I still have the opinion that crackheads in rehab should teach drug awareness at schools.
Give them icecream or something in exchange.

Yep. Have some real drug addicts come in and talk about how drugs ruined their lives. Much more effective than that stupid DARE program.

I knew a guy that used heroin to get off coke. It worked, and he quit both when he went to the state pen. Of course that was after the bullet holes in the back of his car, and few arrests for petty offenses....

I worked with another guy that permanently quit heroin. He was ditched at a hospital in Baltimore, but they couldn't bring him back. No big loss in that case. He was a piece of shit, even without the drug issues.

I also used heroin to quit crack. Problem with that is that it's a million times easier to carry a dope habit without hitting bottom. It allowed me to continue being a drug addict for about 5 more years because I was able to keep jobs here and there and keep up a facade of maintaining somewhat.
When you're a crackhead, there's no pretenses, no facades, no bullshit about it as you hock everything you own and then start hocking everything everybody else owns too.

I don't think heroin's that bad for you if you can afford the habit. As long as you get good dope, and keep your stuff clean, you can have a habit and live to an old age.

I'm sure that's theoretically possible at first, but once your addiction gets to the point where the addiction itself takes priority over the income-generating means to enable those suggestions, it seems like the addict would just devolve into feeding the addiction at any cost. I mean, if you can't hold down a job because you're fucked up all the time, or trying to be, then its probably hard to pay for the good stuff and keep things clean, right?

Heroin just doesn't strike me as something that people can do "recreationally" for any significant length of time and still remain functional. Whether or not my statement is correct, it's probably true that there are significantly more dysfunctional heroin addicts than there are those that have remained functional.

It's pretty awful stuff, from what I gather, and I'm not sure its productive to advocate keeping the habit in check as a long term solution. Probably best to not start at all, or get help before you're totally gone.

Heroin addicts usually die from feeding the habit...not from the heroin itself. A wealthy heroin addict would probably live a long (and relatively) productive life.
There comes a point where the heroin high becomes the norm...and they can function fairly normally while under the influence.

The biggest health risks come from the life that most lead chasing the habit...and from adulterated dope.

For sure... I think you'd have to be rich to be a successful junky, and I'm talking about Rockefeller type rich. You'd have to get the best drugs, and always have a clean kit. Sometimes you just get lucky... WS Burroughs lived into his 80s, and I think he was in and out of heroin his whole life.

Good evening Sir, my name is Steve. I come from a rough area. I used to be addicted to crack but now I am off it and trying to stay clean. That is why I am selling magazine subscriptions.

You're not allowed to incriminate yourself or others. Swim = someone who isn't me

The "drugs and sex" subforum there is interesting.

Great find! Here's a gem from the what kind of porn do you enjoy thread.
SWIM likes the dirty stuff... Gangbangs, Anal, DP, etc.
Anything made by Anabolic, Red Light District (with the exception of that horrid Paris Hilton one), Evil Angel
Yes the chick(s) definately have to be enjoying it..
He also likes it if the chicks are wearing some kinda stockings thats always a plus.
And it doesn't matter what drug he's on or if he's sober, it doesn't change.
But he will agree with a few others, coke and meth always went great with porn!

I find their no self incrimination rule very interesting. Pathetic that a site where former addicts are trying to convince current addicts to get off the junk has to have a rule like that to protect their members. Gotta love the focus of our war on drugs.
