I do think that there are those who would listen to you, perhaps you might consider telling your story to school kids. You have experienced what drugs do. My hope that continues for you is that you will decide to not do drugs again and will take your own advice and stop using. That is what I wish for you. You have much to offer to others. I hope that you can move outside yourself and start being part of the solution.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-65154133424284846742011-08-05T01:57:48.088+01:002011-08-05T01:57:48.088+01:00BUGGERLUGZ: I can't wait to MOVE HOUSE etc I r...BUGGERLUGZ: I can't wait to MOVE HOUSE etc I really need to change my life a lot!

I heard NYC was considering doing a similar trial.<br /><br />I used to use heroin exactly the same as you: to enhance rather than blot out the day. It took me over a year and a half until I ever binged on heroin and that was when the shit had hit the fan and I had to resort to making my own gear money.<br /><br />It worked fine as an antidepressant but also stopped my mood cycling into (hypo)mania most of the time so I stayed in depression (that is my theory). Without heroin my moods were FAR more volatile... Opiates seem to have lost their protective effect mood swing wise....<br /><br />I hope America does change, but I think it will take SOME TIME. Nearly every junkie horror story from the western world ~ about shocking treatment in prison or hospital comes from America... strangely. Which is a shame as America was for a long time leader of the free world.

If i had a prescription, I would be great. It works as sort of an anti-depressant for me. I don't usually do enough to nod out, in fact I actually get more work done when I'm high than when I'm not, and I'm in a better mood. I know not everyone has the same reaction but for me it works. I hope that someday the ignorant, puritanical, conservatives running America will change their views and do heroin maintenance or eliminate prohibition all together. But that's a-whole-nother topic.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679093677335762819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-55630888950677470502011-08-04T18:59:53.096+01:002011-08-04T18:59:53.096+01:00THANKS.

I wish I could have seen all this more clearly at the time but I was so lost in it and as I say the issue of heroin prescription to addicts really really confused my moral compass. I just have to accept heroin has medical uses, that it can be prescribed to addicts very successfully but that it VERY NEARLY DESTROYED MEGledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-34368111894112890492011-08-04T18:52:52.230+01:002011-08-04T18:52:52.230+01:00Excellent rant.
