People often start with smoking it 'Chasing the dragon' then for a bigger hit go to injecting. If you carry on with heavy use you will probably come addicted in about 6 months, and basically once you're hooked you're fucked. Although methadone is a lot harder to come off than heroin.

Isn't that used as a replacement drug for users who have a heroin addiction?

Yeah the spoon thing confuses me as well.

Yeah it is, but it's a lot harder to come of, it's kinda weird, people will often dabble with methadone and heroin for years. Like if they can't get the meth, they'd have to go get a score cos they'd be in agony. And the spoon thing is where you head it up to make it liquid so you can put it in the needle to shoot up. Smoking it chills you out, but some people need more and straight into the vein is an instant hit.

So heroin is a solid substance originally and it's turned into a liquid for those who want to inject? Wow, didn't know that.

Yeah I read smoking it does less damage for you or something but a lot choose to inject as get more from it.

It's not just chavs and that who are addicts either. Chinese opium houses used to be for the upper classes. People from all walks of life become addicts.

That's sad. Is it like one of the most powerful drugs then? That you can get a real good kick from taking?

No offense intended but how do you know all of this - have you been involved with heroin yourself?

No lol I've watched loads of docs about heroin, heroin addicts, really good, but really hard hitting sort of thing. I like to educate myself and not just think of them as 'Smack Heads'. And no, i've never done it lol
