depends how you quantify it though, as a ratio of users to harm I am not so sure *shrugs*
less deaths with heroin than alcohol per year,
less hospital admissions for physical side effects (generally poor injection technique or what its mixed with being a contaminent)
and I do even think less police involvement etc, I found all the stats and posted them in another thread a good few years ago.
And ratio to users – maybe – but the fact is alcohol is more widley used and causes a hell of a lot of damage, particularily to ones physical (and mental health) just look at any hosp on a fri night and how many in are alcohol related, whether it be liver, oesophageal varacacies (?sp), DSH or suicide attempt whilst under the influence, fighting, poisioning etc
but I dont want to get into another discussion about this as I’ve done it many times on other threads
anyway what I wanted to say on this thread is:
we all know the risks, we all make choices in life, and everyone is responsible for their choices –
the facts and stats are out there, do we always listen? do we always make wise choices?
whatever its our decision

The thread stays poly – its instructive for others.
If you are so sure none of us know what we are talking about then by all means carry on sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting so you can’t hear us. You said yourself you knew what response you would get here so its a mystery why you posted this at all.
If you want someone to reinforce your view that smack is not bad you know where those people are – PV members are not those people just in case you were in any doubt.
Excuse me for caring about you – obviously this is unwelcome and I won’t bother wasting my time any further
well said i was thinking exactly the same thing. Why post this shit when you know what people (in general i mean) will say?
I however dont share others points of view on this matter, H doesnt necessarily lead to addiction, only if you let it. I wanna try H some day but im a pussy when it comes to needles, i know i could smoke it but again i hate smoking lol so im pretty well fucked haha
I just want to try most things once in life and this is one of them.
thanks tank girl, obviously the only person to give an answer which wasn’t just trying to go against me completely.
Also i’m still waiting to hear how i’ve been such a cunt and been so wrong in my original post? there’s no point of me making this thread? what sort of damn thread should you make then, there’s no such thing!??
I don’t buy Opiates are evil devil drugs which addict and ruin everyones lives, yeah you may disagree good for you but to call me an arrogant cunt is just plain nasty.
Hello to you too p0ly.
Look at that skag head bum sitting on the side of the road begging, now look at yourself, then look back at the bum. See what i did there?
Just ask yourself is that what you want?

yeah i saw you guessing someone was a smackhead when they could well be an alcoholic crack fiend. so what.
I find this attitude to smack very disturbing poly – I have lost many friends to the stuff. Everyone I ever heard make the starting statement you made in opening this thread became an addict without exception. Some may have taken longer than others but the bottom line is every single one of them is an addict or dead. Have seen a few make a recovery but years of their lives were lost to smack before that happened and their health has suffered as a direct result.
I hope you don’t end up there – it would be nice to say I knew someone who had used it over a longish period without being addicted but I won’t be holding out much hope as all the evidence I have seen personally is against it.
For me smack is in the same group as ketamine and alcohol – all dissociatives abused to numb emotional pain. They are all destructive in long term use and leave you ill-equipped to cope with reality as the rest of the world experiences it. When you use them you disconnect from the world and it turns off all the emotional information which is a normal part of life. When all that comes back on after being turned off for a long period it can be very hard to handle and so people go and take more. It silences your mental noise but the cost to your health can be serious and permanent. Been there, done that, dont recommend it and wouldnt like to see any more friends lost to it. There are less damaging ways of dealing with the mental noise and emotional problems and which don’t rely on external crutches.
Your behaviour when you have taken it is noticeably different btw – I recognised the behaviour before you admitted to having used the stuff on the board. If I can notice it from the other side of a text based communication then be sure others will notice it in real life – the behavioural differences last beyond the buzz wearing off.

Defo agree, and much more eloquently put than my few lines Raj :love:
p0ly – I recon from the sounds of previous posts you seem to take all rug use to the extreme, THC, K etc and you use something on a pretty much daily basis – but prehaps as those substances dont end up with physical addiction you have been able to stop relativley easier? Even though your ‘p0ly detox thread’ sounded tough, and I guess this is why people are expressing more consern?
At the end of the day it sounds as if you have made your mind up with what you intend to do, I just hope whatever the outcome you are as safe as poss (what ever substance you choose to use – just as people expressed consern when you used that hallucinogenic that sounded terrifying) :group_hug
how is it noticeably different then may i ask? shame your friends said the same then got fucked i’m trying to cut down on everything to as little as possible including opiates, but ok i’m going down the pan to smack.

you do seem a tad more defensive and sweary- but this may be because you seem to be having alot of shit going on in your personal life – from what I have gleened from some of your recent posts, so this maybe way? but rugs can alter personalities – so I can see why people may put it down to that too
Its only day 2 of heavy coedine use for pain for me, and as I havent a tollerance yet, i am not likeing the nausea :yakk::yakk:
yeah and that’s cos i have real reason to be pissed off.
I’ve had people i know die from alcohol use in a short period of time yet i don’t bash everyone who says something nice about alcohol or drinks all the time.

Yes, I was guessing this and that life for you is difficult at the mo, and I’m sure I only see 1% of whats going on for you ATM
And ditto, alcohol prob would not get through the drug laws these days and would prob be atleast a class B substance – but the old addage as we have been brought up that it is legal etc etc
but it is a substance like any other and can cause long term ill health, addiction and death
I didn’t say you were going down the pan to it poly; read what I said more carefully ➡
I said I am not going to hold out much hope.
This is not a reflection on you as much as all the other people I have heard say these things. :hopeless: I had thought I made that pretty clear.
The angry reaction when I or someone else says something you don’t want to hear is not going to make me think smack is less dangerous and its also not going to convince me that you aren’t on a slippery slope to a hellish place – quite the opposite. 🙁
I try not to remember how many times people have shouted at me about how their drug of choice is not really that addictive and that they are in control of it not the other way round when I have expressed concern about their drug use. They wanted me to compliment them on their self control when their lives were unravelling around them, their families were suffering and they looked like walking corpses – in short they wanted a yes man.
Disagreement was unwelcome and aggressively objected to then as well – much as I feel you have reacted when pv’ers did not share your opinion.
Never mind a cool and critical discussion of the subject – you ranted that we were all biased and did not know what we were on about.
You did not stop to ascertain what, if any, personal experiences coloured our responses and whether we were victims of media spin as you claimed or had a more intimate knowledge of what you were talking about. What came across was an attitude of ‘I know better than any of you and your opinions don’t count for shit’ – breathtaking arrogance and really a pretty disrespectful attitude generally.
yeah i’m a ‘cunt’
=)
i was bored so made a thread on heroin to which i then get told i’m probably gonna be a smack head, well great in a few months i expect a nice habit and if it’s not here then i’ll come back and ask why.
the thread began saying i’m on the road to nowhere like i’m basing my life around fucking smack which is rubbish, i just tried to say i don’t think it’s as bad as i think and got a bashing for it.
..and you got an answer that didn’t fit you….hmmm

you keep telling yourself that man..
just for the record i never called you a cunt btw i said you where beggining to sound like one.
this thread only puts me off wanting to try opiates even more tbh. after battling with a K habbit for many years i absoloutely agree with you that K is equally (if not in some cases) a worse chemical than diamorphine. it’s just that i have never seen people sell there bodies, all there belongings, and go around spreading diseases and robbing shit to get it. so excuse me for not biggin up’ your posts.
