I know this is a controversial subject, but that's because alot of people who use herion also use other drugs and alcohol which can age them rapidly. I haven't used herion in 10 years, but lately I've ran into a few prostitutes and strippers who are in there late to mid 20's that look 15 years old there main drug of use and choice is herion, they started usen at around 15 years old but sadly they act like a 15 yrs old in some ways too not all ways. You can google this topic there's alot of threads online about it even drug counselers say it preserves youthful apperance, it somehow slows and stops certain hormones that keep you from aging physically and mentaly what a fucken trip huh?.
its the unhealthy life style that kills the herion addicts.
i know a bunch of people who fucking eat one slice of toast and a coffee per day, injection of herion and look like ghosts!!......they don't last long
i used to wash a guys car for money for a fix and the guy was a family working man with a nice house etc etc in a nice nieboirhood and good family and i found out by his ghostly looking nephew that he was a full blown addict and has been for 40 years ( he is 60 ) ........ Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth if you were to look at him .
he injects everyday first thing in the bathroom then goes eats breakfast with his family....... Continues with his healthy life stlye like he has for the past 40 years .
strange but true ............. Its the inside of his body which may look alittle fucked or not ??? Idk
