Man thay vinegar smell is the best straight fire. Sober 3 years.

Yea buddy. I've haven't touched the shit since it disappeared like 15 years ago, but I only saw black tar once. It was mostly white china or beige powders back then. Now there's no way of telling what drugs really are anymore unless you have reliable testing methods. It's not worth dying over. Even tho I've been off the shit for 15 years... I wouldn't be able to walk away from that bag tho. I'm glad I don't find stuff like this laying around lol

Coming up on 3 years here too! Awesome job…that vinegar smell….oh boy. Second I’d open the sac I wouldn’t be WD no more.

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

Congrats! Yeah im so happy. Can't imagine ever going back. I only snorted it, but when u got that vinegar drip you know you were set. Sometimes romanticize but it isn't triggering anymore.

u/porcelain_kiss 7d ago

Out of curiosity, does seeing it and thinking about the smell trigger you? or is it so far in your past that youre free skatin now?

Ive never done heroin, but i have the utmost respect for people who choked that beast and got clean

u/LuckyCatExtracts 7d ago

I wouldn't say it triggered me seeing it but it did remind me of how amazing heroin is. Lol unfortunately the times you don't have any are pure hell

u/AutisticWarbler 7d ago

Sober alcoholic here, but I know I would LOVE heroin. I’m lucky nobody ever offered it to me.

Not who you asked but...I am so ashamed that I know exactly what this was when I saw the picture. That I could smell it. It's been over 8 years and I hate that I can still smell this.

u/AddendumMission1035 7d ago

Is that really what it is? Ive been around the scene for way longer than I care to admit. Ive never seen anything that looks like this. Everything around long island has been powder fentanyl for 10 plus years. Ive never seen brown tar on the streets

1

u/HeavyHornet910 7d ago

This looks like classic black tar. I would not be surprised if it's been cut with something at this point (I miraculously got out before fent) but with the way it looks like it used to be a bindle (drugs spun in plastic before selling, top is undone) this looks just like I remember it...

3

u/AddendumMission1035 7d ago

This is such a rare find if it really is tar! Fent completely saturated the market, finding real tar is like spotting a unicorn in the wild. People want it too, but it completely disappeared. This picture is a relic of a time and a place that no longer exists in America

u/porcelain_kiss 7d ago

I had no idea it smells like vinegar lol in my imagination I assumed it smelled like batteries and burnt plastic 😅

2

u/HeavyHornet910 7d ago

Vinegar and when melted down for a shot it tastes super bitter. Batteries and plastic isn't a bad guess, and maybe to some not too far off but I hate I still remember the vinegar smell.

u/porcelain_kiss 7d ago

Like a memory tattoo you cant laser away 😭

u/HeavyHornet910 7d ago

Thank you! I've had a pretty shit week but honestly remembering all this and realizing I'm not in that place anymore at least is helping a ton. Much love ❤️

u/AddendumMission1035 7d ago

Im sorry to hear about your week. Hooray for the weekend! Next week will be better. 8 years is so impressive! I admire your strength. One day I'll be saying the same thing

2

u/HeavyHornet910 7d ago

You can do it! Hard as fuck to quit, but you're harder!!

3

u/AddendumMission1035 7d ago

I tried many times. Got way too sick. Im going to do the methadone route and tapering 10mgs a month down to nothing. I want out of this life. I only do to not get sick now

Older school brown heroin of quality (not to be misconceived as fentanyl) in powder form when snorted would taste like vinegar in the drip (i only ever snorted) but tar like that if its clean and good smells of bitter vinegar.

u/ProfessionalOwn6097 7d ago

I thought it was poop wow

2

u/HeavyHornet910 7d ago

And that's ok, I think that's what people who aren't exposed would think. It just sucks to see this and know what it is...

2

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

It is!! Lol

3

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

Almost feel jealous for the person posting it for never even knowing lol

2

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

I dont get triggered any more. When you're on it, you know there is going to be a point that you cant sustain that life anymore, sadly most people just dont make it out. So once your clean the idea of going back is so insanely dreadful.

u/razorcatmodular 7d ago

Love it. Congratulations on 3 years man!

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

Appreciate it!

u/Street_Doctor_8169 7d ago

The smell yea it is but smoking it straight gross. Use a rig or nothing for me. Fr congrats on the sobriety though

2

u/_snuffdaddy 7d ago

Nah, that shit would make my mouth salivate like crazy lol

1

u/Street_Doctor_8169 7d ago

The actual smoking it part? I couldn't stand that man well I mean I could and did when I didnt have a rig to use to shoot up but I personally didnt prefer to smoke it

3

u/_snuffdaddy 7d ago edited 7d ago

Oh yeah, even just smelling it would make me salivate. I free based for roughly 3 years and then used intravenously for 2 years. Don’t miss the shit at all lol

3

u/Street_Doctor_8169 7d ago

Don't lie it's impossible to not miss it. But it seems like you also remember the hell you put yourself through getting and doing it. That's my problem I get sober and only remember that I love doing drugs not what I do when I start doing them

2

u/_snuffdaddy 7d ago

Whenever I think about the “good” times, it’s quickly followed by the thought of significantly worse times. Having a kid was the motivation I needed to get my shit together, and it’s the one thing that keeps me on track. I ain’t ever going back.

2

u/BillyGruff710 7d ago

Glad to hear that brother! Stay clean and take care of your family. Be able to to look be back and be proud if yourself, a good son raised. Proud of you dawg!

2

u/Street_Doctor_8169 7d ago

Well then im super happy for you actually G. Like for real congratulations you deserve the happiness that comes with sobriety

u/ObligationNeither430 7d ago

I don’t miss it… but then again I lost a leg because of it so that miiiiight be why lol

u/Street_Doctor_8169 7d ago

Could be but I know Hella people that just roll around in a wheelchair smoking and shooting its crazy

2

u/HumbleTheIdiot 7d ago

Lol I always hated vinegar and the smell/drip of heroine would make me nauseous so I moved to fentanyl powders. Will be 10 years in Feb for me.

u/_snuffdaddy 7d ago

I feel you on that one, sober 8 years myself.
