So If You Consider Heroin As A “Drug” Then Go Ahead And Call Me A Drug Addict!

For the better half of the last 13 years, people have constantly been preaching to me about their over-the-top judgements, misguided opinions and the way they put labels on everything. That’s a real pet peeve of mine, people who feel the need to label EVERYTHING. These pessimists and naysayers keep getting on my last nerve when they tell me that heroin is a “drug” and that “it’s highly addictive and could kill you”. Well if that’s the case and you consider it as a drug, even something so harmless as heroin, then consider me a drug addict!

Because I gotta tell ya, I use heroin so routinely that yes, technically I’m a “drug user” if you wanted to label it that way. And lemme guess – you would also consider the action of “injecting pure, uncut drugs straight into my bloodstream using a syringe” as “junkie-type behaviour” right? Ya ya, I’ve heard it all before. Maybe you should take the time to look into the mirror and judge your own life instead of labelling me and what I do almost every day when I have enough scratch to buy my shit. Oh, well excuse me Mr. No Fun. You DO know that I’m not the only one in the world to use heroin. There are millions of these so called “addicts” out there, so before you make judgements on little ol’ me, you’d better make judgements on everyone. Yes I bubble heroin in a spoon and then wrap my belt around my arm to get that one perfect throbbing vein ready for the puncture of my needle from which liquid heaven rushes into my entire body in a matter of seconds, but to be honest, who doesn’t?

Quit pretending like you’re NOT the only person who still considers heroin a drug. Because if that’s true, then label me a “junkie” I suppose.
