someone might be able to clarify this for me (i have zero experience with this drug)
is it true heroin is in fact the least harmful of recreational drugs out there-in terms of side effects etc...the danger lies in how addicitive it can be.
true or false
plenty of people od on heroin.
most drug and alcohol related overdoses have a mixture of drugs involved in the system.
have snorted H a few times... i won't deny. one of the most magically beautiful feelings ever... but you can see straight away how easily addicting it can be... i rarely use this sort of hyperboly but this is one time when you literally "don't give a ****" about anything else in the world... but when you think about it, that's not neccesarily a good thing. in the same way that physical pain is there to make you think something isn't right, so is mental pain. you're better off dealing with it then using something to fight it off....
i read an article on this girl many years ago and there many things to take from it

this is the girl who can't feel pain
"Pain teaches," said her mother, Trish Gingras. "Pain protects. Pain can save you from a lot of bad things in life."
Gabby, who is 5, suffers from an extremely rare disorder called congenital insensitivity to pain. For unknown reasons, the connection between the nerves that sense pain and the brain's recognition of pain is missing. Her other sensory areas -- touch, heat, vibration, and the ability to perceive movement -- are normal.
although this girls condition prevents her from feeling physical pain, the effects of heroin are similar in terms of it's ability to hide you from mental pain.
there is a reason we feel things. if it's the pain of putting your hand on a stove, which this girl doesn't feel, it's because we are burning ourselves. if it's a mental pain of breaking up with someone, losing a job, finding ourselves many thousands of dollars in debt, we have to deal with it. not just **** it off.
H stops you from feeling mental pain... but also stops you from feeling mental highs... it's so hard to explain, but you literally feel "nothing"... just calm bliss.... which as i said earlier is actually a great feeling... but it's a great feeling if you know when you come off you've got something good to go back to, like great friends, family, job, or just a good satisfying life.
if you're shitty with life, no job, no money, your misses has dumped you, you've dumped your misses but not sure about it... pretty much any reason to be miserable that might make you go on the "downward spiral" then it's a drug to be ignored... and even if you're in a good situation from the previous paragraph, i would stilly highly recommend caution.
