Any Americans here affected by the heroin epidemic?

Supposedly ICE is the epidemic here in Aus.

tfw walking around last night and random people ask me if I'm on ice, it must be pretty common if people would just ask that

Yes it is bad anywhere there is a main highway from Mexico Utah fag here.

Done CPR a couple times on guys who OD'd. (MD here)

why is there a leaf on that pic?

Been clean for about 9 months, it's not so much a heroin epidemic as an opiate epidemic. Perscription pills make up a large portion of opiate abuse, especially amongst adults (30+)

Heroin abuse is mostly 15-28 year olds who have to go street shopping after their parents put a lock on the medicine cabinet.

The heroin in Austin, Texas is fucking horrible though, that's the main reason I quit. Cut to all hell and tastes like shit.

Nope I am smart enough not to have anything to do with people that use heavy drugs. People like that will do nothing but ruin their lives and the lives of those around them.

feels good tho, u chicken or sumthin?

I lost a loved one to it.
Since then I have had a burning hatred for drug dealers. I'll never forgive or forget

The 80s in Spain was a nightmare with the fucking heroin. I actually believe this was used to destroy the strong values that spanish people had. We used to be a society with a strong family sense, the old people was respected, virtually no delinquency, believer, hard working... But after the 80s all of this was gradually destroyed with junkies everywhere, rampant delinquency, broken families... until the 90s when we were more like Europe. Is fucking sad, and I really believe it was used for political reasons, with a society like themone in the 60s and 70s Spain would never got into NATO and EU.

No I'm just not so pathetic and lacking in impulse control that I need to shoot poison into my body to feel alive. Druggies bring no value to society or the lives of those around them. If you are so intent on killing yourself please just get it over with.

>heroin epidemic

more like dealers out on parole epidemic

>Wake up
>Leave my apartment, step over a few dozen dead junkies on the way to my car
>Confronted at a stop light along the way to work by a man begging for change
>Get to work, avoid a few used needles on the way to my building.
>Coworkers talking about their children possibly using heroin.
>Get home, avoiding a few hundred more used needles
>Lay in bed
>Pull the covers up to my chin, nestling in, trying to forget the hell I'm in.
>"Oh shit"
>Reach down to find a used needle that plunged into my ass as I sat in bed
>Now I'm a heroin

Welcome to New Hampshire.

I'm a heroin addict.

I used to be addicted to pain pills.
5-8 years, took oxy, vicoden, tramadol, morphine, ect... Finally I found Kratom online and weened myself off everything and stopped filling scripts.

Ive had the opportunity for heroin and turned it down, same with injecting pain pill solution.

Worst thing I ever did was drop morphine drops into my eyes over and over in a weeks time.

NOW no degeneracy for me, after a 20+ pill per day habit and no criminal record.

I was a functional addict.

And now I do lifting and yoga for my pain. I refuse all meds.

I live in Massachusetts in a city called Lawrence where it's a genuine epidemic.
It's our biggest problem, by far, I've lost three friends in the past two years and maybe 10-12 acquaintances and one of my best friends is now a junkie. Fuck heroin.

If your dumb enough to take that shit you deserve it

Have you been affected by the Muslim Epidemic?

Right now I'm a 3 years no pills I might add.

It's also real bad in New Hampshire, especially in Manchester

Nfi but I think Aus needs to start getting tougher on crime and vilifying criminals. Also cut down on diversity affirmative action hires for the police force.

Then get clean or OD in an ally someplace and do the world a favor.

yes. lost a good friend and my brother to overdose. watched countless people diminish and fade away into the oblivion of addiction as well.

People addicted to Opioids and heroin need to look into Kratom.

It can save your life and it's not illegal as far as I know, make tea out of it. You have to want to quit, and if you mix Kratom with drugs ur gonna be fucked because it will be stronger then heroin.

My cousin became addicted about the time her son turned one. She's lived under a bridge or something ever since and OD'd 3-4 times that her family is aware of. I don't really care tbqh.

