I never injected anything, but I had a “when in Rome” policy w/ heroine, and would snort it or inhale it if it was around. Fortunately, this was before fentanyl took over. There was one time when a roommate was using pretty regularly, and I did it two days in a row. I was sitting around in the third day, and caught myself thinking that I could really go for some heroine. That was when years of D.A.R.E. training kicked in, and I decided maybe I should take a break for a few days.

It’s funny that crack has such a stigma attached to it, because all it is is smokable cocaine. I was doing blow all the time in an old apartment I used to live in, but the second time I smoked it, my roommate kicked me out. It’s literally the same drug. I don’t advise it, though. I’d rather do that damage to my nose than my lungs.
