1: Wash your hands and the injection site
2: Crush up the pill(I usually do it in a CLEAN sheet of notebook paper), and pour it into a CLEAN spoon.
3: For a single pill, you should use about .4 ml (up to the "40" mark on a 1ml syringe) of water, and do NOT mix it with the cap!! Just drop a small balled up piece of cotton into the solution and then move it around using the syringe. DO NOT APPLY HEAT!!
4: Suck up the solution thru the cotton, try to touch the cotton/pill/solution as little as possible with your hands, the cleaner the shot the better..
5: Tie off, register(don't shoot as soon as you see red, pull back the plunger and make 100% sure you are in a VEIN), and push. If you start to feel any sort of pain or burning when you push the plunger stop immediately. If you are feeling pain, something is wrong and even if you proceed with pushing the entire shot into your body, it is very likely that you won't feel anything anyway(this is also how abscesses form).
It is very dangerous to cook your shots when you are using pills. When people cook shots of heroin it is because they are using "tar" which has to be melted down in order to dissolve into the water; dilaudid will dissolve into the water without having to be heated. When you heat dilaudid you are not increasing the potency of the shot, you are only dissolving the inert fillers in the pill, which can be dangerous to your health. Be safe, guys.
