heroin addiction

how much money would the average person addicted to heroin spend per day. just estimate, im curious. lets say he/she has been using for 3 months already.

A lot. I have 2 good friends who used to be dope addicts. One of them had a $200/ day habit. My ex, who was also using was doing about 10 bags a day, which was $100. But it really depends whether you are copping it yourself (Super bad idea) or if you are getting it from a runner (Again, Super bad idea). Uggh..it's such a scary addiction. The money is the least of the problems..
Please be careful..

what are the other problems of a heroin addict, if they were rich, and could afford it. and had enuf money for everything they need.

legal problems, losing your connection (e.g. dealer goes to jail), unknown purity of smack possibly causing overdosage and many others.

lets say, your a rock star and make millions of dollars a year, and will always be connected with good stuff, what are the risks now?

being arrested, getting kicked out of the band cause you're too fucked up on smack all the time (look at guns and roses), and accidental overdosage not to mention destroying the dopamine receptors in your brain which will never come back. and how does this even apply to anyone here?

yeah man, thats all true. guns n roses kick ass, axl and slash were and still are the coolest. axl may have a few problems, but hees a great musician.

Read Up and Down With The Rolling Stones. It goes into great detail about Keith Richards addiction. Even rich rock stars get their connection cut off. Even rich rock stars go through with drawal, sometimes dealers get busted and there just isn't any stuff around. Even rich rock stars get busted.

I've known several long term addicts who worked and supported themselves with a job. when the habit got to expensive, they'd take the california cure- get thrown in jail where they wean you off.
when they got out, they'd started over at a more reasonable amount.

so dinero is the main problem, beside addiction.
