cultivated by the individual or i was a millionaire it would be no problem, but after leaving school at 14 and having loads of on drugs b4 getting addicted to smack i am now on a meth scribt and have been for over a year i am reducing but hate it the so called normal world seems so so **** i am not sure if i really want to come back to it, i see so many faker people who never know the highs and lows that heroin can give you and it seems like they don't have a clue to who they are. the methadone seems to keep me like a zombie and i am having major trouble making new relationships with new people and alot of my old non junkie freinds have changed and it feels like we are just spending time with each other based on some old dream.



basically i am not sure if i should of tryed it as it gaved me alot of pain but i really felt pure love also, and i've never met a person who'd live i think looks so great anyway.

I agree in personal freedom and proper education. I feel that it is greatly misunderstood and if such a thing were to become legal tomorrow, then as long as unbiased and complete education were available then the world would not fall into chaos and disarray, quite the opposite actually. The kind of ideal society that is mature enough to give the people full control over their minds and bodies, therefor true freedom, is the type of society that is smart enough to avoid the perils that can be associated with excessive and unsafe drug habits. It is the law that creates criminals, and what's worse is by sending young men to prison they are really just going to crime college. Prison does not rehabilitate, it turns perfectly nice people into hardened criminals fighting for their lives.



So to everyone who so strongly disagrees please do your research and don't assume that just because something supports your point of view that it is fact. People have a tendency to cherry pick information so that it supports an opinion rather that considering the whole picture. There are dangers involved with heroin use; many of those dangers are created by our government through ridiculous repressing laws and mis-education.



Those of us who believe in true freedom for all are not saying that EVERYONE should go out and use right now. We are just saying that in our personal experience the propaganda has not stood up to reality.

CAN I HAVE SOME OF YOUR MONEY CUZ THE ONLY PROB I EVER HAD WAS HOW TO AFFORD MY DOPE EVERY DAY, CAN U HELP ME WITH THAT?

I'm so proud of you. I love heroin too. I'm currently on Suboxone after heroin and methadone for 15 years and heroin for 10 years before that. You would never know if you saw me. Since I've been on Suboxone, I've actually relented in my heroin use, but I still do it occasionally and if there's one thing you can be sure of, it is that heroin is always good. I can't find fault with the drug, only the people who shouldn't use it. Just because they can't handle it doesn't make heroin bad. Self-righteous idiocy and 12 step mentality only serves the ever increasing stupidity that is rampant in this society.

I'm on heroin too..but I hate when ******** like you talk about how they don't use a needle. **** it. Lets see you go with out it and see if matters on days 3 whether you use a needle or not.

MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO TRY SOME HEROIN IT REALLY IS AMAZING WE HAVE BEEN USING ONLY ON THE WEEKENDS FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS . IT RELAXES YOU AND GETS RID OF YOU PROBLEMS AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE . YOUUR RIGHT EVERYONE SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY!!!

Looser !

don't understand how any one of you can big this drug up and sell it to others as great!!! This drug is the devil, Ive seen people die from this, children suffer from neglect, families torn apart etc. Most of all it steals the heart and soul from that persons body and all you can do is watch them live an agonising life, because that person doesn't care who they have to hurt, and what they have to dofor thier next fix.

Well, my personal drug history is as follows: I didn't do any drugs or drink until the summer I graduated from high school. I was 18 and i smoked weed for the first time. i didn't get high. That summer i also drank for the first time and got wasted. I vowed to never drink again. When I was 19 I would drink sometimes on the weekends but some weekends I wouldnt. I started experimenting with different drugs. I would smoke weed at most maybe twice in a month because I had no tolerance for it and I would get so high I couldn't function. Most of my friends however were raging potheads who smoked all day everyday. I liked Adderall and would take that on the weekends whenever I could find it. I tried Percocets but nothing higher than 7.5 mgs and would only take one at a time. Still, I liked them.

When I turned 20 I moved into my own apartment in Newark. Not long after, this a guy I worked with painting told me he'd been doing heroin for the past several months. I told him I wouldn't mind trying it. The first time I did heroin I only did a little matchstick head bump and felt the best I've ever felt in my life for the next 4-5 hours. Incredible. After that it didn't take long before I was doing heroin everyday. I did manage to keep my tolerance fairly low though. And I was only snorting it. Never have shot it to this day. I was snorting about 4 bags a day. The stuff we would get were usually pretty good so it didnt take me too much to get high. So I did heroin everyday for about 6 or 7 months. I quit because after a while I wasn't getting high, only feeling normal. Figured it wasn't worth it anymore. The withdrawls were pretty bad in a way. Physically I had trouble sleeping, had joint and muscle aches for several days, chills, fatigue. But the worst part for me was the depression. One day I had to leave work because I had an emotional breakdown. I was unable to be happy and everything depressed me. This lasted about 2 weeks and I stopped it by getting ahold of a bag of Perc 7.5's. I would take half of one in the morning and another half at lunch and so forth until I leveled back out. Also, I began smoking weed everyday and drinking heavily. My apartment turned into a party pad and I drank beer everyday and smoked weed all day everyday, became a raging drunken pothead. Then the recession hit and I was forced to move home because I got laid off.

