Makes sense! Weird Ive never done the two at the same time. I've done opium and coke though multiple times. I always felt that was different though for some reason.
That just sounds torcherous.. I mean I've done some crazy stuff, but I never let myself go to a junkie.. Maybe a little with the dxm haha but the heroin never really.. I never liked it to the point where I needed to be on it constantly because it makes me way to lazy and all I do is sleep, then my muscle mass leaves, and I turn extremely unnattractive, pale, sick disgusting.. Just ew. Plus just the fact that it actually costs money. God I just remember my coke days were the BIGGEST waste of money that I regret the most. I'd be like $10,000 dollars richer right now..
Nowadays I'll admit I do do heroin on a fairly regular basis.. I know I'm in the green zone with it, just because of whats happened before.. I just don't get hooked on things all too easy unless they are close to free, and back then the heroin was EVERYWHERE. I could 2 dollar buttons, which were just tiny little pills packed with heroin and whatever the cut was. But once a month maybe a little in between. I'm about to go get some right now I have the worst splitting headache ever. I've been sober except for incense for months, dxm haven't done in a month, heroin since before I got out.. Its fucking time. I'm gonna make him stop by here though Im not fuckin driving.
Oh, I loved it. Still do. I could write a book about how that all came to be, and it would probably even be interesting to other people, too. How and why a person becomes opioid dependent (or addicted to any substance) is quite a bit more complex than your average bear could fathom. What I hate the most is when I hear these elitists or even seemingly 'normal' people say things along the lines of that they "have no sympathy for drug addicts". Let me tell you drug addicts like myself don't want your fucking sympathy. We still pay taxes and contribute to society in positive ways, many even have high paying jobs of importance and families they support the best they can; and what we want, if anything, is to not be stigmatized, treated like scum and imprisoned solely because our choice of substance isn't 'socially acceptable'. And to make matters worse, even cannabis smokers who've experience very much the same kind of stigma and rejection from the whole of society, albeit usually to a lesser degree, still turn around and persecute individuals who use or are addicted to other drugs. Hypocrisy runs rampant, ubiquitously.
The thing is once you've been using [opioids] long enough your normal brain chemistry becomes fundamentally altered. Some even speculate that the anomalies may exist before a potential addict has used at all; they'd call it a genetic predisposition to addiction. Low and behold substance abuse, along with other neurological disorders that go hand in hand with it, does seem to run through families and indeed heroin addiction had presented itself in my family before I was even born (more so alcoholism, though).
After the heavily-sedated dream-like phase subsides and you're an up and coming addict those effects aren't so intense anymore. If you're an IV user maintaining yourself you'll catch a rush at your normal dose, but mostly you're using to feel normal or a little better than. Even if you aren't dope sick; even if you've gotten past the dope sickness, or put on MMT and slowly detoxing, you feel sub-normal. It's called post acute withdrawal syndrome, it comes with depression, anxiety, lack of concentration, increased irritability, loss of interest and zero motivation, and a general sub-normal feeling that persists for too damn long (months).
