Life long friends are dropping like flies. HEROIN EPIDEMIC.

i hear you man, i myself was a part of it... sober now, but kids in so cal are dying like crazy

If you really did mess around with H and put that sht behind you than you are one strong dude...major props

[Desabrah253]

currently going through it now. My town near tacoma washington has been hit hard. Iv user for 2 years now. Cant stop even when you see everyone around you being eaten up. Currently (forever) trying to get clean. Dont ever try it brahs, there should be more awareness about it imo.

[Big Natural]

I know exactly what you mean. I went through this in my late teens. A lot of kids were doing speedballs behind the school building and egging each other on to go further and further. Drugs was everywhere were I grew up and it ended 5 of my friends lives prematurely. Sometimes the parents didn't even know their kid was on something.

Saddest thing I ever saw was when I found my friend after school hours behind the building. He had that white/yellowish foam coming from his mouth and a purple face. He wasn't breathing and his drug 'buddies' just left him when $hit got real. That scarred me for life. All faith in humanity was lost and shortly after that I moved to the other part of the country.

[irishstomp]

suprised you could do that after touching H ... recovering addict checking in and i can't seem to do that without it leading to full blown relapse

Same here. Currently on probation for my 2nd DUI. I got both DUIs while running out to score after getting hammered. I've learned that it's all or nothing for me.

[AndYUKnowThis]

And thats why you never do drugs folks. You dont need em to have a good time. Weed and Alcoho is fine, otherwise goodbye life. I know I'd never put that stuff in my body. I plan on having a healthy and energetic life well into my 70s.

[irishbarry]

Dam brah that really sucks. Didn't know Mass had a heroin epidemic, but I grew up in Boston.

Just curious what town in Mass? Plymouth, Duxbury?

I grew up in norwell..so ya dux,ply,weymouth,hingham,cohasset..

Its the worst in the country here ..according to the news im hearing just now..but not going to say its true. Its amazing cause all these kids come from good families, i knew there parents etc.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

One person I know of who graduated with me is dead from it.

probably a few others, but I don't really have ******** and don't really keep up with any of that chit.

sometimes curious to know who else has dropped off the earth from my graduating class...

[jones137]

alot of people get hooked on designer pills that are to expensive then look for the cheaper option --> heroine

Pretty much this. The problem is the Dr's and pain clinics handing out vicodin and oxy like candy. Then user gets addicted, needs more, takes to street to purchase but too much money and then they're a heroin addict. It's a problem all over the country.

[bdolzz]

It's getting out of control in some wealthy NJ towns as well OP.

this. It's becoming a big problem in wealthy parts of the Northeast. I'm from Westchester County in NY and in the last year or two there's a been an insane amount of drug overdose deaths in the news. Police around here are now required to carry some chit that's like an OD-antidote that revives people 100% srs. we have a task force solely dedicated to heroin now.

People don't like the ugly truth and don't want to acknowledge that their area has a massive problem. Sweep it all under the rug.

[inchamery]

Alcohol just doesn't do it for me. I find myself getting annoyed with the buzz and/or being drunk and just wishing it would end practically every time I have a drink. Not to mention hangovers hit me hard as bricks now that I'm older.
Not really my bag.

do you crave another fix when you do drink?

[Manc33]

After the war on drugs in the US, ******* use tripled and heroin use doubled.

I knew two brothers that were on heroin where both died of overdoses about a year apart.

Where I live, people laugh at that (srs). If you say "this heroin addict died" they laugh.

More awareness? I honestly think theres awareness, its just some people are young, dumb, and want to be co. I grew up in not so good areas and am just fine.

[Reveen]

do you crave another fix when you do drink?

A cigarette and some greasy food is about all I get a craving for when I drink. I'm over any sort of craving for opiates after an OD scared the life out of me.

[cphustla]

Lol you serious? Why would you even touch that stuff....logical thinking not even once.

[XiiiD]

I've lost two drug involved friends to suicide. From the Midwest, heroin isn't too big here. One shot himself in a benzo delirium, the other hung himself but I can't say for sure what was influencing him.

I'm pro broad decriminalization but ya gotta be careful with some of that chit brothers.

[bigtex89]

Marijuana is a gateway drug. Their deaths are partially your fault for introducing them to that devil drug they call pot.

Rip in peace to ops friends tho

My dad has worked in the Silicon Valley for 25+ yrs

He said a lot of programmers do ******* and heroine and you would never suspect it

[giannski]

yesterday my friend told me about how a bunch of old friends from high school are using horse and cat tranquilizers. just looked that up today out of curiosity and found out it's pcp. ho lee chit.

a couple other people have already passed away or been locked up from messing around with synthetics

loads of people in high powered jobs do coke. Friends in banks/consultancies in london and lots of them either do it or say it's all around the office

[Reveen]

It doesn't ususally start with "I think I'll try heroin today."


I went to the hospital for an injury and got put on hydrocodone. That ran out and I was still feeling pain and physically addicted at that point so I bought more pills off of friends. The pills are super expensive and heroin is a cheap way to be pain free and not get sick from withdrawal. I'm not trying to rationalize it, but this is how it usually happens (not necessarily the perscription part, but people tend to try pills first and then can no longer afford the habit).

Sounds more like ********

[Manc33]

I was in the groups of people that weren't taking that chit but nearly were. I mean people did that chit, but only very few people and most of the rest of the people kinda wondered why they did it. If you ever had morphine then you already know what heroin feels like. What a waste of time it is. Even as a painkiller it is unnecessary, they could just use hemp oil but they can't in case it cures you of other things (which it does/would).

[Tune5k]

heroin withdrawals are the worst thing i've ever seen. people feel like bugs are crawling all over them. it's amazing how people who have knowledge of what this does even start up to begin with. seems like the worst thing you can do to yourself and putting yourself in hell

[giannski]

Sounds more like ********

definition:

PCP
Also known as angeldust. Probably the scariest of all drugs. Was used as a horse tranquilizer. Makes the user hallucinate, become extremely violent, and not feel anything. People have been known to do horrible things to themselves while under the influence of PCP. DO NOT USE PCP. DO NOT. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.

[codyw912]

Came in to post saying this chit has been getting crazy in MA, and seen you're from here as well. No one real close to me has passed, but just hearing about kids from my town passing is awful.

I'm a huge advocate for the use of "hemp oil" for its medicinal properties, but know first hand that it won't do JACK CHIT to help you with post-operative or traumatic pain. Opiates are a god-send for those that need them, but they sure can mess your chit up if you aren't careful.

you can't really be this dense.

this. it doesn't even necessarily have to be have that high power of a job. I have a friend who works in multimedia advertising and his boss straight up lent him $100 to buy coke last weekend just because he heard my friend talking about how he wanted to buy coke but didn't want to spend the $.

Recovering h addict checking in. I keep going back in forth.. Literally can't explain the thought process unless you experience it yourself. And I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy..

"One more time" is the biggest bull**** lie
