I know at least a few frequenters of DF smoke their heroin as I do. All the advice I've read has said to smoke it on the dull side. The only reason I've seen given for this is that the shiny side has a coating. I decided to look into this, and it would seem the shiny side doesn't actually have anything on it.

A few years ago, during the height of my meth use, I undertook one of the most trying, meth induced challenges of my life. It was part art and partly because I had just shot an armadillo that had burrowed into my basement while I was living in Arizona.

Fuck Fentanyl

On June 11th at around 3:30 my cousin was found cold and stiff by one of his best friends. For days we all wondered if it was a suicide or an accident, until yesterday morning when I heard that he died from fent laced percs. Although its reassuring to know he didn't do this on purpose, it makes me so mad that people lace shit with fentanyl.

Lost my third brother today

Like the title says. I lost my third brother today. I have 6 younger siblings. 3 half brothers, a half sister and two brother in laws.

RIP BlueXanzCan

I wanted to let you guys know because he posted alot in here and all the other similar opiate communities on here. He was one of my best friends irl and I hadn't heard from him since early March and did not worry much at first because he was planning on going to rehab..

I think I fuckin did the damn thing

I’m 23 male been on fent pressed 30s everyday all day for 7 months. Never thought it would end any other way besides rehab. I said fuck it I’ll try myself, day 12 clean now and I feel like myself again and have 0 desire to pick up again because of the hell it put me thru.

The fentanyl gods think shits sweet

It's been 29 days today since I did fent 30s and my plug calls me at 6 am today saying he's giving all his custys a free 30 cuz he was mia for a week and mannn that shit is a bitch because I have spent the entire day trying to convince myself that I could just get the 30 and sell it but I know damn well once that mother fucker is in front of me I'm gonna chop it up into quarters and have a goddamn field day.

Opioids give me quality of life back

I’m on oxycodone for intractable pain, and without it i’d be bed ridden and suffering debilitating pain. Intractable pain is different from chronic pain. It is excruciating, constant, and most importantly incurable pain.

About to go from 12 pressed blues a day to nothing

Wish me luck. Money ran out unexpectedly and I can’t buy more for a week. I haven’t been sober for that long in over a year. Cleaning my toilet now cause I know I’m gonna be hugging it soon.
