i just dont get it, and i dont think i ever will..
ok let me start off by saying that i was physically sickened today simply by hearing words. this phenomenon has occured before, but after what i heard today i sorta snapped...
a friend of mine told me that she was woken up today by 'a gasping sound' from another room. a few minutes later she heard screaming from the next room. when she went in there, her friends boyfriend was found not breathing and blue. someone attempted cpr while 911 was called. about 10 min later, the amublance arrived and asked, 'what did he take?'
and the girlfriend replied, 'heroin.'
WTF??? i dont get it. its not like people dont die from heroin, its not like no one knows whats going to happen to you when you start on it. its a downward spiral from the start.
the term cerebral hypoxia technically refers to a lack of oxygen supply to the cerebral hemispheres (the outer portion of the brain), but it is more typically used to refer to a lack of oxygen supply to the entire brain. brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation. some brain cells actually start dying less than 5 minutes after their oxygen supply is cut. as a result, brain hypoxia can kill or cause severe brain damage rapidly. not to mention the other side effects of heroin use.
i know for a fact this kid wasnt breathing for (at the very least) 5 min. so for the rest of his life, he could be permanently brain damaged. i just think hes lucky the amublance arrived quickly so he didnt die.
how is a chemical worth that? i dont get it..
i am so sick of hearing about someone else i know fuckin around with heroin. ITS SO PATHETIC. I DONT KNOW HOW JUNKIES DONT KNOW/UNDERSTAND THIS.
it seems like every month or so i discover another person i know is doing this pathetic drug. people i wouldve never thought would be involved with it. i dont get it. so many ppl ive graduated with are junkies. its not like they dont know the same people i know that have died from it. hell, i even know junkies that have od'd themselves and still do it.
its sad more than anything. its like junkies NEED it to function normally or theyll get dope sick. thats like self inflicted sickness- you know thats going to happen, its like part of the deal. plus people change when theyre on it. heroin takes priority over things that used to be important. i fail to recognize any possible upside to it. and if there is- enlighten me.. please.
it makes me think theres no stopping it. everyone knows what eventually happens to heroin addicts. yet drones still flock to it. even if a junkie manages to kick the habit, they will have to walk around their whole lives with a big old 'junkie' label on their forehead.
it just makes me sad to think about it. what is the point?
listen up: if your a friend of mine, and your on heroin, do me a favor and dont talk to me anymore. its always sad to lose a friend, but lets be honest, youre never going to be the same again. at least not in my eyes. your new 'fun thing to do on the weekends' is about to wind back and kick you in the dick and i dont want a front row view.

I agree Mizz! I don't know what goes in these peoples heads. Especially the denial part... 'No, I only do it sometimes'. Yeah ok! How can any heroin addict justify sticking dirty needles into their arm to get high? Smoke some weed people!!
their lives are all irrepairably fucked up- thats what happens in that movie. the only one thats not 100% fucked is the black guy who, at some point may get out of jail and carry on a normal life as an ex-junkie/ex-con.
being a junkie is unimpressive despite the substance involved. however, my previous experiences dealing with heroin have led me to single it out. i guess if your lookin for something to jam in your nose or inject into your veins in the first place, then that should be your first red flag.
put down the needles and fire up a pipe wop.
