Somebody's sniffin dat rich kid heroin lolololol...
So you already got a technique down or you just gonna wing it once that white horse gallops away?
Shit, sorry
*tan horse
You talking about methodone? I'm trying to keep a friend from killing himself right now for the same shit. In the year he was doing H, his brain stopped making whatever it is that opiates replace, so now he can't wean any further off the pink drink and is tied to the clinics for the forseeable future. Oh yeah he's also facing open heart surgery because the shit the heroin is cut with sandblasts your heart valves when you throw it right into your veins and it chewed his shit to hamburger. That coupled with the endocarditis and extreme pheumonia that finally put him in the hospital for a month deteriorated his heart so now he can barely run up stairs even with his phys rehab. Understandably, he's having a hard time with it so I've been hanging out with him and trying to keep him positive and off of a ledge.
So yeah. Don't do pills because pills just become powders once it's all the same and powders just want to take your life away. His story is one of dozens I know that read just about the same if not worse. Just kids having a good time, man. Everything's under control.
I hate OD threads.
Y U NO READ!?
He never shot pills. I'm not trying to be a dick or lecture, just maybe get people to realize that the shit they probably consider a good time and under control might not be. If you're doing opiates daily, you're already there, already feeling sick when you're not high and you get out one of three ways
1). You get caught
2). You OD someday once you graduate to H
3). You have a scare or an epiphany
Unfortunately 3 doens't happen very often. I hung out with some fuckin' partiers and most of them that were into that are shells of their former selves thanks to opiates. I just wanted to say it so maybe one person will stop before they get to the daily rail chasing stage and fall into the cycle that will ruin their fuckin' life and those in your immediate area. After seeing people fall apart in epic meltdowns I feel like I'd want to know, y'know? No hate, I just worry sometimes.
Oh and I don't actually have a vagina, just a pink name and fresh paddle marks. Those Mods sure can swing that thing.
a kid at my school a few years ago did methadone. i think he Od 'd but anways he died .
fuckin idiot he was
Yeah shit just gets scary before you realize it with those things so I'm usually the dick about it. I may have said it like an asshole and sorry if it pissed anyone off but it's just to elicit a response and get your attention, because shit is way scarier than it gets credit for. Oh, it's just so simple. They're so clean and packaged by professionals, it's easy to look right past them being so incredibly fucked. There's nothing wrong with partying and trying shit, but the line between partying and addiction gets so fucked up when you're talking about chasing a high so it pays to think about it.
Sorry for being the dry pussy, but it sucks to watch people you liked die or end up with dat brain chernobyl as you have clearly seen. Yes I pulled the 75% out of the pooper but that might even be conservative around here to be honest. From what I hear it's a regular high school reunion at the downtown Habit OPCO- People I would have never imagined would even try it are down there sippin' the pank drank. Craziness.
PopS, I know the kid was trolling. No worries.

Switzerland introduced a pragmatic national drug policy when the former conservative abstinence-orientated politics proved unable to cope with an escalating number of users and related negative consequences for public health and public order. The high visibility of 'needle parks' and the size of the acquired immune deficiency disorder (AIDS) epidemic called for a new approach and for national leadership.
AIMS:To describe the intentions, the process and the results of setting up the new treatment approach of prescribing heroin to treatment resistant heroin addicts, as an example of drug policy change.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:A systematic collection of relevant documents is analysed and used as evidence for describing the process of policy change.
RESULTS:Measures to reduce the negative consequences of continued use and to prevent the spread of AIDS were started mainly by private initiatives and soon taken up officially in the 'four-pillar' drug policy (including harm reduction, prevention, treatment and law enforcement). Medical prescription of heroin to chronic, treatment-resistant heroin addicts was one of the innovations, based on extensive scientific and political preparation. Detailed documentation and evaluation, ample communication of results, adaptations made on the basis of results and extensive public debate helped to consolidate the new policy and heroin-assisted treatment, in spite of its limitations as an observational cohort study. All necessary steps were taken to proceed from a scientific experiment to a routine procedure.
DISCUSSION:Comparable policy changes have been observed in a few other countries, such as The Netherlands and Germany, based on the Swiss experience, with equally positive results of heroin-assisted treatment. These experiments were designed as randomised controlled trials, comparing intravenous heroin against oral methadone, thereby demonstrating the specific value of pharmaceutical diamorphine for maintenance treatment in opiate dependence. The positive impact of policy change and the positive outcomes of heroin-assisted treatment were acknowledged increasingly nationally and internationally, but made it difficult to continue the process of adapting policy to new challenges, due to the low visibility of present drug problems and to changing political priorities.
CONCLUSION:A major change in drug policy was effectively realised under typical conditions of a federalist country with a longstanding tradition of democratic consensus building. Facilitating factors were the size and visibility of the heroin problem, the rise of the Aids epidemic, and a pragmatic attitude of tolerating private initiatives opening the way to official policy change.
