Just my opinion:
I did heroin on a daily basis form the age 15-19. Was buying some weed or coke in N.Philly and got my "free" sample. I know real after school special shit. I tried it once before but took too much and passed out, thought i tot be pointless. That second bag about 2 monthes later I split it with a friend, like cumming for about 6 hours straight, in other words it felt better then puss. Anyway, I didnt miss a day for about 18 monthes, I got arrested for 2 counts of B & E, being as I was a juvenille then my mom locked me up in the house and I detoxed for the first time cold turkey. It was rough but I lived: cold sweats, shits, puking, insomnia, bones hurt. Heroin has the oppsite effect on you when you detox to when you experience the high. Where as cold sweats you feel comfortable, etc. I think I detoxed about a good seven times in four years it only gets worse one after the other. My last they put me on methadone for about a week and it was cake except for the not sleeping part, thats was always the worst for me. After day 3 or 4 you hallucinate always knowing what will make you get over this in the back of your head. "Basketball diaries" portrays it pretty well. Anyway I have been off it about 5 years, it took me to the edge and back: by the time I was 19 Ive seen: friends OD in front of me, stolen form everyone I knew and didnt know, robbed street hookers, robbed kids who didnt know know better yet, sold drugs, stole credit cards, robbed houses, been to 17 rehab programs most of which I dodnt last more then 1-2 days, sold hotbags, witnessed straight up people getting shot over it, been homeless, when under 18 got taken from house by courts, done everything short of selling my ass. Its bad news. Still I never lie about it its part of me and when asked I wouldnt do it different, it makes me who I am, also I when asked I dont even lie. My friends will ask me sometimes, "did it feel good" hell yeah it does or I wouldnt have been doing it so long. except of course when youre out of it. It something you really have to know in your heart if you want to be done of it. I faced up to four years in jail and I still couldnt keep my urine clean. It wasnt until I spent a couple days in jail that I realized I was done. I probalbly wouldnt have been able to keep with it but I started getting drunk and found out that alcohol can be far better then heroin. LOL.
Sorry to be so long about this I can go for days with my views of different aspects of this drug.
