Anyone ever take Heroin ONCE?

Kurt Cobain did herion and he was very sucessful...so I say go for it...just be prepared to suck cock for dope $$$

Nick Cave did heroin for twenty + years and then just stopped cold when he realized he needed to.

"He took heroin, on and off, for 20 years. Until his first time in rehab in 1988, he existed in a state of productive chaos, fiercely prolific even at his worst; he was once spotted on the London Underground writing a letter using a hypodermic filled with his own blood."

I think it depends on the person. Me, I'd never take it but I'm fearful of most drugs that aren't pot and oxycodone.

Yes some asshole mixed it with my speed many years ago. His name was Butch and everyone in my neighborhood hated him. He used to brag about getting kicked out of his high school for selling cocaine to his fellow students. I remember thinking, "What kind of asshole sells cocaine to high school students?"

I mean he is high on my list of disgusting human beings. I take comfort in knowing that he was not originally from southern california. Rather he was a southerner of sorts who moved here after things, according to him, "Got too crazy," wherever the hell he was from.

But drugs addicts are drug addicts and my personal convictions about moral decency went out the window when it came time for me to go searching for a bag of speed.

My friend and I snorted up the whole bag and about four hours later the heroin started to wear off and that was the worst feeling I had ever felt in quite some time. I remember just wanting to sleep it off but the speed was keeping me awake. My friend told me he had thrown up at some point.

I was always more of an uppers kind of person and I never understood the fascination with drugs that did not me feel like running 100 miles nonstop. Even today I have a 2 month supply of morphine in my closet and I won't go near it because of the feeling of being sedated just doesn't do it for me.

Oxycontin, on the other hand, is another story. Anyone who plays with OC knows what I'm talking about. There is no "nod" from oxycontin.

My favorite thing to do is just talk and talk and talk until all of the spit in my mouth is gone and everyone who is standing near is thinking of getting the hell away from this psychotic chatter-box who does not understand the meaning of a mutual conversation.

I have always wondered about the stuff as well. I have had 2 people who I at one point was very close to die from either using or complications from addiction and I have always wondered what the big fascination is. I was no longer close with them at the time of their deaths but these were people in their mid to late 30's. Not really an age of experimentation anymore imo. I have always been a recreational drug user, never really got 'hooked' on anything but this is one I've never ventured. Unless you count 'X' which supposedly has heroin in it. Guess I will just continue to wonder... Just don't understand how a person can completely ruin their life and the lives of people around them for a drug.

Well... the guy in Trainspotting said take your best orgasm of all time... multiply it by a thousand and you still don't even come close to heroin

And that is exactly the roulette wheel you spin when you inject it. If that first rush, which is what every junk head (showing my age) is after, captures you, you will do anything to get it again. It becomes the soul focus of your existence. Growing up in Brooklyn I unfortunately had contact with quite a few junkies. When I was sixteen and working in a gas station, one of the people I worked with was an addict. He had been in jail for a year. Even after a year, the pull of the rush was so strong, the first thing he did when he was released was shoot up. Another person in the neighborhood was a golden gloves boxer who became addicted. He used to terrorize people and rob them. One day they found him dead in the schoolyard. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that people had parties to celebrate that he died.

exactly... why do people tell themselves that they're different and can handle it? I smoked it once but only found out after that what I thought was a joint was laced with heroin. Thankfully I didn't smoke all that much but we were in a pretty bad situation that night and just needed to get away so I think all that contributed to why it didn't have tooooo much of an effect on me... but I've never felt the way I felt the next day, worst 'hangover' of my life and unlike any I've ever had. I genuinely believe that the people who 'spiked' us had much worse intentions that night and I was so glad to get away and find our friends.

No one HERE on this thread perhaps... but I have read that exact thing over the years a few times on this board. People saying how they'd like to try it cos something that gets someone hooked so badly MUST be fucking fantastic :eek: or they suggest it's been glamourised wherever they are... and that they wouldn't worry about getting addicted cos they're stronger than that. Lots of pretty strong people have lost everything cos of that chance they took :mad:

Of course I'm sure people have different reactions to the stuff but why take that chance? With ANY drug?

It definitely doesn't seem like the type of drug people take occasionally, but like something people get into who have had a lot of experience with other stuff. My brother-in-law is an addict and admitted to only trying heroin because everything else bored him. He eventually had to leave the town he grew up in and everyone he knew and has started over. But he definitely left a trail of broken relationships (and two kids who will never know their father) behind. Many sad stories...

Well how many people have actually met satan and dint go to hel.
Heroin is death, I have never been in the same room with it.

1STmammal2wearPants

I'd never want to even be in a position where I'd consider trying it. Plus, the people I hang around with wouldn't do that garbage.

Flannel Shirt

Everyone I have ever known who has used Heroin is dead, in jail, or about to be one of the two.

Regarding the ONCE thing....
I would never in a million years try it. EVERYONE has heard a story about a first time heroin user OD'ing, or getting HEP, or AIDS, or some terrible shit. I would never try it. Same with cocaine. I have heard a million stories of first time users dying from and OD.

it just ruins your life. period.

I'd only try weed. Never head of anyone OD'ing on pot. Passing out, sure, dying, never.

Dont try it. Not worth the risk.

No, there was a special episode of A&E's "Intervention" that was all about this one high school outside of boston where a bunch of kids died of heroin ODs in one year. they all started off with oxycontin and progressed to heroin. DroptheLeash should be warned that most of the kids were his age or younger when they started too!

I can confirm that this is bullshit. I know countless people who use or have used cocaine, I have used it myself on 2 occasions. I don't intend to again but that's because I have an addictive personality and besides, it really wasn't as good as it's made out to be. Not worth the money or the long-term health issues. Besides, I know too many people who have been fucked up by addiction.

HOWEVER. I have NEVER known a person to OD, die or get into any sort of trouble over it from one use. If you know that you have proper stuff and not something cut with asbestos or sawdust and rat shit then cocaine is safer than a lot of drugs. Of course you can OD if you don't know what you're doing, same with any drug really. I have a friend who got so blazed on weed that he had to be carried home. I have never seen anyone get in a state like that from coke. The only downside in the short-term, as far as I can tell, as long as you know what you are doing, is that it makes you a complete dickhead. Take a regular cunt, stick a line or two of bolivia's finest up his nose and watch him become a super-cunt.

just because you don't know anyone who has doesn't mean it hasn't happened. yeah, the chances are probably relatively small. however, you never know how something is going to effect your individual body. for example, you could have a pre-existing heart condition that you didn't even know about and *one* dose of cocaine could kill you.

i would like to see a drug that rids one of a the common cold instantly. i would take that drug.

as for herion, most people know the outcome, and from what i have read in this topic, most people know someone who has made the choice to inject this substance into their lives.

Cocaine can cause coronary artery spasms which lead to a myocardial infarction. This effect can happen randomly to any user. The coronary artery spasms can occur on the users FIRST USAGE or any other usage after. The coronary spasms cause the ectopic ventricular foci of the heart to become hypoxic and the extreme irritability can trigger life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

I know a few cokeheads. They are fucked up people, always chewing on straws, pens, ATM cards, twitching, rocking in their stance, taking 100000 miles a minute, paranoid beyone belief, and constantly grinding their teeth. One of them had a heart attack his first time. Not shitting you. He lived, and went back to it for god knows what reason. yes, it can easily kill you the first time.

My ex just got back from rehab. He was doing 80's daily, robbing his family, making bets he didn't win just for the chance to make some money and buy his shit. Whether people know it or not, once can kill you, maybe not physically causing death, but it'll kill the person you were and make you into someone you never should have been.
