Title: Question about heroin dosing
Post by: pluraver on May 09, 2013, 06:24 am
Hey folks, before I begin let me say that I am a veteran heroin user (multiple year, daily habit of around 5 bags per IV shot).  However, my situation has changed and I got clean for around a year so I'm quite certain my tolerance should be nowhere near what it used to be.

Anyway, I recently ordered a half gram of dope from a pretty well established vendor and I was wondering a few things. 

1. Is purity of dope from Silk Road generally MUCH higher than that of street heroin (from East Coast USA)?
2. I have heard heroin tolerance never really reaches zero again even with extended breaks.  In your experience is this true?  Having never quit and come back to it like many people I never had the luxury of a tolerance break.
3. Assuming high purity, what would you suggest as a starting IV dose for someone with about a year break if I want a good rush?
4. Also assuming high purity, how far do you think a half gram will go for two people?

As a side note: My buddy who is pretty much non-tolerant to all opiates recently got into shooting his drugs and wants to do so with heroin.  As is, we'd be shooting it together but he is notorious for being a lightweight so I'm still trying to decide if I dare let him inject this stuff.

Thanks in advance!

Depends on the vendor, I have no idea what you get on the street in the USA, but generally higher, sometimes A LOT higher (street heroin here in Austria is around 5-15% pure on average, while from some vendors here you get almost PURE stuff)

It doesn't really reach zero, like if you were an heroin/opiate virgin, but it goes down by quite a lot

Better be safe than sorry, start with max 50 mg, it will probably be too little, but you can always take more, especially since your veins should be fine after such a long break, approach your "limits" with care!

It will maybe last you 2-3 days

Well i would never advise to get any more people into heroin, but if he is sure about it then go for it, but should be really  careful with the dosage maybe start with 20-30mg (30-50 mg PURE heroin can already kill a total new opiate user)


The purity that vendors offer really varies a lot, so it would probably a good idea to check reviews and feedback of those vendors.

Another advice: maybe try smoke (if #3 heroin) or snort (if #4), it gives you a decent look at the quality, and you can easily see how much tolerance you still got, as well its harder to OD


take care!
