Five Most Abused Drugs And Users Experiences by Nobody: 9:59pm On Jun 04, 2015
1.HEROIN:Heroin is an opiate processed directly from the extracts of the opium
poppy. It was originally created to help cure people of addiction to
morphine. Upon crossing the blood-brain barrier, which occurs soon
after introduction of the drug into the bloodstream, heroin is converted
into morphine, which mimics the action of endorphins, creating a
sense of well-being; the characteristic euphoria has been described
as an “orgasm” centered in the gut. One of the most common methods
of heroin use is via intravenous injection.
For the last 4 months, my partner and I have been recreationally using
heroin. H became our weekend ritual. Lighting candles, playing music,
brie and wine and grapes, reading tarot and finally fucking… for hours
on end, the most intense beautiful technicolor sex. Each time we did it
we got closer to each other. And each time we did it, we wanted to do it
again, and again. We tried saying we’d only do it once every two
weeks, but that lasted 6 days. We have rules about how much we do in
one night, how late we stay up and so on. So far the rules have kept us
safe from addiction. Unless you consider the nagging i-don’t-wanna-
go-a-weekend-or-have-sex-without-it feelings. We’ve never run
out, although, once we were down to our last little bit and I left the vial
open on the night stand. I was reaching for the lube when I heard the
most sickening sound, the vial falling over. Turns out, I was mistaken,
I had remembered to put the cap back on. But in those few seconds of
uncertainty, my girl and I shot each other a look we had never seen
before.. Fear .
2.COCAINE:Cocaine is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the
leaves of the coca plant. It is both a stimulant of the central nervous
system and an appetite suppressant, giving rise to what has been
described as a euphoric sense of happiness and increased energy. It
is most often used recreationally for this effect. Cocaine is a potent
central nervous system stimulant. Its effects can last from 20 minutes
to several hours, depending upon the dosage of cocaine taken, purity,
and method of administration. The initial signs of stimulation are
hyperactivity, restlessness, increased blood pressure, increased heart
rate and euphoria. The euphoria is sometimes followed by feelings of
discomfort and depression and a craving to experience the drug again.
Sexual interest and pleasure can be amplified. Side effects can
include twitching, paranoia, and impotence, which usually increases
with frequent usage.
The cocaine arrived and we agreed to use it at a time that translated to
three and a half hours after I arrived. It cost $60 for what I was told
was an eighth of a gram. This seemed rather expensive, but I was
assured that it was ‘high quality product.’ I took the line up my left
nostril. After about ninety seconds, I felt my heartbeat increase. It was
definitely kicking in. I began to worry a bit, as I could feel my heart
pounding and my pulse increasing. I finally felt as if it had reached a
plateau. My heartbeat became level, albeit still very high. Many people
say that one feels euphoria – being invincible and/or the desire to
clean the house. I did not feel either of these (and I did remember to
think about these things). For me, the positive effects of cocaine came
directly from knowing that I had reached a plateau and I was going to
be fine. I felt invigorated, yet also very comfortable.
One of the best treatment for drug addiction is to consult with cocaine
rehab centers for recovery.
3.METH:Methamphetamime, popularly shortened to meth or ice, is a
psychostimulant and sympathomimetic drug. Methamphetamine enters
the brain and triggers a cascading release of norepinephrine,
dopamine and serotonin. Since it stimulates the mesolimbic reward
pathway, causing euphoria and excitement, it is prone to abuse and
addiction. Users may become obsessed or perform repetitive tasks
such as cleaning, hand-washing, or assembling and disassembling
objects. Withdrawal is characterized by excessive sleeping, eating and
depression-like symptoms, often accompanied by anxiety and drug-
craving.
We first smoked meth on New Year’s Eve because we heard it was
great for sex. I had to work the next day and so saved some to smoke
before work in the morning. When I got home another g was waiting
for me and I smoked every day but one until I finally quit three months
later. For three weeks we smoked meth with little consequence, then
my skin became fragile and in addition to breaking out, started to
swell. I was really worried because I was constantly thirsty and
drinking water, but I rarely urinated. Then my kidneys started hurting.
