How Different is Snorting H from Injecting It?

[StealSmoke]

this is something I'm wondering about, I don't use H alot, but lately I sorta have been, I've only ever snifed it, at the most one dime bag of some good shit or 2 of some considerably weak shit, and I'll be feeling very very good for about 4-5 hours, and I
ll do another one or two and be high as fuck for another 4-5-6 hours, and then I'll wake up and do it again, for the last week that is.

now how bad is this for me? I kbnow dope, in general is bad for you, but is this bad for me in any particular sense? and if I keep sniffing it for another week at this same rate, will I have major withdrawal or just somewhat bad withdrawal comparable to say a 10 vicoin pills a day for 2 years withdrawal? or would it be about the same?

and is sniffing heroin bad for me, liek I originally said, and how does injecting it differ? not that I'd ever inject it, I'm just under an impression, allbeit probably a false one ,tha tinjectign H is probably alot worse for you and causes much worse withdrawals and also boosts your tolerance alot faster even though the high/rush is 10 times better.

so by sniffing blows for 2-3 weeks straight, am I doing or have I done any significant harm to my body or brain, and will I have major withdrawal?

I appreciate the answers, I don't really feel addicted as of right now, but I sure do want to do it again and I will, but like I said, I'm pretty sure I could quit cold turkey if I wanted to, but I will continue to use for another few days or a week, birthday tomorrow so I'm celebrating, lol, thanks in advance, and peace be upon all of you.

opiates are relatively safe for your body,heroin is cut with some crazy shit some times which will make it worse if it isnt cut too bad or if it is cut with something safe your cool but you never know! shooting boosts tolerance makes withdrawl more intense and has alot more health risks than snorting! i have heard of people having withdrawl symptoms as early as 3 days later!! some people are different i would say after 5 days of doing it several times a day that you will experience withdrawl.so unless you are rich or have a cheap steady reliable supply........yer fukd..... quit while you are ahead it is not worth it!!!



by the way all of the answers to yer questions can be found on here or via search engine so there is no need to start a thread unless you have looked elsewhere first and cannot find the answers you seek!!!

As early as 3 days? I'm confused here. Other than Methadone and Suboxone and maybe a few other random drugs 72 hours is normally when my withdrawals are peaking. when strung out withdrawals can begin to be felt inside of 12 hours. Is that a typo?
It has to be.


To the OP. Your obviously very new to opiates. You would do really well to read as much as you possibly can on this site. You will learn a lot. You certainly are in a position to.

And real quickly. Hydrocodone (vicodin) withdrawal can be as bad if not worse than heroin withdrawals. It's going to vary person to person. It's all "dope". When used to often for too long you will have to pay a price for it. The first few times you probably won't even realize your in WD's. This happens to people who spend a month in the hospital all doped up. they get home and feel like crap but don't know why.
In the same way that it gets harder and harder to get high it also seems to get harder and harder to kick. That is to say that WD's get worse everytime you go through them depending on how much your doing and for how long. I remember a time when withdrawals where just a night or two without sleep and diarhea. The symptoms have since piled up though.


This makes me wish I could some how talk to myself in the past. I feel like Im talking to my 17 year old self here. I would say. Stop. Don't do anymore. Go study. Stop partying so much!

God knows I wouldn't listen even if I could talk to my past self.

[blackdog]

hey cuz,
too much of anything is not good for you
but if i had to choose a way to go it would be in the saddle with my boots on if'n yah know whut i mean. wink-wink, nudge-nudge
peace respect.dawg,:cool:

I think you'll be alright. It sure makes me jealous to here when sniffing a bag or two gets you all lit up...those were the days. If you took that many vikes and experienced that withdrawal, you'll probably be dealin with a walk in the park then. And definetly keep sniffin 'em cuz when the tolerance is that low...migrating to needles would be a grave mistake, my brother.

