Heroin Fact/Quote Sampler "It's this weird thing with smack. First off it makes you feel so good. But after a bit, after your body gets used to it, it stops working like that. You start needing it just to stay normal...Then you get sick of it and give it up for a few days. And that's the really nasty thing because then, when you're clean, that's when it works so well."
