Have you tried cocaine?

You are absolutely right, addicts can lead very normal and productive lives. that has been proven numerous times in drug maintenance programs that treat addiction as a health issue, which it is, rather than as criminal behavior.
In those type of programs an addict is treated by a doctor and prescribed enough heroin or cocaine to maintain them and prevent withdrawals. It has been tried in Britain a few times with great success.

The big problem is
1) You assume you will be able to handle it without becoming addicted,
Risky assumption.

2) In todays "war on drugs" climate that has permeated almost all governments if and when you become addicted is when the problems arise. Not necessarily because your an addict, but because of the unavailability, unreliability of purity, and inherent illegal activity to acquire your needed doses to keep you sane throughout your day.

I am not saying that IV drug use will instantly turn you into an addict, just that your assumption that if you can handle oxy, well than you can handle heroin. Not really that sensible.

I had many opportunities to use heroin. Never did it. I know myself well enough to know that opiates are NICE and very enticing and I would most likely overdue them. I did get a habit on codeine once for about 9 weeks as I was going through a series of dental work. When it ran out it was misery.

Plus I always remember what a good friend of mine told me once,
she said " Don't ever try heroin, it's too good."
She had to go through rehab 3 times to get away from her addiction, so I took what she said to heart.

 

:rofl:....

 

Yeah orison, I noticed the same thing.
Ironic isn't it?
:smilielol5:

 

Giving a blow to get some blow.
Yeah your a real Einstein.

 

Brilliant *applause*

whats the big deal? if u dont like someone tell them to go suck dick for crack, that will shut them up
the other is a figure of speech as much as a warning to every girl that respect herself and likes to get high

 

i assumed baloon was a dude.

freshdacre, you should take these older heads' advice. you've tried coke. you've experienced that part of life. if you keep pushing it, you just might get to experience being an addict. moving onto heroin from oxy sounds just like addict behavior to me. sure you have it completely under control now, but what about in a couple of years?! it's impossible to know what the future will bring. i've done coke and it's not even that fucking good. yea i probably didn't get the best coke in the world, but i'm not gonna and i don't care.

 

It's going to take a lot more than that to make me shut-up, just ask anyone here.

 

Doesn't specify in the profile so..

 

balloon is tight.. welcome


it was getting dull around here with everybody being on the same wavelength, for the most part.

 

Yeah, i respect everybody's opinion, but i have my own perspective that i follow. I know there's a chance that i am wrong, and possibly i could end up an addict, but if theres one thing i know it's myself, and i know that i would never do that to me and my only body. Yeah coke is great to be social and oxy is great when your not doing shit. I plan on using these substances throughout my life for these purposes, mabey a few times a year. My life kicks ass and i know if i was addicted than it wouldn't be like that.

See, i don't know if this is how other peoples mind works, but my mind works weird like I am the observer of all my thoughts and actions, like a mind inside of a mind which gives me unbelievable control. Like when i am talking to somebody, my mind hears them, but i am like this seperate entity that watches down on myself and everything else, almost like my brains a machine that i have pure control over. Sorry if i sound crazy but i have always felt like this and never expressed it before.

 

Nope, you don't sound crazy at all.
Just young and naive.
And I don't mean that as a put down or derogatory statement, just fact.

 

uppers suck

 

just depends on what your mood watch says

 

i really think you're walking on thin ice freshdacre

you've gotten high from those drugs. continuing to do them infrequently is still damaging your body. there's not much else to experience there. why risk it?

 

uppers do not suck!
they make you feel so much better, are you kidding me.

 

Here's something to consider:

Ever been locked up? i don't mean prison. Just a pain-in-the-ass-wrong-place-wrong-time deal.
What knid of shoes do you wear?

 

I love it every now and then, maybe once a month to every few months, and I adore it when I do it. But I could never ever be addicted to it, because there is NO way it's *that* good...after a couple hours I stop getting high and just plateau and start feeling nauseous, and that's when the party's over!
Nice in small amounts though

 

I wouldn't ever recommend anybody to use that substance, ever. In my opinion, there is nothing to be gained from the experience, no insight, nothing. It's a feel-good high, nothing more.

My experience with the devil's dandruff goes something like this:

The high- Euphoria, love, kindness, confidence.
The crash- Hopelessness, despair, craving, the most empty feeling I could describe.

I spent all of my money in a couple months chasing a feeling that would always leave me broken-hearted until I completely ran out of money. The bottom of my bank account is what broke my fall, and I never did it again. Never plan to.
