Young turning to 'cheaper' heroin

Former Member

Found this on the BBC.

I found it disturbing. Mainly because I find it perfectly feasible. A family friends younger sister also recently started smoking smack, and it was around the time the weed was really really dry...

Could be co-insidence but I don't think so.. still..

I wish they'd just legalise the fucking weed so we can all have a grow and a smoke and chill get on with things..

That is quite worrying.
Prehaps it's an omen of things to come if the government don't sort out the law regarding drugs?

Former Member

There does seem to be a big clamp down on cannabis at the moment (though strangely the government isnt singing about it), but it cant last for long, things will go back to what they used to be soon enough.

As for heroin, well its set to get even cheaper, thanks to our efforts in Afghanistan.

I wouldnt touch Heroin with a barge pole.

How can people see it as a subsidy to weed? Its a completley different thing all together...

Former Member

I was thinking that at first. Unless one is uneducated of heroin? I think people just want to try it. Or even like many people I know they are tricked and/or not told into it, or peer pressure.

I don't think i would ever result to Heroin and i certainly wouldn't use it as a substitute for weed.

There can't be a large amount of people that would use it for that reason.

I wouldn't say it's completely different. Both can be taken to put the user in a calm and relaxed state of mind.

that's very scary

I'm not flaming you or anything, but I find it funny that you are calling it completely different even though you have no experience or intention of using heroin.

Just another interesting BBC heroin article...

Sounds like you all have your hands full

Yes, drug laws do need to be sorted out. But i dont think letting EVERYONE smoke weed willy nilly would be a great idea.

Former Member

ive found this drought a complete cunt and it has made me turn to prescriptions a few times just so i can sleep properly.. so i dont find this surpising really

That sucks.

We're almost living in hell; things that feel so good to us and are desirable are actually terrible for us.
