Fair enough but the scale from buzzed to antisocial is vastly shorter on heroin than alcohol. From my observations of others, the desired pleasurable dose of heroin takes you out of the conversation pretty much immediately. Thankfully I've never chased that dragon...
- code_duck 8y agoHeroin also has a therapeutic side, though. People sometimes start out taking milder opiates like oxycodone or hydrocodone for pain, from a prescription or friends/family/black market, and then end up using black market opiates because they're addicted, still in pain, or both and can't get a legal supply.
