One of the many scoundrels of the drug world. It's quite addictive and has quite a few negative health effects you should look into, maybe. I mean, just ask Layne Staley or Philip Seymour Hoffman how heroin made their lives awesome.

Heroin is definetley not the "worst" drug you could do, the worst drug you could do is a drug that causes mental and or physical damage even with moderation ie. Inhalants (Excluding Nitrous), at least that's the way i see it.

The media has made this drug out to be the devil when in reality it really isn't. I think it's ironic how people are so looked down upon if they even mention that they have tried heroin when you have all these pharmacutical companies pushing their own version of smack ie. oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, fentanyl and the list goes on and on and on.

Anyone with a weak mind and no discipline should never use heroin or any opiate for that matter. Heroin can be used in moderation, but i believe a small amount of people are able to do this, they are known as chippers. If you are about to try this drug you absolutley MUST respect it and it's family (opiates/opioids) because if you don't, well just be ready to lose everything you have and end up on the streets.

There is one thing i do not recommend to people at all, please don't IV this drug. Once you do you will have opened a door that for most of you wish you had never opened, just stick to snorting or smoking it.

A word of caution though this drug is very addictive in the sense that you can experience withdrawal symptoms in as little as three days of continual usage, although the withdrawal symptoms at that point are like a cold but a bit worst it can be easily tolerated. If you start to experience withdrawal the last thing you want to do is use it again because that ladies and gentlemen is the seductive trap that Heroin and other opiates trap you in.

Now let me compare the heroin high to the high off Oxycodone. They are both very very similar except that heroin the high is i'd say 2-3x more euphoric. You will also experience alot more respitory depression than with oxycodone. And believe it or not it's hard to fall asleep on this drug, unless i guess you get into the high doses where you start nodding.

I am an example of a chipper, i use only on weekends to escape the stress of working 70 hour weeks with no days to myself among other shit. It completley melts away all your problems, you won't be able to find them if you tried your hardest cuz you wouldn't give a shit. It's like taking a vacation from your life without really leaving your life.

Next to Methamphetamine, Heroin is the worst narcotic you could ever put in your body. Heroin is derived from the poppy plant like Opium and Morphine, is a opiate derived narcotic. Opium plants can be grown all over the world but one of the key places is Shanghi, China. The first person to synthesise and create Heroin was a English chemist, named Alder Wright. When chemist Felix Hoffman found out about Wrights idea, he was told to make codeine out of heroin. Ater he was successfull Heroin was sold over the counter from 1898 to 1910 as a cough supressant, and a medicine to help alchoholics quit drinking. Heroin's name is derived from the German word "heroisch" meaning "heroic" because of the heroic, self confident boost users first recieve from the high. Depending on the amount of heroin used, a user could just get a bad hang over and feel slightly nausous, or actually experience dope sickness. Dope sickness is a period of time, related to when nicotene addict is craving a ciggarette, and the user experiences sharp nervous tension, yet the difference is dope sickness is purely physical aswell. A user could throw up, feel feverish, have sudden spasms, and become absolutely lathargic with no energy. They can also become violent or highly emotional. Some people are so addicted to heroin they cannot eat if they do not have their drugs. In any case heroin not only messes your mental criteria severly by screwing with your brain, it drastically supresses your immune system. Just like people diagnosed with HIV, heroin addicts are much more succeptable to catching viruses and diseases, because their bodies are unable to fight off bacteria easily. The most common infection would be staph infections, followed by a cocktail of sicknesses consisting of blood infections,meningitus, any disease related to the skin including body lice (scabies),cycsnic acne,boils,liver infection or damage, inflammed heart (oversized heart, aka heart disease.) Because heroin is used intervenusously users (by sharing a needle or just by being in a dirty place while boosting drugs) can easily recieve HIV, Hep B, Hep C, Tetnis, Lukimia, and much more terrifying, and death defying viruses and diseases. Demonic souless drug that makes people into zombies.
"I had not taken a bath in a year nor changed my clothes or removed them except to stick a needle every hour in the fibrous grey wooden flesh of heroin addiction. I did absolutely nothing." (William S. Burroughs )

"I've seen Keith fall asleep at business meetings about millions of dollars for him-because of heroin, just nod out and then wake up and answer a question. " (Charlie Watts )

"It did not feel like something that was going to take over my life and destroy it. It felt like a subtle flower instead of a manipulative demon. That's the mystery of heroin. " (Corey Feldman)

Extremely addictive highly illegal easily obtained but expensive drug.

The main reason why most crimes are committed.

Slow, joyeus, inevitable suicide in a syringe..
Rob slowly sold all his possessions, witheld his rent, got into petty thievery, sold his arse on the street, murdered that old lady, got a lenient sentence due to 'diminished responsibility' and eventually died of an overdose on release from prison, oh the joys of Heroin.

Heroin, a cousin of morphine and a man made degenerate of Poppy, a plant that grows naturally and whose seeds are milked and used in pain killers. Opium from poppy seeds are natural however they cause addiction and they hurt the body by causing respiratory collapse, heroin is NOT natural, it was made by man, working for a company named Bayer, of Bayer aspirin developed the drug synthetically (chemically).

Quite Frankly, the stupidest mistake you will ever make in your life if you decide to "try" this man made abomination. To those who have thier opinions shaped easily by others, Do not , I REPEAT DO NOT, listen to those on this website encouraging the use, or even softening the appearance of Heroin. It is evil. Pure and simple. Why, in the world would you ever try such a thing? When the perfect plant that gets you just as high and heals you exist.

To those who want to try a drug, use marijuana. Never try heroin, crack, or anything that is man made, it will eventually catch up with you and kill you. Real talk right now.

Man made beer, cigarettes, crack, cocaine, heroin, LSD, PCP, Methamphetamine and the rest of the man made drugs.

God made marijuana that grows naturally and heals all sorts of cancers and helps with HIV/AIDS infection.

Who would you trust?
Joey: Man I've always wanted to try something cool..

Rich: I've got something for you bro..

(Joey and Rich walk by a street corner and there laying on the cement is a dirty man with a needle in his arm who appears to be constantly falling asleep and waking up subsequently over and over)

Joey: What the fuck is wrong with that guy?!!!!!

Rich: Man he's addicted to heroin... They call that right there "nodding off", it's a really stupid thing to try bro, that shit is not natural and you could easily kill yourself, become completely and utterly addicted to that shit. Made by man, fuck that I'm NEVER going near that shit! But this right here! (presents marijuana) this is all natural and will even help you with your asthma man! Gotta love mother nature bro!!

Joey: What's that?

Rich: Its an herb bro, grows naturally unlike the chemical soup that are all the other drugs, it was made by god and nature and heals the sick bro, and gets you to think in a different perspective about everything bro. It's the only thing worth trying of all the the drugs.

Joey: (Sniffs the Marijuana) that smells good! What's the name?
Rich: Bro, this is the AK-47 straight from the grow farm! Helps with pain and puts you to bed!

Joey: Sounds fun! Let's try it son!

Don't try any man made drug, not even once, or you may never be able to close that door ever again.

The best narcotic available, because instead of making you twitchy and crazy it makes you dark, moody, and artistic.