I had lost twenty pounds in two months and my husband had lost thirty,
and we’d read somewhere that rapid weight loss can cause kidney
failure. I slept every three or four days for an hour or so and woke
feeling rested. I was an hour late for work everyday. My husband
wrecked the truck three times. One day I forgot to feed my son.
Everything was either the highest of highs or the lowest of lows, no in
between existed anymore. We were banned from the sauna at our
apartment complex because no one else could use it. Our sweat
smelled so strongly of ammonia it burned the eyes, it was caustic, and
it burned our skin too. My husband and I haven’t done any drugs at all
for four weeks, and things are slowly going back to normal. But I still
want it. I can’t sleep tonight because I want it.
4CRACK:Crack cocaine, often nicknamed “crack”, is believed to have been
created and made popular during the early 1980s . Because of the
dangers for manufacturers of using ether to produce pure freebase
cocaine, producers began to omit the step of removing the freebase
precipitate from the ammonia mixture. Typically, filtration processes
are also omitted. Baking soda is now most often used as a base rather
than ammonia for reasons of lowered odor and toxicity; however, any
weak base can be used to make crack cocaine. When commonly
“cooked” the ratio is 1:1 to 2:3 parts cocaine/bicarbonate.
As I held the smoke in for a ten count and exhaled, I thought I felt
nothing except a little excitement that was neither bad nor pleasurable.
The complete rush some writers have called a ‘whole-body orgasm’ hit
me shortly after and I distinctly remember demanding ‘more’ as soon
as the realization of heaven-on-earth came. Some people say that the
effects of smoking crack lasts 10-15 minutes. For me, it was just a
shortest instant of gratification. Everything afterwards was just a great
increase in energy and confidence geared towards obtaining more of
the drug.
5.Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD: LSD-25, or acid, is a semisynthetic
psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family. Arguably the most regarded
of all psychedelics, it is considered mainly as a recreational drug, an
entheogen, and a tool in use to supplement various types of exercises
for transcendence including in meditation, psychonautics, and illegal
psychedelic psychotherapy whether self administered or not. LSD’s
psychological effects (colloquially called a “trip”) vary greatly from
person to person, depending on factors such as previous experiences,
state of mind and environment, as well as dose strength. They also
vary from one trip to another, and even as time passes during a single
trip. An LSD trip can have long term psychoemotional effects; some
users cite the LSD experience as causing significant changes in their
personality and life perspective. Widely different effects emerge
based on what Leary called set and setting; the “set” being the general
mindset of the user, and the “setting” being the physical and social
environment in which the drug’s effects are experienced.
About ten years ago I bought my third trip from a guy in my home town
It was a ‘Strawberry’ and I was told it had been double
dipped. The guy had a reputation for selling good acid so I happily
gave him my cash. I took the single LSD tab in the late morning in a
positive state of mind with no worries or anxieties. I began to come up
on the acid towards the lunch time. It was to be the first and last time
I’d ever trip alone. Outside it was a glorious sunny day but I was
happy enough in my temporary sanctuary to even think about going
outside. The LSD rush started blazing up my spine and racing through
my guts, I felt a little uneasy with it but had enough mind to allow
myself to just go with it and wait until the rush plateaued. I was having
a wonderful time, watching floral Escher type patterns breathing over
my skin. I vaguely recall deciding to go downstairs again for some
reason then the next thing I recall was awakening on the floor of the
dining room alone. The first thing I noticed was that there were
blowflies buzzing around a bowl of catfood on the kitchen floor. I
remember feeling perplexed as to why both flies had two bright neon
after images in red and blue. If you could
imagine for a moment being surrounded by people in a busy place
where their heads had been removed and replaced by Squids and
Octopus you might begin to accurately picture the scene confronting
me in the park. Everyone had tentacles smothering their faces and
dangling down their necks like fleshy snake beards, even the women
and children were not exempt from this disfiguration. In retrospect, it
was the worst day of my entire life, It was the closest I can imagine to
having full blown psychosis.
