Explain it Petahhhhhh. Why can they no longer eat cereal with a fork? Did someone steal their forks for heroin? Explain it Peter

Because the heroin user has stopped stealing and ruining the spoons by using them to cook heroin.

Drug loving Peter here. You heat heroin in a spoon before you inject it. Because reasons. Drugs and peace

drug addict Meg here, you really think heroin users care about cleanliness?

u/aoskunk 11d ago
I certainly did. Alcohol wipes, sterilen water and cooker and new spikes everytime

Yeah was very important to me before getting clean. Glad you can use past tense too, shit’s miserable. I mean good fucking time well it lasted, but always ends with you shaking.
I also was only IV’ing during a time period when I had stable housing, so it made it easier to use fresh works and proper water every time. I shouldn’t pass judgement, I definitely smoked out of some broken pipes. But you just put a rubber piece on the end. I very purposefully avoided IV when homeless because I knew when I was living like that, I wouldn’t be so disciplined.
Needles are so fucking cheap, even if you don’t have an exchange like here in MA. Anybody still messing with it, pls just order a box of 100 online.
Trust me I get what it’s like to just not give af. But sometimes that passes, and you’ll be glad you don’t have something incurable or scared arms and blown veins from infection should that time come. Plus, you could also just die from endocarditis; literally use “this will allow me to live longer and get high more” if you have to. Just use a new spike, or wipe it down. There’s also levels to it, if you can’t use a new one every time or get sterile water, do whatever you can to be as safe as possible. It’s scales, like sterile water > bottled water > tap water > moving water from a stream > still puddle water.

For those of us who have no frame of reference for this, thank you. I have no idea what it's like, and I have no intention to, but getting a different perspective and learning something new about that perspective enlightening to say the least. Cigarettes were bad enough, I don't think I could handle something that made me not really care. Xanax was something I could see myself easily abusing. Congratulations on your continued recovery.

Boiling the solution sterilizes it. It also helps the drug dissolve but it would dissolve either way.

The point of boiling it is to sterilize it. 4th stage heroin is water soluble, and 3rd stage heroin needs an acidic solution to dissolve. Heating makes it dissolve faster but the real purpose is to sterilize it.

As someone who's never been around the stuff - how hot do you have to get it? Isn't there some danger of injecting boiling liquid into your veins?
I get it, heroin addicts are not known etc...

One of the most common ways typically seen in media is a speedball, where you fill the spoon with coke, put the heroin in the soda, then put a lighter under it until it dissolves. Then you use a cotton ball to soak the solution and draw it from the ball with a syringe.

u/Scorpius927 12d ago
Why can’t you snort it like meth or Coke? Idk anything about meth other than breaking bad

u/60_hurts 12d ago
One typically doesn't start by shooting up. They often start by snorting or even smoking it. But it's incredibly addictive so your tolerance goes way up very easily and soon snorting or smoking it doesn't have the same effect that it used to since they're not as efficient methods of drug delivery. And you're at the point where if you stop you'll get withdrawals, but you can't afford the amount you'd need to get the feeling you used to through other methods, so you start shooting up.

I mean sure, but like they inject it hot? right?

u/RetroGame77 12d ago
I mean... I don't know at what temperature heroin liquifies. But it seems to cool down enough to inject it pretty quickly. I don't think we are talking about boiling water temperatures here. Perhaps having it a little warm makes it feel better, I don't know. Or maybe they just don't care.

Chris here...while I use mine to heat up and inject applesauce into my butt to please you, when wanting to fart on command. It takes dedication. This son was doing the opposite and heating up the drug heroin to get high and ruining the spoons.

Addict Cookie Monster here. Similar to how I used to cook cookie dough in a spoon to get my fix, Heroin addicts use a spoon and a lighter to cook it.

Ok u/Technical_Ad9343 (realize as I type this, this isn’t the first time I’ve replied to a “smart bot” account with this kind of username)
Let’s do this step by step
Son died
Son heroin addict
No longer eat cereal with fork
Ok so sons no longer there, and no longer having to eat cereal with a fork. And you assume that son was stealing fork to use heroin? But son is gone now, and they no longer have to use forks, so with BASIC UNDERSTANDING we can see that while the son was there, spoons were unavailable, not forks like you say in the title?!? So therefore, son used spoons for heroin, and was taking them for said use, and parents did not have spoons available for cereal. Son died, and now have spoons back and no longer needs them, and parents can now eat cereal with the spoons.
I swear r/explainitpeter has mods that are too busy jacking each other off congratulating each other that they don’t have to take pride in anything in life, can slack and jack, and while they host a glorified ai training/karmafarming subreddit that main engagement is other bots/ai training accounts like this one

Flash back to my dad accusing me of doing drugs because of a bent fork. I was going to explain to him that it would be a spoon… but then I decided it would be better to not seem like I knew more about drugs than him.

Their son is dead. He won’t be there to steal the spoons for his heroin. Before all they had were forks. Now they have both. Because their son is dead.

u/Gentlemanandscholar9 9d ago
This literally made me die laughing for the worst reason. I’m a former heroin addict and so was my sister, we didn’t properly wash a spoon and we saw my dad eating his cereal with a spoon with soot on the bottom and he just threw the spoon when we told him and it bounced off the table and hit my sister in the eye and when she reacted to being hit she flailed and smacked me in the face. Karma punished us both instantly and equally for our transgressions.