This thread should come along with a "only pittsburghers reply, please" by the looks of it.

i meant by "as early as three days" because some people that dont do very much can be stronger than people who hit it hard for 2 days, or shit a good 24 hour run!!! my girl does shit once in a while and she can do it two days in a row and quit and be fine, but she dont do much and one time she did it for 3 days and was sick the 4th!! but everyone is different and it depends alot on potency and ROA of course. also i think you misunderstood,my withdrawls from dope or ms start 8 hours or less after last dose...the op sound like when they started they were not physically dependant yet and i am saying for someone who is not hooked can go 2-3 days and quit and barely notice withdrawls or they are minimal at best ...not like us at all..but it sounds like they have been hitting it for at least a week everyday so a normal person will have withdrawls so it all boils down to how much you can take(of withdrawl)and 2-3 days clean would prob feel better...me the last time i kicked(involuntarily)it took 9 weeks for phys symptoms to subside....ouch

[grant123]

OP: I would say as said above, opiates in general are much easier on the body than other recreational drugs..... uppers.... hullacinagins(sp?) etc.....

I would not worry about the damage you are doing to your body, unless your getting extremely bad quality product. (the cut is usually what harms you the most in cases of IDIOTS cutting shit with other.... shit!) I would be worried about addiction. it can really creep up on yah, you think you have it all undercontrol until.... one day you dont. and yes the needle causes higher tolerance, and can be 'worse'for you because the dope has cuts..... and your bypassing all of your bodys filters (nasal wall, kidney etc) and puttin em right into your blood streem.


There are many people who are opiate addicts (weather it be vicadon or iv heroin) and you would have no idea. Id bet you know people that are closet addicts. the only problem is when you dont have your medicine... you dont get out of bed.

so technically if you had a lifetime supply..... and werent an idiot and O/D'd.... yo ucould probably do it your whole long life..... ok now im dreaming :) hope that made sense im high as a muthe fucker.. peace outo oyalll!

If you continue to use on a daily basis you will drive your tolerance up and set yourself up for increasingly severe withdrawl. Take some days off. As someone said earlier in this thread, use the search function on this website and educate yourself on what you are doing. Keep your tolerance down or you will wind up spending a ton of cash just to feel so so.

Bwahaa Thats the truth. Very different my friend. And very more pleasurable. Also much more dangerous.

[StealSmoke]

lol yeah, Raz, most indefinitely that shit made alot of sense, beautiful analogy, if I knew how to or if I could rep you I would, you painted a picture with that one bro.

but yeah though, I appreicate everyone's answers and good advice, and I know you're al lofr the most part right, but I think today, feb 20th, my birthday, I copped five bags for 40, the "alright" shit, one bag I just snorted and A blue zany has me RIGHT right about now, I got 4 left, probably sniff another one in an hour or half our, and be good till about 8:00 PM, and then I'ma snort another 2 at once, and then the last one at like 10 or 11, and I should be beautifully nodding in and out of conciousness contemplating how I'ma call my PO tomorrow morning to tell her I can't make it in cuzz I have no transportation, she's cool as fuck though so she'll understand and I really don't haev ntransportation, and almost every month I'll either go to see her adn she'll be goen or busy and not even see me just give me another appointment, or I'll cal lin and tell her I had some issues to deal with and she'd give me another appointment either half a month or a month later. 2 of my only cars got wrecked, one was parked and dude hit it fucked up the transmission, my GMC van, I was riding down 9th street a one way, and this crackhead(no offense, this dude was a straight up cluck) ran a stop sign and ended up colliding, now his insurance can't get alod of hi mso I gotta take them or him to court to get my money cuz the van is fucked up too, most likely theyre gonna total it again cuzz its not drivable at all. so yah.

lol, but sorry to get of topic ,I'm thinking either today or tommorrow might be my last day fuckin with the H for a a while if not for a long time, chipper status yadig? vicodin still gets me high as fuck, to be hoenst, I swear t oGod I took 5 5 mg vikes and was nodding off, lol, and this was 2 days ago, even though I've been snortign the H for a few weeks now, so my tolerance is stil lgood, its just getting the vikes is the problem, when they atrent around I do haev somewhat bad withdrwals but nothing that prayer and determination can't overcome without too much pain. so I'ma need soem vicodin or even darvocet, to tamper me off of this shit, and I'll be good.

