ya man. nothing grabbed me by the balls like H did. the happiest i've ever been in my life was from H. it would just put me in a world of peace and even tho i haven't messed with it for over a year i still think about it and dillies all the time. then once you start breakin out the rigs you start gettin addicted to the needle. you find yourself shootin up random **** to see what gives a rush or not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif haven't used em in over a year tho. haven't touched any pain killers either for a year as well, which is the longest i've gone without em since i was 17. i'm 21 now.

then drugs must not be bad in your area... pittsburgh is #2 in the country behind baltimore for highest opiate addiction and we are a small town compared to alot of big cities. i know a dozen who died just in the past year... the amount that have died since i was about 15-16 is crazy.. i would say in the 20's easy..it just seems within the last year people started dying a lot more often..i dont know if its stronger or people are just doin to much but its bad. my friend and his dad both OD'd and died about 3 months apart it was pretty crazy. the son was with a girl and she saw he was dying and let him sit in a car outside her house dying for 28 hrs instead of calling an ambulance because she was scared she would get in trouble.. pretty disgustiing.
lost my connect and went through withdrawals. i was only addicted to the H in particular for 3 weeks, so can't even imagine what kind of psychological and physical pain you must have gone through. i only used to snort my H since i was only 18 at the time. when i was 19 i got into dillies and oxy a lot. i had always been big on oxy and other pain killers, but didn't start shooting them until then and that's when the needle fixation started. I never really hit rock bottom though, so i know for sure i'll start using H again at some point. Honestly the only reason i'm off opiates now is to take a much needed tolerance break. I was at the point where i was banging 120 mg of oxy to get my rocks off, or 8mg of dilaudid. I couldn't afford it anymore.
yes i know it's sad, and i know i'm pathetic, but to all you people who are gonna judge me at least i know what IV dilaudid feels like. (i can already see this getting sigged //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif)

well i know a girl they hit her with narcan twice and she still didnt come back so thats not a garauntee to live bro. ive never been to a needle exchange so i dont know if they do anything like that or not.be careful if you really want to go back to dope it dont lead anywhere good...trust me lol... broke,dead, or jail...those are about the only options you have and being broke is best one outta the bunch. i was pretty lucky as i said, i never really hit bottom either i always had a job to pay for my addiction so i never stole or anything like that..ive never stolen in my life to be honest... i've never been to jail either but most i know who do dope dont even work so they just rob people all day long or look to rip someone off somehow.... drugs are a fucked up life to lead if u have bad enough urges you might want to get on suboxone.. it really helped me..got my life back to normal even before i was off the subs. i honestly dont see myself ever going back to dope just because i promised my mom i wouldnt put it her through all that bs again... my sister and i tortured her..my sister was on dope before me and way longer than me so we've probably put her through alot of worry. but we are both good now so its all good.
why is this thread titled "R.I.P" it should be Good Riddance Amy Winehouse

She used to be pretty attractive until she started doing hard drugs. Kids... pot is okay but stay away from everything else.

nothing wrong with a few psychedelics here and there (as long as you keep it to mostly shrooms and DMT, with maybe droppin some cid every once in awhile). i'd say psychedelics keep me pretty stable, when used in moderation. they help bring out what's important in life.

Kinda but acid does mess with your brain if you do too much and shrooms can freak people out because it makes you think too much. A long time ago one of my buddy had a bad trip with shrooms and let's just say it wasn't fun when you're tripping out trying to calm down a guy that's freaking out and crying about everything. Also had a friend who did a bunch of acid and one time he did way too much(dealer told him to not take more than 3 triple-dropped sugar cubes but he took all 9 because he was stupid) and he was permanently "slow" after that. His parents were pissed off because he might as well be classified as mentally retarded. Also back in highschool this guy loved ecstasy and eventually he became a dealer, last time I heard about him he was in the hospital for getting shot from a deal gone bad.
I've done just about anything you can name out there and pot is definitely the safest. I don't smoke anymore though because most good jobs drug test.

while a very intense acid experience can be life changing, i doubt your friend would be "slow" or "retarded" after a single ++++ experience. if you did high doses frequently over a period of time, then yes it might make you slow. these stories always start out with "one of my friends" and then yada yada yada someone died, or someone took their clothes off and walked around the street ***** and got arrested... u get my point. most of it is bogus. one of my buds took over 10 hits and he said he tripped HARD for more than a day, and he's completely fine. and notice how i didn't mention xtc. xtc is very neurotoxic, and if you're gonna partake in it, save it for once in a blue moon for something like Ultra or something.
And just cuz most jobs drug taste, doesn't mean you still can't smoke pot. not gonna go into details, but there are ways.
and ya shrooms can be emotional sometimes, but there's other "newer" substances that are out there that are similar, but much better that won't cause the same kind of crying emotions.

what!!!!!
i had no idea that's what she looked like before hand. she must have been involved in meth, as that's really the only drug that can change your appearance to that extent. ya a lil dope can make you look a lil homely, but you'll recover from that. long-term amphetamine addictions are the real things that will mess you up, along with lots of cigarettes and not enough hydration.
dam that pic of her on the left makes her look nice and thick! i nvr would have guessed!

Addiction has been listed as a true medical disease. It's not just physical but neurological in nature. The physical part of addiction (withdrawal) can be readily managed with the appropriate medications. The main issue is the uncontrollable, compulsive drug craving, seeking and use. There has been much scientific work that shows a link between the disease of addiction and genetics. As a matter of fact, it is said that if you have an addict in your family lineage, your children have a 1 in 4 chance of becoming an addict themselves if they ever use. Even once. That is all it can take to trigger the limbic system of the brain and begin to rewire the reward system.
The limbic system is located near the brain stem is one of the most basic of brain functions. It links together a number of brain structures that control and regulate our ability to feel pleasure. Feeling pleasure motivates us to repeat behaviors such as eating - actions that are critical to our existence. The limbic system is activated when we perform these activities - and also by drugs of abuse.
The cerebral cortex is divided into areas that control specific functions. Different areas process information from our senses, enabling us to see, feel, hear, and taste. The front part of the cortex, the frontal cortex or forebrain, is the thinking center of the brain; it powers our ability to think, plan, solve problems, and make decisions.
So, just think about what happens when drug use rewires the reward system of the brain and then these reward sensations interact with the cerebral cortex. Once addicted, a vicious loop is wired between the limbic system and the cerebral cortex. This manifests itself in behavior such as obsessing over the drug, how to get it and using. This involves behavior such as lying, isolation and indifference to anyone and anything but the drug of choice.
Many in this thread have basically alluded to their drug use as recreational and they can choose to stop whenever they want. Indeed, that may be the case, but if this disease is truly genetic and even using once "lights the fuse" of addiction, do you really want to take the chance? From someone who has experienced first hand what addiction can do to a person and the family/friends around them, I can honestly say that if you have lived that hell, you would not want to take the chance.
