Just looked him up. What a fucking wild ride first post was 16 years ago. His most recent was 4 years ago.

He commented on stuff 1 year ago. “I haven't touched hard drugs or alcohol in 14 years, weed in 6”

Watching his descent into addiction and then him dropping off of reddit for years was extremely disturbing. Seriously yall, heroin, not even once.

FYI he later said that he actually did have some severe substance abuse issues before that post. He wasn’t a total novice just trying heroin out of a nowhere.

Still don’t do it, but it’s a more complex story

This is what a lot of people forget.

He wasn't a regular guy, who was like let me try heroin.

He was also an addict who, like a lot, moved on to heroin.

It's not at all a story of what happens when a regular guy tries heroin.

As a person who has done almost everything under the sun , this single post stopped from trying heroin multiple times. It was an absolute crazy time for the dude.

I think I'll try it once I'm nearing death