I see why people like this forum, even though the H forum on here is somewhat dead sometimes, the peopel here really are friendly adn try their best to help and give good beneficial advice, so I appreciate the warm welcome. Esselamu aleykum warahmatullah.

Lucky you. I've had a bunch of P.O.'s and only two of them were cool like that. The last one told me that if I couldn't make it in then just come next week. Don't bother calling. Of course thats what I did because I always filled out a report the week after my appointment (she had court dates then). Any one else notice that P.O's seem to HATE their job?!

[edhorfin]

Bwahaa Thats the truth. Very different my friend. And very more pleasurable. Also much more dangerous.

I'd say it more different than that. to maintain the sexual similies, I'd say snorting is to shooting as a handjob is to condomless vaginal sex. But, let it be said, I've only snorted H a couple of times. IV'd it thousands of times. With cocaine, iv vs snorting is even more drastic. Lets not even get into speedballs. Or dilaudids. Snorting is just relatively ineffective versus IV, especially with substances which readily cross the blood/brain barrier.

That said, once you IV, you cannot go back again, at least most of us couldn't. It's a life changing action, if there ever was one. That last taboo, the line you told yourself you'd never cross. Please be warned and very careful. Lots of diseases, conditions and maladies are attached to IV dug use which are far far less common when snorting. HIV, HCV, abscesses, foreign matter, embolism, infections galore... all kinds of bad things.

Happy Day after your Birthday stealsmoke:)
This old fart hopes/ wishes you can just chip with H - although I LOVE opiates with a passion, addiction can be a serious bitch. It cost me lots of things I didn't want to lose.
Glad you have a decent PO. I'm lucky, my 2 were both decent (they'd come to my office with their guns covered so as not to scare the normies and the mommies in my pediatric office). I found if I was decent to them, they were decent to me.
Stay Safe!

If you've ever been dependent on opioids, then it can take as little as 3 days of constant used to become dependent again. So as you've had vicodin withdrawals, then taking heroin for more then 3 days in a row could give you opioid withdrawals. It really doesn't matter what opioid you've taken, what matters is how many continuous days you've used anything. Using vicodin one day, then heroin then next, then methadone, then back to vicodin will still give you withdrawals.

When it comes to becoming dependent, it doesn't matter how you take it. IV'ing it for 2 days isn't going to make you dependent, but sniffing it for 4 days could. It's the number of days you take it that counts, not the ROA.

But the less time you've taken it, the less bad withdrawals are. So the soon you stop the better. You'd be better off quiting everything now, and deciding only to take more if you start to get withdrawals, and only enough to help you taper down on, not enough to get high on.

There's plenty of help on here for tapering and going through withdrawal, I just hope that your current run hasn't pushed you back into this. In future it's best on only use for an 8 hour stretch and then give it a rest for 3 days or more, that way you won't become dependent again.

[Chicago]

I agree 100%. Also w/only 3 days mentioned i think, the best is cold turkey b/c it will be the fastest & be back to normal. Every time you take that lil bit more you setting yrself back a lil step even if it be for xanax, even though it helps, thats why they say w/d CT will be so much shorter in the long run to getting normal then taking all kinda of sleepaids & anxeity & some stomach stuff all rx'd by the Dr.
But me, I rather take the meds, but no it will take 5x to get my brain back to normal...

I'm sorry a good shot is far beyond sex, rubber or no rubber, i hate to quote trainspotting..well not really but, "its better than any meat injection" And depending on who you are with, your euphoria might even last longer from the hit.:p

But as far as shooting, i wouldn't suggest it because if you think sniffing is addicting..sheesh. I don't think there is anything in the world that compares to it, but the WD are horrible, and i wish it took me five days to start feeling them. after 24 hours i have no desires to do anything but score.
