How much would it take for you to try heroin?

c_man

Ok AH, they say everyone has has their price, and I want to you know what's yours? How much cash would it take for you to take what would be considered a decent amount?

I know we were educated that it's one hit and you're addicted, but that's bull in fairness.

I think E20,000 seems about right for me.

Oryx

Not for anyone's money.

GenieOz

I'd do it for free.

One hit and addicted is complete bull so I'd like to try the experience.

Frosty McSnowballs

No amount of money. Maybe a terminal illness.

bop1977

One million dollars

We can trade in whatever you want.

Jimminism

I would seriously do it for free if it came from a decent source.

Vito Corleone

For free, I wouldn't mind trying it. The whole thing about it being addictive the first time you take it is merely anti drug propaganda.

Temptamperu

Ha!

Stereomaniac

In the past I would have paid to do it. Nowadays, no money, I have been in recovery for 3 years.

oh, 'bout 0.2 of a gram

Haven lived in an apartment complex in inner city dublin for a few years it really is the worst drug considering the customers who are targeted. Dealers / suppliers deserve execution

Ok.

I would have sex with Charlize Theron to try heroin. Honestly can't see any downsides to that.

Addicts have told me it is not addictive from the first hit, but it is a.m.a.z.i.n.g like to warmest nicest feeling ever and you spend the rest of your life trying to find the feeling again. that is the addiction.

happypants

If I got the news I was terminally ill with something extremely painful id try it. I'd spend my last few days hanging around o Connell street centra or goofing off down the back of the 27 bus. Actually come to think of it the pain relief the hospital would give me would probably be opium based anyway so no need....

You could not pay me any amount of money to try it.

Cold turkey sounds easy, until you check out how many have died going cold turkey. Also, you may never feel "normal" again, without it. This is one reason why so many keep taking it.

A 100% guarantee that I'd be dead in a few weeks even if I didn't.

To be truly effective, a good narcotics agent must know and love narcotics. In fact, a good narcotics agent should have narcotics in his blood.

Come on man its a commodity like every other drug. Real life is not like grange hill. Its cool now everyone's fine with it.

Doyler92

For the way most people carry on nowadays , I think the question should be "How much for you to give up the heroin?"

That applies to people who have taken it over long periods, where their bodies have come to expect the drug. Not relevant for someone who has taken it for the first time

January

Having seen numerous people die from heroin addiction, no amount of money in the world would make me try it.

Flippyfloppy

It would cost my life, family, job, all my life savings, my house, my health my dignity.

So no amount would persuade me. It would just go right back into hands of the dealers like?!

newbie2013

100mill and I'd defo take it. I don't have an addictive streak so I'd be ok IMO

Halloween Jack

Tried it once, strong stuff, was enjoyable to an extent but I threw up a lot. Apparently that's a common enough experience for a first timer.


That was ten years ago and I've never once got the inkling to go again.

You can't die during cold turkey.

Heroin tickles.

Holsten

I'd do it for free.

Either of these extremes are what I'd be afraid of, so I probably wouldn't (maybe if I became a multi-millionaire I would, so... I wouldn't. ).

Spunge

Yeah its probably scary that after you first try it, you dont tihnk its a big deal anymore.... so you try it a few weeks later, etc etc. I assume thats how it goes down.

Why do you make having sex with Charlize Theron sound like a bad thing?

thats why opiates are used in medicine as a sedative and pain reliever, they are found as natural products in the opium poppy, same as heroin.

most addicts I've met want to get clean - getting clean is nearly the easy bit - the hard bit is staying clean - something like 95% relapse - so if its the first , second or 100th hit that gets you addicted why risk become a slave to a drug that will ultimately take everything, including your humanity & probably your life & all your dignity, as we see on our streets so regularly today

If I ever make it to 90 years of age I'm taking it up, on my 90th birthday. Its gotta be an absolutely brilliant buzz if people ruin their lives to such an extent to keep doing it. From a physical harm point of view it is an extremely retarded drug to take, at age 90 I figure I wont have much to loose...

I feel better knowing the experts at Boards seem to know all about addictive drugs and how easy they are to get over.

Mr Blobby

Na, wouldn't touch Heroin.
More of a Quaaludes man myself..

RDM_83 again

Honestly I would say around 5 grand.

I know that sounds very low and I am typing this with a fag in my hand but taking into count I am no expert on addiction and I haven;t tried that many drugs really but everything I have kept doing is because I am around people that its acceptable to.
I just don't think one huge dopamine rush would do it in terms of long term addiction even though i can understand how with multiple use it could completely fcuk you.
I am putting this in the proviso that your in a good mental state and have a healthy outlook on life I would presume heroin is self-selective to an extent these days since there is such a huge taboo around it even among the 'drug taking classes'

No way would I inject that stuff into me.

Crystal Meth seems to be worse though, saw an article on how it affected people, made their skin all pock marked and rotted their teeth.
