HOw long do you have to use heroin for before you become addicted?!?!?

Question

Ive always thought it as just a couple of times, but someone I know whos addicted to it says it takes six weeks, is that true?

Ps if your gonna imply that you think I use heroin and im asking for myself...ill save you some time, by telling you ive never used it!

"I dont use the horse" hahah

a few people will understand that!

Answer 1

Once

Answer 2

alls it takes is 1 try. please never try heroin. it screws up ur life.

Answer 3

It depends on the person's internal chemistry to some extent.  But studies have shown that as few as 2 uses can cause physical addiction in some people, resulting in withdrawal symptoms if they stop.  Your friend sounds like they've made up an arbitrary number to justify either doing, or playing around with doing something very destructive.  GL

Answer 4

The truth is that it is different for everyone. Some people use it and never become addicted, while others are addicted almost immediately. Your friend is a lot closer to the truth than the one person who said they worked in a rehab and it's twice, that comment is just stupid, especially for someone that should be educated on it.

I've used it numerous times, never got addicted, and now have the education as I have become an addictions specialist. I have the personal/lifestyle experience as well as the proper education from college to back up my factual information.

Hope this helped.

Answer 5

Most users are addicted after the first use.

Answer 6

After about a week of heavy use one may be inclined to kick the sheets a little.

Answer 7

i heard it only takes a few times of doing it to get addicted, maybe in the beginning it's just a matter of willpower to stop.

Answer 8

some people are different...some it takes the first hit other people's systems may take longer.  Why? Is that your goal in life...to become addicted to a very dangerous drug?

Answer 9

I worked in a drug rehab, and it's twice

Answer 10

everyone is different. some people are hooked on the horse from the first hit.  a lot of people say the first time they took it "they were in love" and were chasing that high ever since.

Answer 11

just once can make you addicted.

Answer 12

u can get addicted on the first time u use it and u can also die the first time u use it

Answer 13

It is considered to be the most harmful and the most addictive substance on earth.

Answer 14

Dont even try. I have seen many peoples lives wasted by this c**p. Nothing is worth that.

Answer 15

Just wanting it in the first place can be looked at as addiction.  You're already the same as an addict.  You want it.  They want it.  What's the difference.

Answer 16

No, it varys on how your body reacts to it. Some people may get addicted after just one shot. One dose to ruin their lives forever.

Answer 17

it depends on how your body reacts to it. Before school let out, i had to do this big project on a drug and i chose heroin. It said, some become addicted on the first try or it, and some it takes longer. But heroin isnt something to play around with, they had pictures of an african american man, his arm was like bleached from heroin.

Answer 18

Depends on the user- some people can become addicted instantly and others can use regularly but not be addicted-

so really is dependent on the person and I would assume on the quality and quantity that they foolishly introduce into their system

Answer 19

why are you even thinking about that how dumb are you just don't do it the first time.

Answer 20

i font know

Answer 21

it depends on the individual some persons are more susceptible to addictions than others , but generally with drugs they block perception and is easy to go past the threshold and become addicted

Answer 22

Addicts always try to act like the expert of the drug that they are on. Heroin can get ya in one snoot..... It just depends on the person.

Answer 23

one time. dont be stupid.

Answer 24

Probably once.

Don't even try..  Is it worth the risk?

Answer 25

I've always been told all it takes is once.  Because after that first high you get addicted trying to get as high as you did that first time.  I think the call it chasing the Dragon.

Answer 26

you CAN become addicted after the first use... it depends on your own addictive personality

Answer 27

They used to call it riding the white horse. I've never done the stuff and I don't ever plan on it. But I do know that it depends on the person's susceptability. People generally respond differently to substances.

Answer 28

one time stupid it an only be one time tht u have had it then ur addicted-it happend to my brother he only used it once and hes now addited and in rehab

Answer 29

Erm.

Don't use it?

Answer 30

It depends on the person.

Answer 31

Well it depends, some people can take it a few times then become addicted after that, other can take it first time and are addicted after that

and the person that you know is addicted to it, did he/she have it again after he/she had had it for the first time, he/she may not have been addicted but it could have been on the back of their mind maybe craved it abit?

anyways

hope i helped
