what does it feel like to do heroin
A reply from [deleted]
Actually this is an obvious question but itās not what you might think. Let me explain it to you, Iāve been an opiate addict for a long time and tried many drugs. Drugs that are āuppersā have the most āobviousā euphoria. For example if you take adderall/coke/meth/speed/MDMA you will get this shining bright euphoria, self confidence, energy, and other drug-specific feelings (for meth like you are king or for MDMA like you love everyone). However, you owe these drugs back what they delivered to you. After a meth binge, or lots of MDMA use, or staying up all night on coke you will feel like shit. To an extent this aspect is similar to an alcoholic hangover.
On the other hand, for many people who experiment with heroin they are underwhelmed (not including IV usage, but most experimenters rarely ever IV first time). They just feel good, chill, happy, but they feel like this spooky drug āheroinā hasnāt delivered. They are just mellow. Oh obviously it has all been a lie they will think. Heroin isnāt spooky, itās chill. Itās not addictive like everyone else thinks. It doesnāt make you do stupid shit or stay up all day and hallucinate like amphetamines or coke. It doesnāt empty your serotonin like MDMA or give you a hangover like alcohol. People tend to just think oh, what a nice drug.
So the next day they wake up and everything is normal. No headache or shitty feelingājust a slight afterglow of that nice feeling. Oh it was cheap as well! It only cost $10 for a whole night of being high! I thought people said heroin was expensive? And then next weekend comesā¦ There are all these drugs I could do but I liked heroin. It didnāt fuck me up,āI could still think clearly. No hangover. No feeling like shit later. I still was awake. It just made me happy and content with life. Oh and itās only $10! Well, I should get some more for the whole weekend. This is great! I will use Heroin on the weekends now!
Now letās say this person works and has responsibilities. He knows he canāt go into work drunk, or on MDMA, or high. So he doesnāt. Itās actually simple. But heroinā¦ Well the user might actually find they do better work on heroin. Instead of being sad or grumpy or depressed with his jobā¦ he is justā¦ happy. Mellow. Content. Everything is fine and the world is beautiful. Itās raining, itās dark, I woke up at 5:30AM, Iām commuting in traffic. I would have had a headache, I would have been miserable, I would have wondered how my life took me to this point. This point Iām at right now. But no, no, everything is fine. Life is beautiful. The rain drops are just falling and in each one I see the reflection of every persons life around me. Humanity is beautiful. In this still frame shot of traffic on this crowded bus I just found love and peace. Heroin is a wonder drug. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin makes me who I wish I was. Heroin makes life worth living. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin builds up a tolerance fast. Heroin starts to cost more money. I need heroin to feel normal. I donāt love anymore. Now Iām sick. I canāt afford the heroin that I need. How did $10 used to get me high? Now I need $100. That guy that let me try a few lines the first time doesnāt actually deal. Oh I need to find a real dealer? This guy is a felon and carries a gunāhe can sell me the drug that lets me find love in the world. No this isnāt working, I need to quit.
To answer your question, heroin feels nice. Thatās all, it just feels very nice. You can make the rest up for yourself. Attach your own half-truths to this drug that will show you the world and for a moment you will feel as clever as Faust.
Edit: Thank you for the kind words. I received help and Iām doing well now. Luckily I was able to pull up and get help right before I entered the deadly downward spiral. Some of my friends have not done as well. Sorry to steal the limelight from OP

Reading that was more haunting than any anti-drug campaign that Iāve been exposed to. Thanks. A lot.

The third image are tags on tumblr. They read #anti-drug campaigns should be run by recovering addicts #cause like #how are you gonna talk honestly about how a drug affects your life if youve never done it #how can you really communicate what it does to your life if you ignore the reasons people do drugs in the first place? #i dont think anyoneās gonna believe you when you say a drug is bad if you never acknowledge the way the drug makes you feel good #tags

The thing that kills me about this, is that it frankly discusses the general misery and malaise that we put up with in our regular sober lives, and it says straight up that the drug makes it BEARABLE. This is the clearest and most straightforward description of ādrug addiction is not a failure of personal strength and character, it is an attempt to medicate and make survivable the horrifying sociocultural conditions that we are being forced to accept as the normal cost of living.ā Itās the Rat Park drug addiction hypothesis demonstrated in humanity.
President Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didnāt win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norwayās prime minister over the weekend.
Jonas Gahr Store, Norwayās leader, received the text message on Sunday, three European officials familiar with the matter said on Monday.
āConsidering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,ā according to the message, which was first published by PBS.
In the message, Mr. Trump also questioned Denmarkās claim to Greenland, saying, āThere are no written documents,ā and adding, āThe World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!ā
Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for more than 300 years, and world leaders have condemned Mr. Trumpās insistence that the United States take over the territory, a giant icebound island in the Arctic region.
Mr. Store said in a statement that Mr. Trumpās text message was a response to a message that Mr. Store sent to Mr. Trump on Sunday asking to speak to him about the crisis over Greenland and about Mr. Trumpās threat of using tariffs to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland to the United States, which Denmark has refused to do.
āAs regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,ā Mr. Store said.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly challenged Denmarkās claims to Greenland, but in decades-old agreements that the United States has signed with Denmark, the United States has explicitly recognized that Greenland is part of the Danish Kingdom.
Times like these I remember that Malcolm X quote about healing and how it requires acknowledging the knife is there. Things like “this isn’t who we are” and “this is un-American” and “what are we? [insert another country]??” reveal a deep seated denial of American history and state-sponsored domestic terror that I’m just not gonna entertain anymore from leftists over the age of twenty.
“If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three, that is not progress. Even if you pull it all the way out, that is not progress. Progress is healing the wound, and they haven’t even begun to pull out the knife. They won’t even admit the knife is there.”
i think to get into (superhero) comic books you kinda do have to get over yourself and be fine with not always knowing the full context. stop being afraid of not knowing who all the characters are or what happened beforehand and just jump into reading whatever you want and learn everything along the way. stop being intimidated by there being a lot of comic book, that’s a good thing
