Da Burglar can probably attest, intravenous use is hardcore and wasn't really a staple of '90s addiction until people went around the bend on it. There was actually a myth back then that you couldn't get hooked if you just inhaled (chasing the dragon) and stayed away from needles altogether. Of course, for a junkie anything but shooting up is a waste of product, they all eventually use needles if my high-class clientele is any guide.

Frankly, if I came down with a potentially fatal STD and people were openly speculating that I sucked a dirty syringe rather than Wallice's Dick of Death, I might be a bit huffy too. I have no clue what's the truth, I don't know any of these people, but I could see how she would be touchy about it if that wasn't true.




Yeah Arab, true more or less: the smoking/sniffing of "H" took off circa 1992, purity levels increased anywhere from 5 to 7 fold. The stigma of needles was removed and all of us white upperclass hypocrites could indulge without feeling....*gasp*...like a skid row bum. Of course, right after River Phoenix failed in his performance as an actual..."Phoenix"...and didnt 'rise' up from passing out in front of the Viper Room on Sunset Blvd in late 1992 (after snorting Smack with the red hot Chili Peppers), existing junkies and naive white suburbia alike joined hands and said "Ooooooh yeah, gotta have that shit!"

Well, lacking anything better to do this afternoon, I posted to this thread to share my observances based on Smuts original question only, speculating on her Heroin use.
Linking the heroin to her HIV was not my intention/speculation, and I agree with you that if people are attributing her HIV to a needle full of Mexican Brown rather than Wallice's Needle-dick full of Viral-DNA-Run-Amok, she should be pissed.

That being said, Tricia was hot during her heyday, exhibiting a debauched gothic heroin decadence that worked really well in her porn scenes.


*sidenote* I Fucking hate cats....<looks over to Kyoto's litterbox>