>in an ally
>ally
smdhtbhfam

Yup, my younger brother is a hardcore addict and compulsive liar that steals from everyone and manipulates my parents. He even stole and sold my mom's wedding band, which had been blessed by a priest. My parents blamed me or my sister until they found out it was him and just dropped it... They're always in denial and make excuses for him no matter what he does. Worst moment was finding him passed out, od'd in his room one day. I called 911 and provided basic care while my mom had a hysterical bitch fit in the background and made the situation more stressful. I revived him and the second he woke up he acted like an asshole again... Never said thank you and stole my ps4 like a month later. My single biggest regret is saving his life and not just letting him die there.

You should do the world a big favor and kill yourself as well, seeing as how you can't even spell alley right you bumbling retard

Kek, now im a heroine
Tits or gtfo or dudint habben

Heroin addict and long time Sup Forumsack here.


I would have gotten addicted anyway and i started with pills from friends parents etc. I actually took years till i found heroin but yea it is very easy to get now

So i gues im affected in that i have more access to heroin but id have gotten into opiates anyway.

It's bad on the east coast too from New Jersey to Philadelphia, which is epicenter, and Baltimore...and to the mountains west.

I've know a few people who died. For the most part they were just stupid and made a terrible choice when they were young.

Did you steel anything of value from your whole senpai like my brother did?

Girlfriend is a heroin addict, it's retarded, she's retarded

I used to do heroin all the time.

Then I stopped.

It's literally that easy, unless you're a weakling

God bless you user, may you never stray from the path you now walk.

Speed is my drug.
When I say speed I mean riding my motorcycle, shit's fun.
Find a hobby and you'll become less degenerate.

What's wrong with heroine?

It makes people happy

Most women are retarded.

But still dependent on Kratom?

Surely you will repeat the cycle of withdrawal all over again.

I'm scared of needles so I don't think I'd make for a very good heroin addict.

I don't even know one person that does it. Is it just not present in Florida? Before you say anything, don't know any coke heads either.

ban naloxone, let darwin do his work.

I have a friend that shoots heroine.
He is a normal guy but whenever he prepares that shit is a bit unnerving. However he looks like he's having a great time afterwards, he says is the most relaxing thing he has found.

Since I'm going through a lot of shit lately, I can't even sleep properly, seeing him made me wonder if I could try it to see if it helps me to relax.
What is it like?

NHfag here, it fucking gutted Rochester. I worked there for years so I got to watch the slow decay up close. Living in a better area now but it's pretty depressing going back.

Bought a couch there at the Kmart that gave me my first job and my gf almost stepped on a heroine needle in the parking lot. Rochester PD makes constant drug busts and grabs dealers all the fucking time, but I don't think it's making a dent.

10/10 despair

I bought a bicycle and just riding it whenever I needed to drink managed to get me through the worst of the withdrawal

how do you guys start taking this shit in the first place? surely you know the consequences? needed pills for a chronic pain condition years ago but backed away as i felt myself getting addicted.

I used to smoke a lot of weed and do psychedelics every once in a while. Through hanging out with those social circles

Despite hanging around in those social circles I've never seen heroin. The only time I've even hear of it in real life is of a friend who has a coworker who used to do it but got clean.

I think Heroin is mostly a poor people problem. I always hung out with upper class kids that went to a good university so that may be why.

Im plannin on getting a ninja or something akin for on way to work ride.
Hopefully can find something decent for 1-4k
Any tips on what to look for that might be fucked.
Never rode a st bike, only dirt
Also wont get license for a while until l8r

I did heroin a few times and didn't see what the big deal was. Never injected through.

Florida here, same. Don't think its very popular here.

Cocaine is present here though

That's really sad, but at least you know you understand you were born a failure.

Knew a couple of people who died from OD. It's a nasty drug and withdrawals are neatly the same as alcohol.

