Snorting Heroin Leads To The Needle / Educational PSA Video
Snorting Heroin Leads To The Needle / Educational PSA Video. Public Service Announcement in the public domain. Heroin (Diacetylmorphine) Information: Heroin is the common name of a substance known by the chemical name, diacetylmorphine. Heroin is synthesized from morphine, and morphine is synthesized from opium produced by the plant known by the botanical name Papaver Somniferum (common name opium poppy). Rather than being a different drug, heroin is a method of preparing morphine so that it is absorbed more efficiently by the human body, when injected. If heroin is injected into a human, more morphine will reach the brain than it would if the same amount of morphine were injected. Injecting about 5mg of heroin will produce the same results as injecting 10mg of morphine. Heroin can also be snorted, smoked, or taken orally. However, these other routes of administration are not recommended. They are not as efficient and most of the drug is wasted. If you are not going to inject heroin, an equal amount of morphine will produce similar results. When it is not injected, the heroin is usually totally metabolized by the human body before it can affect the amount of morphine that reaches the brain. So the effects of heroin are nearly the same as an equivalent amount of morphine when snorted, smoked, or taken orally. The time it takes to feel the effects depends on the method of administration. Snorting heroin results in onset within 10-15 minutes. Smoking heroin results in an …

I had only read about this ad in a magazine– I never saw it before. Rosary, thank you very much for posting! Where did you get it–or where did you live that you taped it from air?

Don;t sweat ferrie, prman is obviously a douchbag trying to get a rise out of you. People who don’t have serious pain issues can’t possibly comprehend how much constanr pain debilitates the sufferer, so don’t expect a douche-bag to.
On a side note:
Prman, go fuck yo mama, you bitch!

I don’t understand the label of ‘dope head’ when I take pain meds for intestinal and bone cancer? I would ask that you reread my 2 messages. I was honest, upfront, and shared one of my greatest fears. Why would you condemn me for that? Are you a Scientologist which would explain so much or suffer from a Borderline PD? You might think of what it’s like to walk in one’s shoes b4 labeling them unjustly. I am sorry 4 people like you, purposefully judgmental and cruel, close minded. Plain mean.

a word to the wise, avoid methadone, best thing is to reduce with the H, mathadone takes forever to get off unless u do a 2 week fast reduction then u dont get hooked on the methadone.
I used to IV it until I was poisoned; felt it burn up my arm, it got to my chest then the next thing I knew I was being slapped by ambulance crew and told to wake up!

All the gear i get is light brown….I have heard of people getting white heron but never come across any myself….i have tried smoking it but I found it never really did anything, & then after the 5th/6th smoke, it would just HIT me big time. Like I said before, I prefer to snort it whilst drinking….got it down to twice a week, which is alot better as I used to be doing it every 2 days. The next step is to get it down to once a week…

If I didn’t take it, I would have to stay in all the time and couldn’t function. At least now, I can function albeit sometimes very tired and fuzzy. I have thought of going off, but the thought of detox it terrifying. I am a sw have seen detox from opiates. Also, only 1 med is out there which might help but is over 5k per month which ins does not pay and if it didn’t work the detox would be for nothing! I will stick with this, knowing I’m dependent but not abusing. I empathize with other author.

continued…plus, they did not want to give me more mprphone so they now give me 32 mgs of dilaudid with the morphine and something called hydroxyzine which I am told makes it all work better, more effective. I saw a pain specialist and he felt that when balancing what my life would be without the opiates, it would be better to live with the dependence I now have, then live with the effects of the illness I have and if I had to choose, I would agree.

my story similar to yours. Had an intestinal problem that nothing worked on, or if it did, was for a short period like tinture of opium. Also was painful. docs put me on percocet for awhile until my Rx talked to doc because of the aspirin in percocet. They opted for morphine. At the beginning, I was high as a kite, now, 9 years later, I get tired, not stoned. Increased amount every year as tolerance grows so I am up to 800 mgs a day.

(cont2.) Now if I “kick” the Oxy I return to being chronically ill and will wind up unemployed and bankrupt with medical bills. What choices do I have? Again, I NEVER use Oxy to get high, but am dependant on it to stay feeling healthy. It’s depressing…
For the Love of God NEVER take Oxy, or any other opiates if you are healthy. They are no joke and WILL get you hooked! I don’t understand why a healthy person would ever take Opiates, but admittedly their effect is overwhelmingly nice..

(cont.) When attacks became more frequent I was missing work AND going broke w/Hospital bills. I could treat attacks at home if I could obtain morphine (since that’s all hospital did anyway…). I purchased a small amount of Oxycontin and when attack came on I would snort about 30mg. I couldn’t eat them due to vomiting. As attacks became more frequent, so did the Oxy use. After about a year I became Oxy dependant. Even though I NEVER use Oxy to get high it led to addiction. I’m stuck…

My Story: In my early 40′s I was diagnosed with a rare intestinal disorder, that was brought on by the brain center that causes migraine head aches. During my chronic intestinal spasm/attacks I would vomit continuously for 15 to 18 hours. Doctor wanted me to go to ER everytime I had an attack so I did, and wound up admitted to hospital, and even ICU several times a year. Only treatment was morphine drip and IV fluids. Each trip to hospital cost me $1000+ in spite of insurance. (cont.)

Of course there’s risks attached to using heroin, but the tag line of this ad gives *totally* the wrong message about the relative risk of snorting… injecting drugs is far far more dangerous than snorting them, because there’s much greater risk of overdose and risk of catching blood borne viruses such as hepatitis C.

I don’t know why he isn’t happy, then! It’s like those giant checks for junkies!
July 27th, 2010 at 2:04 am
wow….thats one trippy advert. Me personally, i snort tha shit, but I doubt I would ever do the needle cause I hate the fuckers……
But for anyone thinking of trying heron, don’t. It will zap the life/spirit/energy out of you. Plans I had are now distant hazy memories…..

Robospace you fucking ass wipe, whatever way you want to try and convince youself that theres nothing wrong doing what your doing you just do that and keep living in denial, but for people like myself whos also had 1st hand experince with the stuff we know that its a dirty, scummy, sickening way of life that leads to addiction then lies then robbing then not giving a fuck about yourself, family, friends or anything else as long as you have your hit. keep trying to convince yourself jackass.
