Most Heroin junkies just sort of get 'doped up' after they shoot up. We know this, and generally know how they behave.
However, there is a small percentage of Junkies, all seemingly female for some reason, that exhibit completely different behaviour after they shoot up. They bend and contort their bodies in weird, strange ways. Like really fucking weird ways. They make weird fucking faces, and just exhibit the most bizarre movements, facial expressions and behaviours.
My question is, why the fuck do they do this? What's the pharmacology behind this?

Again, doesn't make much sense to me, but I am not a Heroin junkie.
And Google has ZERO hits in regards to this search.

He is currently on methadone and trying to sort himself out I'm glad to say, but getting off the brown is a long, difficult process because once that nasty drug gets hold of you, you are dependent on it.
The addiction factor is primarily the reason why I have never ever tried the stuff, or ever will for that matter, because I have seen first hand the chaos it causes.

The relapse rate is as high as 98%. Basically you're hooked for life, if you like the drug.
I have tried all illicit drugs, but none of them have ever managed to taken hold. The reason? I like to get my drink on! And all drugs interfere with my beer drinking pleasure time! That's the truth!

Snorted cocaine three times, didnt feel much from it
Smoked pot a few times, made my stomach feel terrible so I stopped
and drank a lot in college and continued into my twenties
I don't do any drugs anymore, I rarely drink alcohol, maybe ten to fifteen beers a year.
My only addiction is to diet Dr pepper.

True that, once you feel that high you are going to want to experience it again, which is yet another reason why I would never dabble with heroin.
Combine that with the physical addiction side of it, and it makes me truly believe it's the worst drug in existence.

Oddly, the other drug that creates a physical dependency is alcohol.
Drug use and dependency is a health issue, not a criminal issue.

Thats good, I gave up soda 5-6 years ago. I use to drink Mountain Dew, like a 6pack a day. Realized it was harming my gut, so I switched to Ginger Ale. Then I got on a health kick, quit soda for good. I still have some ginger ale if I catch a cold.

Er..where does 'shine fit into this health kick?Quote from: "Bricktop"
By reducing stress and upping positive emotions, I wind up reducing risk of a heart attack
Back when I did kick into the health thing, I quit various things, at one month intervals. No alcohol wasnt so bad for a month, because I only drank on the weekends at the time anyway. But then you hear a drinking song or something, and its on lol! My alcohol drinking increased over the past few years, like 2-3 nights of the week I might have just a few sips, but Saturday night, and most Saturday nights ever, I usually drink to have a good time. Plus I'll throw in one day out of the week I might have a half dozen shots. So yeah, every day but Tuesday

It just becomes a routine. What once started out as fun ends up in addiction. Or a pain killer from a surgery. Like they say, "what goes up, must come down"...that is addiction...thw high from alcohol and drugs is a big stimulation on the brain and body...it feels good...but once it leaves the system, you start to come down...you crash...feel like ultimate shit...the only way to get rid of the horrid feeling is to drink again or do drugs...whatever the addiction is...it makes a person "feel better"...mostly they just continue to bypass going thru the withdrawal stage...that is a hard fight.
With addiction, there are only 2 choices, either get clean or die.

Now almost 10 mo later, I feel so much better. I still have problems with insomnia...which is why I use the weed.

How is it "dangerous?"
Compared to the zopiclone...a legal prescription drug...which cost me my short term memory, dependency to want to use it,...yes, I couldn't wait to take this pill and go to bed. It kept me on a routine, sleep/wake cycle bit really fucked up my mind. The weed has never done that to me at all.

From what I understand, you are an ex cop. And most cops are ignorant in my experience. My sister's significant other is a cop (American) and to be honest, he is the most ignorant cop I have ever met. I don't like the way he talks to my parents and the garbage he puts in their heads. He doesn't talk to me cause I challenge him and won't listen to his bullshit.
Now I just don't bother to go over when both of their dumb asses come over.

I'm not a heavy smoker and still trying to quit. I can smoke max 5 a day. Sometimes I go days without smoking.
I will agree that cigarettes are the worst ever. They are horrible for our health. 2nd hand smoke is no better. I'm not going to try the vape cause I want to switch over from one to another...I just want to quit period. One day I will and I will be done with it.

The media is using too many scare tactics about marijuana. They are making it sound like its worse than street drugs or alcohol. It's so pathetic.
Weed is not dangerous and it's not addicting at all. I don't use it everyday...just when I need to.
Can't you get the candies at a dispensary in your area?
Im in Virginia, its not legalized here yet
My first experience with a dispensary was my trip to Seattle back in May. I loved it lol.

If you mean cigs, I'll tell ya how I quit. I bought me a pinch hitter that looks like a cig. Worked like a charm. Popped a piece of gum when I got a craving while I was working. Getting past the first 2 weeks is the worst, but if you get past 2 months, you're golden. Just dont look back.

The zopiclone I was taking is addictive. I got off of it cause I was tired of it and the side effects I suffered. It wasn't horrible getting off but it threw me off balance. Now almost 10 mo later, I feel so much better. I still have problems with insomnia...which is why I use the weed. I don't want prescription drugs just because they are legal...but weed is going to be legal in 4 months anyway.
Which is another way of saying ALL drugs are dangerous. None are safe, because they are alien to our physiology AND psychology.
Do you smoke?
Do I LOOK like I smoke?
Sheesh.
My addiction is well known to everyone here. It's no secret.

They say it's as addictive if not more compared to heroin yet it's condoned by governments while cannabis is not physically addictive, has loads more health benefits, and it's been illegal for nearly forever. Never made sense to me.

Total taxes paid in Canada last year by tobacco users: $8,390,350,320.
And marijuana will soon be legal here on a Federal level, which should bring a decent tax windfall in also. Not that I really care too much though, since I don't smoke weed.

Some do. Some use it for other purposes. You'd be surprised how many people use it for insomnia.
Some use it to relieve stress, anxiety, fear or pain.
It's helped people with severe Tourettes syndrome.
Cancer patients use it after chemo.
Bunch of different reasons. But if rather people have a few hoots and chill than a few drinks and get whacko.

You're right about all these reasons. Most is why I do it, insomnia and stress being the two on your list.
It also really helps cancer patients during chemo too, because the chemo sucks the appetite out of them and makes them nauseous. The pot takes away the nausea some, and helps with appetite.
