Dad Teaches Son A Lesson By Shooting All Of His Heroin

Heroin is an acquired taste - or so I'm told.

It's acquired by people who have made terrible life choices, as it apparently gives 'the ultimate high', which isn't repeatable and, if you believe films and the internet, like an orgasm x ten.

Smack is heavily documented in film, music and TV, with most cases always ending in an overdose.

If, for some reason, you're still one of those people who reckon you could try it, or whatever, presumably because you're an idiot, I give you John Frusciante, formerly of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, in 1994, smacked off his tits...

Pretty bad - point being, don't do it.

To show just how destructive the drug is, a man stole his son's stash of brown and took it himself.

23-year-old Maykl Gnatovskiy reportedly found his dad overdosed in their home, prompting him to go straight back to rehab having seen the effects it can have.

"I told him if you're not going to stop, I will do the same as you do," Sergey Gnatovskiy, Maykl's dad, told the New York Post. "I [tried] to send him to rehab. He promised me he was going to go, and I found it again."

The 45-year-old pinched the stash, according to the New York Post, shooting up somewhere he knew Maykl would find him. His son recognised what was happening and so he gave him CPR and used Narcan nasal spray to save his father, reversing the process of what is usually done to him.

"After seeing this I definitely want to go [to rehab]," Maykl said. "I've been doing this since I was 15. I'm 23 now, I can't keep doing this."

It's good that he see's the error of his ways, but at the same time disastrous he found himself in such a way that he thought to turn to heroin.

He was kicked out of his mum's house as a teenager due to his addiction and since then his dad has been trying to help him.

Hopefully, though this is one weird way of getting it across, the message has hit home.

"My son was screaming at me, 'pop, pop, are you crazy, you almost died,'" his dad said.

The New York Post reports that Sergey felt normal again the next day, but doesn't particularly remember the incident, only waking up to "medical people" around him.
