I dont experience the positive effects anymore due to ths impurity of the substance. Heroin is basically nonexistent. It used to hold me in a warm embrace and just feel like pure bliss but that isnt the case anymore. I have only known of 1 person who was able to use heroin recreationally and not get hooked. Ive never seen anyone else be able to do that in my 15 or so years of heroin addiction. The benefits are long gone, just eats away my money for no reason. But for some reason i still throe my money at it every night hoping ill acheive that feeling it once gave me. But like i said its so stepped on its not even heroin so i know i wont acheive it but for some reason it still has me like a fuckin slave. Im not as bad off as i once was but still it eats my soul eith each and every day. Makes me feel so down, but the dope doesnt even bring me back up like once upon a time

If there is one thing we all mostly agree on its that the current system is ineffective. So why not entertain another perspective with some interesting facts and history behind it. Spoiler alert: it was only a few generations ago that you could walk into an opium den just like walking in to a bar today (well maybe not today but a year ago precovid lol) and yes there was actual cocaine in Coca-Cola for the first 45 or so years.
