Dear Street Carnage,
So i just wanted to tell you that a few weeks ago i was reading your article on heroin and the part that stuck in my mind was that if you see someone really fucked up, you should walk them around the block and you’ve seen that save lives.
Last night i was still high on Adderall i had railed the night before and as a result hadn’t eaten in two days before drinking way too much vodka and rum, then smoking way too much weed close to all at once. I was sitting outside on a bench when i couldn’t feel anything anymore and my hearing filled with ringing and i suddenly felt like my head was completely submerged. I could feel my brain shutting down and i felt like i was about to die, when i remembered what you wrote, and I knew I could trust it. Now i know i was certainly on nothing like heroin, but I definitely had alcohol poisoning and making myself stand up and walk around got my friend’s attention and passing out in her arms before my friends smacked me awake and fed me bread was definitely safer than passing out on the bench, because i don’t know how long it would have been till they realized what was wrong.
Maybe you didn’t save my life, but i am so grateful to you. I’ve been reading your stuff for years and i always thought it was great, but just you taking the time to write that essay might have kept me alive.
Thanks,
ilse cruces

Is this really not obvious? I knew this at that age of 15 if I was too drunk to walk and when you fall on your face your friends know you are actually fucked and probably need a hand or a cup of water or something.

And here I thought that this site was already pretty gay. You sure showed me that there is always gayer.

Would it have killed this guy to capitalize the letter I?

Not capitalizing the “i” is a metaphor for how humble he iz. i obviously got it.

‘reading your article on heroin’. It’s like a gift that keeps on giving!!!

Actually the best thing to do when you friend is high on smack is to roll them down a hill. This will stimulate the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and just might save a life.

Love/Hate how everyone on this site is killing themselves to out-callous everyone else. Sarcasm is so hip.
12.02.08 at 12:22 am
out callous? im not trying to out-callous anyone i just fucking fuck –
people cant talk about doing heroin anymore because it is fucking gay. especially girls: fuck off. “i once had a heroin problem” go fuck yourself. if you were a girl and you had a heroin problem that means you fucking whored yourself out because thats what girls do when they have heroin problems.
if you’re a girl and you want some of that white people street cred then you have to say that you sold your body for drugs, dont want to say it anymore do you?
fuck off fuck off fuck off
i like the little guy with the red moustache though, he’s cool. i dont mind him shooting up drugs either, thats ok. but old people saying they fuck man that makes me angry.
this 15 year olds story upstairs is truely shocking though. next they’ll be writing in saying they almost ran out of pocket money once. can we get some american apparel ads on here please and just be done with it?

@ buttke
no one cares what you think, hater.

Eating bread after you get drunk does absolutely nothing. It does not “soak up the booze” because the alcohol is already absorbed. Throwing up doesn’t help either. Other than getting your stomach pumped in cases of extreme poisoning, there’s nothing you can do except wait it out.

That’s not dying; it’s called “passing out” or “fainting.” It happens to people who smoke weed and then drink a little too much.,

Leave the kid alone.
She’s not trying to make a statement, she’s just being honest.
Snark all you want but I’m glad she’s still alive.

the site has been around for only a year or so, so how the fuck you’ve been reading it for years?