The pillbillies around here are too stupid to switch to heroin they stick with their prescription opiates. I live in eastern TN and prescription painkiller abuse is huge.

I can't tell you what heroin is like, but I'll tell you I wouldn't touch that shit with a 20 meter pole.

You can snort it but you need a lot of cash to make it possible to be a hardcore addict without shooting
Feels great, will completely ruin your life if you're using it to escape "shit going on in your life" like you say

I was always kind of on the fence about whether or not heroin should be on my not even once list. I guess thankfully it wasn't so easily available back when I would have tried it.

It seems to be pretty much the death knell for people who graduate up the opium addiction ladder, based on people I've known in the past.

Fug
Well, itll makeg you habby :DDDD

it's because the heroin is used by the alphabet soup to fund their independent ops, they bust the dealers but keep distributing the product

France used to do the same thing with the opium from Indochina that the U.S. tried to steal from us by ganging up with the commies and then trying to take over Vietnam.

2001 is the year America arrived and took the crops over in Afghanistan.
Notice the massive production increase afterwards.

The War on Drugs is a much larger problem than the drugs themselves.

"Affected by the heroin epidemic?" Are you serious? Nobody is "affected by the heroin epidemic," they are either affected by their own horrible choices or the horrible choices of those around them. Heroin isn't a disease it's the must publicly demonized substance in recent history with well-documented harms and those who use and abuse it have only themselves to blame. Take responsibility for your own actions and demand that others do the same. Shame is the greatest deterrent.

I'm not affected, nor is anyone I know personally.

However, I'm a pharmacist and I understand exactly why this has happened. You wouldn't believe how over-prescribed opioids are. Doctors hand out that shit like candy to anyone with a stubbed toe or boo-boo. And it's no joke that this shit is addictive. One thing leads to another, and next thing you know, people are shooting up heroin. It's not like people are just choosing on their own to start shooting up from the get-go. It's typically a slow progression stemming from what started as legitimately-prescribed painkillers.

The fact that our culture has become so accepting of drugs and drug culture (and libcucks said there wouldn't be a slippery slope from marijuana acceptance in our society) doesn't help.

Luckily the CDC just released new guidelines that can be summed up as "hey, stop fucking prescribing this shit to everyone" so hopefully that helps slowly stem the tide.

My brother was a junkie. He was prescribed too much oxy after surgery, got hooked, started buying pills on the street and when he couldn't get them he switched to heroin because it was cheaper/easier to find. Apparently this is a pretty common way for this to happen

Don't believe anyone who says you're fucked if you try it once. I've tried it on 3 separate occasions and was able to not do it again easily.
It's sort of like all your problems melt away, I guess. Time just drifts past you, you're living in a sigh on a lazy river. So when the comedown happens, all the problems you forgot come back even harder. I think that's where the addiction really comes from.

If you're gonna do it, it's vital that you let your friend know it's a one time thing. You might even have to ignore him for a bit. Addicts always want a partner, don't let that happen.

I think heroine and steroids are the worst. Heroine in some form is just so common because of painkillers and steroids literally makes you snap and murder your family and self.

Keep goingg....

yeah i live in an upper middle class suburb of NYC, since graduating high school ( 04 ) I've been to at least 1 funeral a year of friends that have OD on super pure heroin

just last month a real close friend of mine , like family close, we played together as kids and now our kids play together, got caught up in a Heroin sting and is going to be imprisoned for the next 5 years. With heroin sometimes you can't tell who is a junkie and who is not; i thought this guy was clean going on 5 years but he never actually stopped and now hes going to jail and losing his wife/family over it.

Its bad Klaus really fucking bad

I don't know, but I'm stoned outta my mind right now.

Nah. 20 10 bucks or so here and there.

Well I work in a hospital so technically yes?

NC fag here, every small town I've ever lived in is full of heroin to the point that I'd rather live anywhere but here

Nope

Shut your fucking face. The only people I hear say that are 16 year old libshits who've never dealt with people who have crippling drug addictions.

