Poll: Would you try heroin if it were legal?

The thing is that I don't trust heroin. One bad batch and you're pushing up daisies.
If heroin would become legal, then there will undoubtedly also be a massive amount of quality checks.
I am curious, but I am not gonna take the risk just to satisfy my curiosity.

No. That shit ruins your life. I'd probably try every drug out there except H and Meth. Besides, from what I've read, the positive effects of those drugs don't actually seem that great to me. At least when you stack them up against Acid/Weed/MDMA, which are all awesome.
I have already tried Marijuana, Acid, Nitrous without a hitch. I'll be trying MDMA soon. That will cross off most of the drugs I've wanted to try. DMT/Salvia/2c-b/Shrooms also interest me.
Interestingly enough, playing video games on Acid was incredible.

Maybe, but it's not it's legality that holds me off, it's the reputability of drugs dealers. If I was to try it, it'd be a nice ultra-safe dosage, from a very reputable regulated source, and it'd be only a maybe then, a unique one off thing, with friends. Maybe smoking opium rather than shooting up heroin, which, while introducing new risk factors, it has a more casual, recreational vibe to it.
Heroin is very safe if it's genuinely just heroin, and you are injecting intravenously, a weighted dosage unique to you, by someone who has experience injecting it. Unlike with alcohol and hallucinogens, you are very unlikely to do anything dangerous while under it's influence. Addiction and consequential long term usage is definitely destructive to the greatest extreme we see with drug abuse.
It seems like I'm being condescendingly specific here but it should be noted that I'd amend those qualifications with, that you aren't sensitive to opiates and aren't using medication that could have fatal interactions with opiates. It also helps that, whenever using any drug, you're somewhere safe and feel comfortable (especially important with hallucinogens). Exhibiting excellent self control and strength of will is obviously important, because, while you won't be addicted after the first time (with heroin), you will likely want to use again, and being able to self-enforce it was a "one-off" thing is important to enjoying that.
Having someone on hand who knows what to do in the case of accidental overdose is always good too. Too many people die because their friends panic and deal with the situation badly. If we had reliable source of clean heroin for recreational use, that were properly prepared for the individual using them, to safe ranges, then that shouldn't be of issue at all. But nothing is without risk.

You took my response so I'll just agree. The most harmful thing I put into my body is trans-fats, saturated fat, baconaise and, caffeine. As for Heroine...A Weary Exile said:
Heroin, or diactylmorphine, is still used in hospitals as an analgesic. There is such thing as a controlled dose.kinapuffar said:
I don't even drink. 
I don't religiously avoid alcohol or anything, but the idea of chemically altering my experiences does not appeal to me.

No, a million times no. A substance's legal status isn't what I use to decide whether I'll try it or not I just know that heroin, crack and meth are evil and completely destroy the majority of people's lives who choose to get involved with them.
I drink maybe once every two months and have never tried anything else. Just seems pointless. Also, huge fear of needles. Oh and Pulp Fiction. Yeah she did it wrong but needles are awful.
I've heard enough about heroin and its effetcs, to know thatI will never touch it. Similarly with cocaine, but that has the added effect of supporting the South American cartels, some of the most evil bastards I've heard of. So no, alcohol, occasional tobacco, and the very, very occasional use of weed is as far as I'll go. LSD interests me, but I doubt I'll try that.
What is this, some new meme?faspxina said:
What? No. Why the fuck would I?
I'd do any currently legal substances as well as probably Weed if I get the chance to try it, but I'm not going to go that overboard. I'd draw the line at anything more dangerous than Mushrooms.

Your opinion is irrelevant. What about some sources to back up such a sensationalist claim?
As far as most studies and scientists are concerned nicotine is a chemically addictive drug, with very clear physical withdraw symptoms. So come on, back up your bullshit mate.
Ever drank coffee? Tea? Coca Cola? How about had a prescription from the doctors? Ignoring the obvious ones, most medicines you apply to a part of your body (such as a remedy for a blocked nose or hay fever) will include Steroids.SovietX said:
Why do you have no desire to use a drug? The definition of a drug is a substance that alters the human body in some way when taken. I guarantee you have probably had a drug in your system at least once a week. Hell, your body produces it's own drugs. If we take those into account then you're on a drug at least once a day, or whenever you're excited, sad, or injured.
It's definitely the sort of thing I would consider during my depressive episodes. I get pretty desperate for any sort of temporary reprieve, even if I know I'm making it worse in the long run. I'm the same when it comes to any significant amount of pain.
