I’m quite experienced in all manners of drugs, so I know to be cautious when trying new and potentially dangerous substances. The first time I picked up heroin, was through my friend who fell down that road. I couldn’t sleep one night, so I was talking to her about it online after seeing her smoke it in a bathroom stall. We agreed upon a time to meet up the next day, where I’d buy .2 for 20$. I got home, researched how to smoke it, and gave it a try.

The taste was HORRENDOUS, and the high it gave was not very noticeable compared to the sick feeling

. I eventually threw up, but spent the whole day feeling poisoned from what I remember. I said, “F*** this stuff, never again.” Until of course another friend hits me up that he’s selling it now. So I pick up another 20 of it, and try smoking it again with similar results: Feeling mostly dizzy and nauseous, except this time it gave me hiccups as well. I eventually threw up, then sat on the couch and drank water until I felt better. But, I still had a decent amount left over. After looking up some experience reports and then online instruction, I learn how to go about converting the tar into a snortable powder. I break off a small piece of what I have, dissolve in water, microwave, and scrape it up. Here is what follows!

12:12pm – I scraped up the dark brown powder, cut it up with the razorblade, and insufflated through right nostril
12:15pm – Slight sedation is apparent, I can still feel the h in my nose. Minor nausea as well
12:20 – My nose starts to get very runny, so I go to the bathroom when all of a sudden, I taste the drip hit the back of my throat, and at this point, I’m DONE. That is one god awful taste, let me tell you! I blew my nose, and a good amount of brownish residue came out as well, which I’m assuming is the h.

12:27 – I can still feel the body high, to me it’s reminiscent of the purely body high I get from eating strong cannabis edibles, mixed with the lethargy I tend to feel when I first wake up in the morning. Not a whole ton of euphoria, although I am in a rather good mood.

12:38 – Slight nausea in my stomach, although it could just be the fact that it’s morning, and I got too stoned and pigged out on unhealthy foods before I fell asleep last night. I’m going to go do the dishes, I’ll report back when finished on how menial tasks are affected!

12:58 – Done with the dishes, it wasn’t any better or worse than usual. If anything is still going on, it’s very mild. I think I didn’t do enough, nor did I leave it in long enough before I had to blow my nose. This was just a little trial experiment with this method of ingestion.

All in all, this method of ingestion does work, although with practice I’m sure I could get it to work much better. The big H and me weren’t meant to be, just too foul tasting in my opinion.
