Use has spread tremendously in the last 10 years as cheap, pure product floods the markets, imported by Mexican cartels. Purer products are safe to snort or smoke which make them attractive to broader audiences.
Do you guys know anyone who does it? Have you tried it?

There are apparently lots of people still doing it in NYC:
US agents in New York seized a record-breaking $50 million worth of heroin smuggled from Mexico in the biggest such haul in state history, officials announced Tuesday.
The more than 70 kilos (154 pounds) of heroin was seized from a vehicle parked in an upmarket neighborhood of the Bronx, near Horace Mann, one of America's most prestigious private schools.
The drugs were found in 70 packages labeled "Rolex" in a hidden compartment under the floor of a Chevrolet Suburban, prosecutors said.

"The US-led coalition has rejected any crop eradication operations by its soldiers for fear of bankrupting farmers and forcing them to join the insurgency, a policy criticized by Russia, among others."
Thanks Obama.

This may be anecdotal but two of my old school buddies have died in the last twelve months from this. I'm in the UK.

I have smoked heroin/opium on 5 occasions. I can say hand on heart that i have had great experiences. This was over fifteen years ago. I would never do it again.
Comfortbly Numb:
Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet againRelax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numbI have become comfortably numb
O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sickCan you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go.There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb.

One of only two drugs I'd always swore I'd never touch, just because I was always 99% sure I could never trust myself with it.
It's made quite a resurgence here in London, at least - especially around here In North London where there's a large Turkish community with the import/export means to get it in cheaply.
I've been surprised and disappointed to see its uptake around here, including at least 4 people I know. All younger than I, but not by much.
They're all still alive, but their lives appear to have gone off at the deep end. One is now living in a squat south of the river - a shitty squat, mind, not a 'good one'. He's blown relationships with everyone up here, with his friends, siblings and parents, and .. well, he's not in a good way. A bit of a nob, I thought, but a smart and engaged guy, really.
Another I know is/was a terrifically talented musician. Was always a bit irritating, but essentially a good guy. Similarly, his situation's mired in the doldrums too. He was kicked out of his house a while back, and now has a rep as a thief.
Besides that we've had the ambulances around here a couple of times over the past 6 months, with hushed murmering of "Heroin, innit?"
*shrug*
I'd not willingly touch the stuff, ever. Some things can't be done in moderation, for most people. And I mean '99% most'.

I knew someone, many years ago. Got addicted, went to jail for while, sacrificed a great carrier and spent most of his life trying to get back to par.
Pretty sad.

THANKS OSAMA!!
this comment will probably not be hot enough to melt steal beams, but it was enough for the coalition of the willing to take over the production of opium,
totally disgusting

Don't trust myself with it. Especially when on a down spell. Had a big stint on pethidine when was in hospital once... man... Keep me away from those opiates.

I've done most recreational drugs under the sun but heroin and crack are where I draw the line.
Saying that, I've actually never come across anyone doing heroin in my life. Not once been offered it, not once seen someone doing it. Certainly not as common over in in the UK as I imagine it is in the states.
- eh? its massively common in the UK... you must move in different circles.fadein11

I see people doing it outside my window on a daily basis.
Have had a couple of childhood friends ODed but survived.

Not sure why someone would do it. I guess from being naiive.
- You guess wrong.Morning_star
- It is largely naivete. People think that they can "control" things when, often enough, they can't.formed

The suburban town I live in borders an inner city area where heroin is readily available. Every couple of weeks I read an article about a suburban kid getting shot, robbed or overdosing from drugs purchased in neighboring city. Police are starting to use Narcann now to revive kids on the scene from an overdose which is crazy.
Having two little kids now, the prevalence and ease of access to pills and heroin scares the living shit out of me.
