Heroin Usage Signs?

When someone is using, and is on the downside of the high, can they or do they sleep for days without being aware of being asleep for as much as 3 days, not waking up for food, or even to use the bathroom? Also, if givin an "on the job" drug test (whatever it is they do on the spot), will it show heroin use?

sounds more like crystal meth to me. especially the extreme fatigue

I don't know about the sleeping, but the tests they use are sensitive enough that eating poppyseed rolls can make you test positive.

Yea thats a meth problem .