Basically I've been smoking pot practically everyday for the past 4 and a half years (i'm 25 now). I don't drink much anymore after I got a DUI two years ago but I definately had a good 2- 3 year period of heavy drinking. I'll do cocaine from time to time although it's been two years now since the last time I did it. I've taken Acid 4 times. Taken Mushrooms 4 or 5 times. I took Ectasy on New Years once two years ago and have done Molly's (pure E) two or three times (stuff is amazing lemme tell you). I've managed to quit cigarettes for the most part, from what i remember i was a regular smoker for probably 3 years. Never smoked crack. Taken Xanax and Clonopins several times but years ago back in my experimenting days.

Ok, which leads to my present day troubles. I've started back on Opiates with a vengeance. Remember how I used to only do 4 bags tops a day? Well, now I do 4 bags at a time to get the high I want. A bundle barely lasts me a day. I might have a couple left over for the next morning but thats about it. I also do Perc 30's when I can't get ahold of good dope or if theres an especially good deal on them at the time. Oxycontins are great too only they only make the OP's now and they suck ***. Can't snort 'em so I don't mess with them really. Only if I'm desperate. This has been going on for the past 7 months. I'm reaching the point where I'm gonna have to quit again. I've tried a few times now but it's getting harder and harder. I can't stand the withdrawl. And smoking weed doesnt help me sleep through it like it used too. Any tips????????

I think every addict spends at least a little time where you are. And your sooooo lucky to have spent a long time there. It gets ****** when u start running out of money though. I've been like u, i go to college and stuff. But god dam it's so ****** expensive. and the **** i have to do to get it, it's like i don't have any choice. Either i suck this guys **** or i get to go to hell.

once u run out of money, you'll understand why it sucks. When u can't get it, then u understand how it controlls u.

"...if only everyone knew its joy; the world would be a better place."



The problem is that if everyone experienced the joy of heron nothing else in life would compare to it.. heroin would become the most important thing in the world, and like with many junkies.. people will give up their houses, their jobs, their lives just for that next fix. It's addictive nature makes it very dangerous.



That being said, I've lived my entire life with crippling anxiety disorders and depression, where everything else has failed, opiates are the only thing that provides me any relief. But on the other hand my body is paying for it. I get so sick... If doctors could find a way to harness the calming and euphoric ability of opiates and get rid of the withdrawal and addictiveness.. there's definitely potential.

I have been a heroin addict for 10 years and it has destroyed my life, I lost my job, house, friends my brother died form an OD and I am totally broke and in the gutter. So heroin ******* ruins people. Not so much the drug it's the fact it is illegal and costs so much and what you have to go through to get it. Wish I could turn back the clock and never try it, becasue now it is in my blood, in my head it totally owns me I can't give it up I have tried so many times to stop but cant do it so I am better off dead

You lot are all a bunch of uneducated idiots, regardless of those of you who reckon you have this degree and that... which I doubt! Especially devilmademedoit WTF are you all about (i'm kinda hoping you're being sarcastic, in which case very funny matey, but if not.....) some smackhead portrays heroin in a good light you rush out and try the stuff... tell me, now you're a smackhead all your bills are getting paid? How does this work? Are you selling the stuff? Cause no way do you start on pretty much the most expensive drug out there and end up with more cash to pay the bills! AND you took the kids to the docs and they are now clear... you need to cut that stuff up with some talc, baking power or even glass in some cases cause you're clearly getting too much of a high of it!



Bottom line is, when you start using smack as part of your everyday life, you're f**ked!! You're not living anymore you're surviving everyday to get to your next score, teeth slowly rotting away etc etc, nice! Truth is you people are weak and addicted to something that is now dictating your life to you and you actually believe you're the ones who are in control, what a f**king joke! Portray the drug anyway you like, if it makes you feel better about yourself, just reading this sh*t or adding to it go right ahead, cause we all know deep down you're miserable and are on the slippy slope to using needles if you haven't already and if you have, well, just one place for you lot and good ridence!

I totally agree with you! :P
