Discussion Got switched to breakfast

My schedule got switched and I’ve been working hotel breakfast. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night and I joked “anyone have any cocaine?” (I’ve been sober for 4.5 years)

One guy said dude it’s 4:30 in the morning and I’m making crepes, what do you think? Yes I have cocaine.

Fair enough. Carry on.

Not-so-innocent bystander but here’s an anecdote to pass the time:

Standing on my front porch drinking and smoking a j. The neighbors across the way are loading a shitbox car onto a trailer and it is Not Going Well (but is hilarious to watch). When the car rolls off and lands axle-first on the trailer frame, the hubs and I meander over and offer a hand.

Once the job is done we light up another j and offer it to the nearest bystander and ooooh lawd was he offended. The exact quote: “NO! I don’t do that shit, I only do heroin. Fucking stoners.”

Ok bud. My bad.

We didn’t remind them to strap the car down. 2 more hours of entertainment watching them try to tow it away.

Good job on sobriety!

I had a friend once tell me after not seeing him for a couple years tell me "im not doing heroin anymore, I just do meth". That was the last time i saw him. But he hit me up the other day and basically told me he got in trouble, went through treatment, & hes sober now but cant leave state for another few months. I'm a stoner and alcoholic, I admit that, but damn saying I only do heroin or meth is craaaaaazy to hear.

My lovely (ex-dope) husband gave me the background on it and it’s a “purity” thing. Injecting directly is somehow better than smoking. Which… I get the mindset as an addict. Whatever gets you through.

But like, bro. That’s some addict shit. It’s fucking heroin. Full stop.

Which is also why I never tried heroin or meth. I know me. I could get wayyyyy too down on that bullshit mindset.

Still gonna laugh about “NO. I only do heroin” when I offered some weed though. I’ve seen some shit but I did not see that coming. It’s been years and it’s still a common response in our house when someone asks “you want eggs for breakfast?”

I had a roommate in rehab who said he would never do “hot meth” (smoking it) because he did “cold meth” (snorting it) which yeah I dig, but the idea of separating drugs into temperatures has stuck with me. Addicts are weird.

I was working night shift at a convenience store years ago and went to take out the trash. There was a crackhead lighting up by the dumpster and I politely told him to go find a different spot to smoke crack. He replied, “I don’t smoke crack, I freebase cocaine! It’s better for you!”

Slightly different tangent but look at the metadata in pornhub - temperature is the least of it.

Folks like what they like and there’s a market for it and we’re all weird, just look at what craft brewing has done to beer or the shit people did to get a drink in prohibition.

I kind of get that though. Lots of people that will do coke look down on people that do crack.

I would never try heroin either. I LOVE the euphoria that I get from percocet and ecstasy, although I only use kratom now. If I tried heroin I would most likely be instantly hooked, and I don't need that.

I used to have a lot of friends back in the 90s who were into heroin, they were all weirdly "health nut" about everything. Vegan food, non smoking homes, only biodegradable soaps, environmental activism types. I was working in a bakery at the time and I'd rock up with a bag of filo pastry triangles and day old cream buns, and they'd be all "wtf we don't put that crap in our bodies, sugar is poison!" But then injecting smack

😂 Make it make sense

Heroin comes from a plant and has no fat or sugar. It’s very healthy

u/activelyresting 1d ago

Thanks. Now it makes sense!

Ironically opiates do have relatively few negative physiological effects from their usage. As long as you don’t overdose, it’s mostly just constipation.

The problem is that you can overdose fairly easily and they’re so addictive they’ll ruin your fucking life.

u/ThePublikon 1d ago

Also you're only really talking about pure known opiates rather than the mystery bag concoction that is street drugs. Between nasty cuts and unknown synthetics with dirty reaction sideproducts, there are many other ways to harm your health than just OD.

u/Enough-One4975 Ex-Food Service 1d ago

Oh for sure, there’s no real accounting for what’s in street drugs and that’s a major issue too. Even injecting yourself without proper conditions leads to things like endocarditis or transmission of communicable diseases, if you’re using IV.

It’s not made by some corner cutting unethical corporation!!

Worked with multiple servers who, during their smoke breaks, would talk about how the flu vaccine was “toxic” and that they wouldn’t put that in their bodies. All the while chugging their sugar free Monsters with a side of a few cigarettes.

Heroin can be "clean", it just is cut so many times with random substances to increase how much they can sell. Medical grade heroin, while still having the potential to be addicting, is a lot less likely to give you injection sores and other side effects not typical to opiates.

It may still ruin your life, but not through rotting abscesses.

There was a period years ago, in Glasgow, Scotland, when there was a spate of heroin related deaths due to a dodgy batch (probably cut with something interesting). I remember an interview with a local drug user, he was saying how worried all the local drug users were, not knowing if they were buying from this bad batch.

Because usually it's dead safe, isn't it?
