It's sad and pathetic that musicians like Pete Doherty are romanticizing the use of drugs like heroin. Being on heroin is not the most beautiful feeling in the world. If you think about it, it is an insidious poison creeping through your veins, under your skin, finally bathing your heart and brain in it. It sinks its vice-like grip into your very being, and you can't help feeling unclean. It's a dirt that can't be washed away. Even when you slam your hand down and declare, 'I'm giving it up,' you just know there are traces left within you, hiding in the vulnerable folds of your body. It'll catch you at your weakest, attacking with a strength you never thought possible. You'll be yowling like a heartbroken cat for days, your face and body contorted. You'll go right back to it. It knows you will. You are, like a 90's junkie version of Romeo, addicted to being addicted.
One other thing - heroin makes you constipated. Remember the toilet scene in Trainspotting?
