How To - Stay In Trouble

Powder Heroin

Now there are pamphlets on how to use heroin “safely”. Are these pamphlets best read before or after one gets a fix? Is a different technique used to shoot Oxycontin?
Heroin is not a safe drug under any circumstances and the name of these pamphlets might as well be “How to be a little bit happier while in hell.”
The pamphlets make no sense – making drug rehab available does.

“The New York City Department of Health has come under fire for what some are calling a “how to” pamphlet on using heroin and other intravenous drugs correctly. The Department of Health created the pamphlet, titled “Take Charge, Take Care,” in 2007 in an effort to help those who use injection drugs reduce the various risks associated with drug use.
“I think tips provided in the pamphlet are not good in terms of preventing anyone from going down the road. It’s enabling a user, or potential user. It implies you can use heroin in a safe manner, which is false. There is no safe way to use heroin,” said John Gilbride, special agent in the field division of the Drug Enforcement Administration. “
