Hey
@No_more_evry_monday
We get a lot of threads where I feel like a parent trying to prevent the new blood from making the wrong decisions. For instance, if someone comes on asking about injecting Heroin for the first time, my heart tells me to advise them against it, but that's not what we're about.
This is different than the above scenario. Choosing to move to in injection from non-parenteral ROA's
never works out, never. I could feasibly tell someone there's a chance of a happy life with all of the trappings even if they're Heroin-dependent. This scenario is possible. The move to injecting Buprenorphine has always been a devastating mistake that people wish they had never done to begin with.
You'll "get high", if you can really call it that, for 2-3 days at most before your tolerance adjusts making injection a requirement. I know the ol' "well, if that happens, I'll just go back to sublingual!" It's a nice idea, but we know that this is not how the progression of addictioni works. Once you start injecting the shit, you're not gonna stop until someone or something makes you stop.
In addition to the secondary impact on your life and mental health, Buprenorphine is notorious for producing injection complications at a rate highly disproportionate to other drugs or even other injected pills. We have been discussing this phenomenon off and on for over a decade now. Research and my conversations with users lead me to believe with conviction that there is something in the Buprenorphine that is causing these complications. Is it filler? Dye? The Buprenorphine itself? I don't know. I only know that both the sublingual strips and tablets both seem to cause similar reactions.
It's not a joke. I knew a couple who started injectiung Bupe. Within a year, they were injecting compulsively like every couple of hours chasing the high. I remember the first time the dude showed me the wound on his leg that he was injecting into. I'm not squeamish at all. That wound almost made me vomit. He openly discussed the possibility of losing his leg. This was not enough to make him stop. He was seriously injecting while discussing whether he would use a manual or electric power chair to get around after the leg came off, as opposed to, you know, trying to stop the injections and save his leg.
So yea, I highly advise against this. For your own good, please just listen to me. Go back right now before you get yourself too fucked up. Whatever happens, mark my words, you will regret making the decision to start injecting Buprenorphine.
PS The "high" that you will receive from the higher total potency will be like getting flushed and warm for ~5 minutes post injection. Like an incomplete happy ending, you're gonna feel that little bit of warmth and you're naturally going to chase it until the end of the line.
