Heroin is a psychotropic drug. It slows down the rate at which information is sent from the brain to the rest of the body, giving users a feeling of deep relaxation. Heroin is a derivative of opium, which has a pleasurable and pain-relieving effect.
Sexual consent means that we can freely decide to participate in sexual activities. This consent must be clearly agreed upon between both parties before starting any activity involving sex, and must be able to change our minds at any time.
However, the effects of drugs can impair your ability to judge and make decisions. Therefore, before letting someone join your hi-fun or before you join someone else’s hi-fun, everyone who joins should set boundaries on sexual activities, especially what can and cannot be done during sex.
Remember, sex without the other person’s consent is rape, and rape and sexual assault are crimes.
If you don’t know how to tell your partner, listen to this song by Milli before the hi-fun.
If you are the one who organizes the hi-fun, you are responsible for making sure that no one is forced to join the hi-fun without their consent.
Heroin is usually taken by injection or smoking.
There is no safe level of drug or substance use. All substances carry risks, so caution must always be exercised when using them, especially illegal drugs. Heroin takes effect almost immediately when injected into the bloodstream. If consumed by smoking, the effect will be slower. The effect of heroin on each person depends on many factors, including:
– The user’s weight
– The user’s physical and mental health
– The frequency of use
– Using with other drugs or substances, such as prescription drugs
– The amount used
– The purity of the drug (which illegal drugs often do not have standards)
The effects of heroin use last for 3 to 5 hours. Users often experience the following symptoms:
– Feeling euphoric
– Relaxed to the point of being drowsy, drowsy
– Nausea and vomiting
– Tongue-twisting, slow speech
– Slow breathing, slow heart rate
– Constricted pupils
– Decreased appetite
– Decreased sexual desire
– Red face, red skin, itching, sweating
The effects of long-term heroin use include:
– Anxiety, paranoia
– Depression, depression
– Lack of sexual desire
– Impotence and possible infertility
– Heart and lung damage
– Liver and kidney dysfunction
– Risk of stroke
– Drug addiction
After using heroin for 2-3 days, you will feel irritable and depressed. This is because heroin has a strong stimulating effect on brain chemicals. If used excessively, it can damage certain brain structures. When this stage occurs, the user will not feel the high like when first using it, so the dosage must be increased gradually until eventually becoming addicted to the drug.
Heroin is a highly addictive substance. If used regularly for 2 to 3 weeks, your body will develop a tolerance to the drug, so you will need to gradually increase your dose to get the same effects and feelings as when you first started. Heroin also carries a risk of death from choking on your vomit. Because the drug relaxes your body and suppresses coughing, when you vomit, food particles can get stuck in your airway, causing suffocation and death. If you plan to use any drug or substance, do it safely. You choose what you put into your body, but no matter what you choose, make sure it is safe and will have the least impact on you and others. Here are some tips for you:
– Set boundaries for yourself and stick to them.
– Don’t let others force you to use drugs.
– Avoid mixing or combining drugs, or if you really want to do it, do your research first.
– Always remind yourself of what drugs you are taking and how much.
– Eat before you start a party, and always stay hydrated.
– If you are going to go out on a special night, leave your ATM card at home. Set limits on your spending. And don’t forget to save money for the fare home. – Tell a trusted friend what you’re going to do.
– Don’t drive your own car or motorcycle if you think you’re going to be high that night.
– If you’re feeling high but driving your own car, leave your car at the shop and take a taxi or GrabCar home, then come back to get it the next day when you’re sober. Or you can use the YouDrinkIDrive app, which will send a driver to drive you home.
– Set your best friend’s number as an emergency number, in case they want to pick you up on a day when you’re high and alone. Apple phones can set up speed dials to emergency numbers immediately. If you have an iPhone, make sure to use it to its full potential.
If you decide to use injection, make sure that the equipment you are using is clean. Do not share needles or injection equipment with others, as this can increase the risk of blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B, C, and HIV. You may not be able to see blood on the needle or syringe, but it may be on your skin, hands, or even on the table. So, just because you can’t see blood doesn’t mean it won’t come out. Always wash your hands and disinfect the area where you will be injecting. Injecting and sharing injection equipment with others can put you at risk of: – Damaged blood vessels and permanent scarring
– Infection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus, and HIV
– Blood clots, which can cause paralysis, organ damage, stroke, and even death if you reuse a needle. Learn how to clean a needle at [insert testBKK blog on “how to clean a used needle”]
Heroin use carries a risk of fatal overdose. Drugs produced illegally and sold on the black market vary in purity, but are often mixed or diluted with substances that are harmful to the body.

– Drowsiness to the point of falling asleep
– Low blood pressure
– Slow breathing
– Dark blue lips, fingers, and toes
– Loss of consciousness
