How does a person feel when high on heroin?

Answer 1

it feels as if you are just in the state before you go into the first stages of anaesthesia but it is a lovely feeling. It must be if used smoked because you are at risk of the obvious, and can't be annoyed to list the danger's of I.V use I am an educated man of middle age and have been addicted for many years. Thankfully I have become totally drug free and I am proud to say that. I still crave heroin but will not do it because I have moved on I have two wonderful children and a beautiful wife. So if there is one thing to say don't do it at all. Scott P Jackson. NSDC

*The consumption of heroin is marked by a euphoric rush, a warm feeling of relaxation, a sense of security and protection, and a dissipation of pain, fear, hunger, tension and anxiety. When heroin is snorted or smoked, the rush is intense and orgasmic. Subjectively, time may slow down. Any sense of anger, frustration or aggression disappears. Users enjoy the feeling of "being wrapped in God's warmest blanket".

Heroin is the most fast-acting of all the opiates. When injected, it reaches the brain in 15-30 seconds; smoked heroin reaches the brain in around 7 seconds. The peak experience via this route lasts at most a few minutes. The surge of pleasure seems to start in the abdomen; a delicious warmth then spreads throughout the body, or at least the somatosensory cortex. After the intense euphoria, a period of tranquillity ("on the nod") follows, lasting up to an hour. Experienced users will inject between 2-4 times per day. After taking heroin, some people feel cocooned and emotionally self-contained. Others feel stimulated and sociable. Either way, there is a profound sense of control and well-being. The euphoria gradually subsides into a dreamy and relaxed state of contentment. Higher doses of heroin normally make a person feel sleepy. At higher doses still, the user will nod off into a semi-conscious state. The effects usually wear off in 3-5 hours, depending on the dose.

Answer 2

Take it from addicts, heroin feels so good, and yet is so bad for you. Heroin is in essence a pain killer, and a heroin high is said to feel just like an Oxycontin high. However, it is hard to give an exact description of what a heroin high feels like.

When you snort it, you usually feel it in your shoulders first. It is like a warm comfortable, relaxing feeling. That feeling spreads through your entire body.

<a href="https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-know-about-heroin-addiction-treatment">Heroin's</a> psychological effects are perhaps more powerful than the physical ones. Addicts often use it to sort of self-medicate feelings of depression. Nothing in the world bothers someone who is high. They use it as an escape from the disappointing realities of life.

To get an idea what heroin feels like, take the best day in your sober life, and amplify it by ten. The problem is that it doesn't last long, and that's why getting addicted is so easy.

It can make you sick and addicted. heroin

Somebody once described it to me as like being back in the womb and I thought that summed it up pretty well.

When you smoke it the effects can come on slowely like getting stoned off weed. you feel relaxed, sociable, a bit 'floaty' and warm. The more you smoke the more 'floppy' your body feels, your eyelids get too heavy to keep open and you drift between being awake and unconscious, usually experiencing a mixture of thoughts, dreams and outside stimulus for ten minutes, an hour...four hours.

When you inject into a vein its like getting everything at the same time, the warmth spreads through you like custard being poured into a rubber glove. your skin gets sensitive like when you orgasm, everything tingles and you get waves of pure, warm, safe, bliss that eventually subside into a feeling of just being in a buble, a womb, protected and comfortable and warm and safe from everything.

Answer 4

I Imediatley taste the heroin in my mouth upon release of constricted blood flow a.k.a ( tying off) and with the taste at the same time comes this rush of euphoria, and "floaty" feeling. easily compared to whena doctor injects any decent opiate into a patients bloodstream through a iv drip system. a general rush thatcan be extremely overwhelming and may sometimes cause me to vomit. "I cant hold anything down" i think to myself as the heroin high pulsatesthrough my body in waves...almost like its breathing inside of me. keeos flushing me with this light woozy faintish feeling...not all there...eventually coming to a point of relaxation where you dont even feel the nausea nor care about the constant vomiting at all.

In a complete state of euphoria now, feeling more and more tired...want to just close my eyes and lay back....EXTREMELY relaxed...content...whole...warm..tingly..

THEN I WAKE UP. SICK VOMIT PAIN ANXIETY TERROR. DO NOT EVER DO OPIATES.
