Well this is the catch. Not sure there is a definition as such. In my experience though, most heroin users have been introduced to the concept of escapism through drugs via cannabis. However, this is now very much changed as it is rare to find an opiate addict that was not or still is a crack user also.


Crack is now definitely the pre cursor to an opiate addiction, but I still beleive that cannabis has been in the past. Of course, not for everybody but the link is there and is strong.


I am seeing skunk causing it's own problems now, with levels of inertia and paranoia caused by quite shocking and akin to a pretty strong class A habit.


It is really sad watching people rot there lives away like this! :(

As I said before there is far to much THC in skunk. I don't like it and don't smoke it. I smoke natural herbs. Not some bastardized modified crop. With crack users they need to come down and the perfect thing for that is smack and I guess if not then super strong skunk. Both heroin and crack are shit drugs. Loser drugs. Both highly addictive and will seriously fuck you up. Just say no kids.

Sorry Jah, but having worked with heroin users for the last 15 years I can safely say that cannabis is very, very often a gateway drug and still is.



I know lots of people who have, and still do smoke cannabis,


I don't know any smack heads, which makes one wonder what percentage cross over to heroin.

That is just ignorance on his part,

does he not know the correct procedure,

first it's fags and booze,

then a bit of puff or cannabis,

and then coke

and finally smack or crack,

its simple enough,

tsk tsk some people make heavy weather of the simplest tasks.


These heroine addicts would sell your furniture, or mug their own mother to get their fix. Totally untrustworthy.

A friend of mine had two bad experiences, first time in Swindon with a water pipe 24 years ago (not a bong they hasten to add), A Fripp and Eno record cover came to life and then they had to walk up and down the Old town unitl the effects wore off.


Then in Manali in Himcachel Predesh in India (I haven't checked the spelling) with a chillum. This time they knew what the effect was and that it would wear off. The other 1000 times nothing like this. It is really hard writing in the third person.

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
