Answer 4

Heroin is a complete body drug, it does not have very much to do with the brain. True, the situations its adherants find themselves in are not good, but that is the 1972 dangerous drugs act for you, it created much more junkies than leaving things alone would ever do. It has only put the supply and regulation of drugs in the hands of criminals, but I digress. Just as some one is a junkie does not mean they cannot have any sort of psychological affectation.

Also, the main thrust of giving it up is that you must be single minded, it is like learning a new language, believe me. They are there to support but not to carry, don't confuse what you want with what is being offered. Relax.

Answer 5

I smoked heroin and I don't have a split personality, yes I do, no I don't, yes I do, no I don't, yes I do.

All of that support c**p is for losers. When there's no support you just have to do it on your own.

Answer 6

Addicts typically lose much of their sense of decency and in my experience Heroin addicts can be very labile. For example, my brother at one point accused me of stealing his rent money and stole money from my grandmother. It sounds to me like the person in question may be using you as a way to justify his addiction. By blaming you for his slip-ups, he can avoid taking responsibility for himself and cleaning up his act. But also keep in mind that he's fighting a desperate struggle and may be lashing out as a consequence, and that while it's not the norm some people routinely become angry and even violent when they withdraw from Heroin.

Answer 7

I am just going to answer your original question. NO. I don't know where you would have heard that but it does not cause that or anything like that.

Answer 8

I haven't got time for a long answer, but what do you mean by a split personality.  Many people get this wrong.  We as psychologists, when we say split personality mean a split from reality, and not mulitple personality disorder, which is something else.  Its important that your definition is correct.

Answer 9

DONT take drugs fullstop you either end up dead or looking like your dead "personally i dont have time for DRUG USER'S
