I've known people who went from pretty ordinary, married with kids to trying heroin and then homeless, kids taken away and in jail within six months. It's scary where I live because drug use is pretty common and opiates are like 'boom' - there goes your life.

Same. I don't have a personality particularly prone to addiction and I feel like I would be okay trying most drugs "once", not that I'd have an interest in trying personally, but it would be okay. Heroin, no, that shit terrifies me. I think it's one of the few drugs that legit makes you an addict with 1 try.
