Found 2 burned spoons, what should i do?

I’d confront him.

How did he come to be your roommate? I don’t think I would want to share a home with someone who is using heroin. I’m with loser, confront him.

Oh my, reading this on the heels of my border question – YIKES!

What @loser said.

Also, buy new spoons.

confront him, you are not safe with him doing that! and show him the spoons you have evidence.

Do you know or have contact with someone close to your roommate, like a parent, sibling or friend? I’d tell someone. You shouldn’t have to deal with this alone. I wouldn’t confront a user by myself, even if s/he was a nodder.

Oh God… I’m going to agree that you need to confront him. He needs to know somebody gives a shit.

I need to get my glasses checked. I thought @loser said COMFORT him!

Kick him out.

Make sure you are right. If something bizarre happened like the dry cycle burned the spoons (I know, totally not likely) it would be pretty harsh to confront a clean recovering addict.

I just think it needed to be said. Dude is probably using if you’re finding spoons like that

Yeah, I think I would have to say confront him, also. It is too big a risk for both him and you if he has gone back to using.

Quickly: burn two forks and a knife. Ask him if he’s noticed anything different about the cutlery.

Depending on how close you are to the person I might say to confront them. If you are not that close to the person, I would seriously consider talking to someone that is close to them and sit down with your roommate and that person.
If you are close to the roommate confront them, but don’t expect that you are going to get the truth from them.
Odds are if you found a spoon and it was burnt black on the bottom and there is residue in the spoon, there is no mistaking what is going on. FYI it doesn’t have to be heroin that your roommate is shooting up, it can be most any drug, pill or heroin, but I think that is beside the point.
Your roommate needs help, you might or might not be the one that can get them to seek it, but you should try.

If you are going to continue to live with the person, be very careful, getting poked by a dirty needle is a possibility

I have to say that confronting a possible heroine addict does not sound like a safe idea.
People on extreme drugs are often unreliable and can be dangerous when confronted. This may not be a violent or dangerous person but drugs alter a person’s personality.

I believe you should get some help in dealing with this. If you feel it is appropriate you may just casually ask if they are doing drugs or even set the spoons on the counter to see if the person responds. Do not make any judgments or have any further conversation at that time. If after that brief interaction you still believe your roommate is on drugs it is time to seek help. Speak with a friend or family member of yourself or your roommate. Also speak to a crisis counselor (every town has one and there are tons of 1–800 #s on how to approach the situation). And you may want to speak to a lawyer or research renters rights. If your roommate truly is on drugs you may not want to live with them any longer and you will need to know what your options are.

Confronting someone on drugs is a serious issue and shouldn’t be taken lightly. IMO.

I’d say buy forks, and start eating Miniwheats. [they soak up all the milk!]

But really, I sympathize with your situation – and a confrontation is the best way to handle it. If you tiptoe around, he’s going to realize that you actually know about his habit at some point – and the longer you don’t say anything actually makes him stronger.

If you nip it in the bud – he will know that he’s the one who will have to walk like… there’s broken glass on the floor? [I’m sorry, it’s too late for me…]

When you get home ask him casually “Hey man, you got some Crack??” If he says yes, then let him know it can kill him or cause severe health problems. That’s easy right.

Well i left the 2 spoons on the counter once i found them, i found one a few months ago and did the same thing. The only question he asked about that was“where did you find that spoon?”

He was a random matched roommate but ive known him now for about a year and a half. The neighbor from upstairs, myself and my roommate used to hang out and smoke weed all the time but then when we stuck with Weed my roommate moved on to coke, then pills and now this.

Honestly i dont want to confront him because its really not my problem. I know im gonna say something and hes probably gonna brush it off. I believe people have a choice to pick their poison, hes 21 he knows what he is doing.

I just dont want him to OD in our place then they come find my bong =\

@Triiiple: I do find it funny that your concern with him ODing is that they might find your bong, not that your roommate might die or be seriously injured. You should confront him about it, in the most non-judgmental manner possible (if people feel like you are judging or berating them, they will typically get defensive and abrasive). Let him know that you do understand that he is a grown man and can make his own choices regarding consumption of substances, but that it is not okay for him to do it in the apartment. If it becomes more of an issue, if he doesn’t agree, figure out a legal way to get out and move on. Chances are, if he’s shooting up or freebasing off spoons in your apartment, he’s not doing it alone, and he’s putting you and himself in serious danger in terms of your medical health and safety, as well as your legal safety.

@TitsMcGhee thats the crazy thing. we went to Miami once and he would make comments like “man i really needed this break, all i do is sit in my room and do pills and stuff”. hes also commented when we went to a weed dealer (apparently the pill one lived there too) he said “i hate that guy, he takes advantages of peoples addictions”.

so i think he knows he has a problem and i feel like sometimes he wants me to mention it but i dont want to impose. a friend of mine also told me when they were drunk riding home together he told him “i dont want to live like this anymore, you just dont know”.

i just really dont want to have to deal with the issue of a grown man and his addiction to something. him paying rent or anything doesnt effect me, we were matched roommates in a college housing complex so if he doesnt pay thats on him, thats why i really dont feel its my responsibility. he already got caught with weed once here and had to go to drug counseling for it.

forgot to mention he comes over with this friend that i know he does pills with, im sure its the same person hes doing this with.

@Triiiple – I had roommates in college who did drugs. They also did damage to the University-owned apartment we were assigned to. The University didn’t care who actually did the damage. We were all assessed an equal share. They also, for various reasons, hid their drugs in my stuff. Fortunately, I found it all before the Resident Mother did.

So I wouldn’t sit around thinking “if he doesnt pay thats on him.” You might be rudely surprised.

I know he’s 21, but his parents would still want to know. Call them and rttell them tehy need to come rescue their son. Let them handle the intervention. If he is away from home they probably have no idea.

I dont know his parents, ive met them a few times but dont have their numbers. His sister lives in the area but i only see her at big events when we go out drinking.

@Triiiple If you don’t want to confront him then don’t. I don’t really think it’s a good, or safe, idea anyhow. But perhaps you can put in for a roommate change, if you tell them what’s up I doubt they will deny you (you don’t have to be specific just say suspected drug and destruction of property use makes you uncomfortable).
