VIDEO: What it’s Like to do Heroin

In the below video, a Reddit user describes from personal experience what it’s like to try heroin for the first time and become dependent on it. Unlike the scare tactics used in middle school drug education programs, this description of heroin doesn’t gloss over the drug’s pleasurable effects before delving into the dire consequences. Just like the drug itself, the video takes the viewer from a feeling of safety and contentedness to a world of utter chaos and loss of control.