And Memphis reporting in here:
THERES FUCKIN HEROIN EVERYWHERE. I know two people that died pathetic deaths from that shit personally. SEND HELP. Or nuke us. It doesn't really matter in this shithole town anymore.

jesus m8

Typical cancuck

I'm on it right now. I snort it and it gives me energy and euphoria
>inb4 fedora or degenerate

Don't keep at it. A month of just snorting was enough for me to realize I was getting addicted and I felt like absolute shit for a week straight when I stopped.

meth is more popular than heroin and prescription drugs beat meth. so xanax is more used than heroin

When I lived in the USA, a friend of a friend who went to my high school in Texas got into heroin. Those were back in the days when Mexicans flooded us with black tar heroin and half of Plano started using.

He tried to rob an armored car and fucked up. Last I heard he survived and was doing 45 years. Of course all of us were lower middle class/working class. No money. No rehab. No mercy.

>Never injected

Found the problem

I've been doing it for about a year now. Before that it was 30s for a few years. Before that Percocet. I have suboxone on deck for when I stop

They need a diff approach for sure.
Start with legalizing and taxing dope.
Boom, cartels take a huge lose.
Then decriminalize all drugs and reallocate the funds used to prosecute to actually helping make degenerate scum into productive members of society you wont have to pay a mill a year to house them in prison each.
Well go from a country with highest amount of prisoners to being debt free in 10 years.

we should toss alcoholics in jail too right?

Weird, here in bananaland we don't heroine as a huge problem.

Poorfags just use crack and richfags weed/cocaine.

>heroin epidemic
>or warning of any drug in general
>always include picture of weed, one of the least toxic drugs know to man

top kek

best of luck m8 I'd start on the subs before you start injecting though just to be safe

I wouldn't go with full legalization but decriminalization would be useful, throwing these people in jail so by the time they get out they're in an even worse place and immediately start using again isn't helping

>Feels good maaaan

Dump

Damn.
Sounds EXACTLY like my lityle brother! He even went to jail for like 6 months and the day he got out he ods at my gmas house, my 8month preg sister had to come by my gmas house at like 2am cause the dogs woke her and do cpr on his dumb ass.
Hes stole my wed ring twice, a shit tonne from everyone including my gma

Hows it feel knowing she probably fucks her dealer for free H?

Orange County California here. It's insane how many people shoot up in some of the most affluent parts of the country. I had a friend die last week to an accidental overdose. Shit needs to stop.

>inb4 faggot

My hometown is next to one of the entry points. It's a huge problem here. We are also one of the wealthiest and whitest cities in the state. In my high school years we had 10 deaths

Yea i used to beat myself up about it and contemplate suicide alot. now i just try to imagine it as a ball and chain and live as good a life as i can despite my affliction.

I am Catholic and do my best not to be a scumbag for my fix but it's not easy.

I prefer the measures they took in some Asian countries. If you are caught doing hard drugs they execute you. Saves the world a problem and the state the money they will waste trying to turn them back into functional members of society. If the information out there is not enough to convince you to not do hard drugs your already to arrogant, stubborn, and stupid to be of any value.

>Druggies bring no value to society

You have TV? You ever seen successful people? Ever been to live concert listening to musician? They ALL do coke.

I don't see myself being able to inject myself. Now, I'm not naive and I'm sure many before me have said the same. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It really is a devil of a drug. Best feeling in the world but you pay the cost many times over for it in the end.

I'm an on again off again dissociatives addict. I'll never understand why dissociatives aren't more popular. Shit is way easier to get clean off, way more enjoyable, rids you of depression for at least a while, days after the effects wear off even, most of them are legal, not many ODs. The only drawback is bladder problems when you do too much. I figure if I spend more time clean than using I reduce my chances for that.

>Dating a heroin addict

For what purpose? All addicts are sluts

Kratom is fucking disgusting. How can you take that garbage?
