70? People these days are still in good shape at 70, I don’t know what age you are but by the time you reach 70 you’ll probably be today’s 60 years old! I don’t think we’ve got that many users on here that are over 60!

Never tried heroin.
If, by some unfortunate circumstance, I survive to 70, I am doing ALL the heroin!

I work in hospice and have seen patients (and family members) 90+ who I could have mistaken for late 60s - early 70s. I also recently met a patient’s wife who was 20 years younger than him, but was in worse shape and looked his age (82) if not older. Genetics and life experience are wild.

I believe that everyone should smoke, drink, and enjoy the occasional hard drug- just start when you're 75 or 80. Fucking party on the way out.

What it gonna do, kill you?

Spoken like a true 20 year old who has no concept of what health at 75 does to you. The alcohol hangovers will last multiple days, you might have a lung condition that prevents any smoking, your circulation will massively shit the bed off any stimulants (think racing heart, cold sweats, anxiety, feeling weak) and opioids… well, opioids might be mostly okay except for the constipation I guess.

constipation, infection, mentally absent, stopping breathing, the crippling pain of withdrawals…

Hi, I treat people with SUDs and many of them are in their 60s, some older. Nothing ruins lives like heroin. Nothing. People just want to enjoy their final years with family but addiction rips them away. People lose limbs to heroin. People lose minds.

Of all the things to get clean for, your own funeral.
Humans are odd.

Stay clean, not “get” clean.

I agree wholeheartedly. My wife and kid have a standing order that should I get dementia, I am to be left in the woods very far from civilization. And just to make that less likely, On my 70th birthday I will be buying the fastest available motorcycle. And no helmet. Which theoretically should have me reduced to a wet smear on the pavement in short order.
The worst thing I can think of is for me to be a burden on my loved ones.

You are not accounting for your changing appetite and priorities though. Willing to bet heroine sounds much less appealing then than now. Maybe stop holding back so much and just do a little heroin now?
Also, check out the 99PI podcast on the Model Village - it might give you some hope for better options, but I’m not too excited as our species and especially my country are pretty good bout fucking these kinda things up.

Do a little heroin now, as a treat!
