Sounds like your mate is on the road to nowhere! If one of my close mates told me this shit i would tell him to keep the fuck out of my face for being weak and even contemplating dabbling with that shit, i would then proceed to kick seven colours of shite out of the thieving bastard (because that's what he'll become) which would hopefully result in him being hospitalised for several weeks which in turn would prevent him from dabbling any further with this evil shit.Whilst in Hospital he could seriously consider his actions. Then make it your business to attend the hospital everyday and batter his head about how much of an R soul he's been for messing with it in the first place.

P.S If he keeps it up lock your doors and windows and hide anything valuable because it will only be a matter of time before he starts thieving and mugging old people to feed his habit.

Hope this helps.

cut off his fingers, if hes got no fingers he cant push the plunger in tha syringe. JK

but seriously, heroine withdrawls arent pretty. have him stay wit you fer a couple days and keep him stoned. this will help the nausea and keep up good sperits. after a couple days hell start to fiend weed instead of heroin. get him to stop as soon as possible cause every mainline its harder to quit.


good luck bro

Wacky you are an asshole. "hope this helps"? How the hell was your post in any way helpful?

Well geof, your friend is hardly addicted to heroin having tried it 4 times although it certainly seems he could become addicted if he's not making any effort to regulate his usage.

There are lots of people who use heroin without getting addicted but I'd still say your friend is in danger.

Just explain to him your feelings and don't be afriad if you think it could ruin your friendship. Your friendship won't be worth shit if he becomed an addict so you've nothing to loose.

Educate yourself before you try to educate your mate, he won't listen to you if you don't know what you're saying and chat loads of BS. Remember that most people don't know shit about drugs (even people on these boards), erowid.org is a good place to start.

Hope this helps.

u mite sound like a loser for doin this but, tell somebody in his family or summit, and try stop him before he becomes hooked, i know what scag heads are like, all the junkies in my town are dodgy fuks and no body wants to know them, and my town has the largest number of drug addicts per capital in the country(UK) apparently so i have lots of encounters with these fuk ups!

my brother was addicted to heroin for a long time, but he got of it himself, IMO theres nothing u can do, its all up to your friend to quit

[smokey]

if ur friend does not want to quit then there isnt much u can do but voice ur concerns to him like spleefer says its upto him and him only

when there's serious trouble ahead, take serious action. i agree with king cola especially if you are in school yet go right to his parents. if your good enough friends fwith him then When he is clean he will realize that the "betrayal of trust" was nessisary(sp). if you are both adults then you should feel comfortable in talking to him. tell him he can crash at your place while he comes down. offer him all you can and if he don't listen then go talk to his family. he is the one who admitted the problem to you he's asking for your help and support. he may hate for a while if you can get him help but it won't be long because when he gets back to normal you can catch up with him and say well you told me about it and i got worried if you whadn't been worried yourself you wouldn't have told me.

oops, i wasn't done.


you have to a least TRY to help. you don't want to find out 20 years down the road that he ODed and you didn't even try to help, do you?

I was taking the piss you fuckwit!

Believe me smackheads are the scum of the earth, i should know the area i live in is choca block with them at the minute and all though i wasn't being serious with the majority of my post there is a few harsh realitys being spelt out at the same time and drastic action has to be taken if he's to help him in anyway. I wasn't joking about giving him a switching.

I think you've been living in your bong to long if you couldn't see i was taking the piss, laugh it's one of the very few things you get for nothing.
