Hi, I’m Working on a Book but I Need Some Questions Answered About Drugs?

Question by This Is Chriss: Hi, I’m working on a book but I need some questions answered about drugs?
In my book one character, John, is abusive and a drug abuser. In one chapter he has a bad hallucination from shrooms, I was planning on him reaching for the heroin to calm his mind but are these deadly together? I don’t want to make a mistake in my book nor do I want to kill this character off. Any other information concerning relationship abuse, drugs and effects, or drug addiction would be great too. Thank you!

Yes, heroin would calm you down, also I would suggest reading a book called Tweak by Nic Sheff. It’s Nic’s autobiography about being a drug addict and alcoholic. His drug of choice is crystal meth and his book is very detailed about his drug use. I would recommend it as a good source for a personal experience on drug use.
