The idea behind this guide is that if you choose to inject drugs in pill form, you are going to want to know how to filter out the inactive ingredients which are undesirable, and are potentially hazardous to your health.

To use this guide, first, find the list of inactive ingredients for the tablet(s) you are considering to shoot in the list below. I have posted quite a few commonly injected pills, if what you are planning on injecting is not listed, please let me know. If you can find out the inactive ingredient information, this would help everyone else out that is going to want to know as well.

Next, look at the statistics listed below for each inactive ingredient in the pill (or syrup, etc). There are two things to consider that I have listed here. Water solubility, and particle size.

Compacted cotton yields pores that will filter 50um and larger particles out of a solution.
Micron filters will filter out particles that are the same pore size listed and larger particles out of a solution. The micron filters I use in the example in the Micron Filtering Mega Thread and FAQ are 0.22um. They are multi-layered (to prevent the finest layer from clogging), but the finest pore size is 0.22um.

It is important to research each inactive ingredient, to make sure it is going to be filtered out. Some inactive ingredients like talc or crospovidone can be very dangerous when injected.

Finally, I would like to give thanks to Tchort for his excellent thread, because it served as a good starting point for this thread.

Starch becomes soluble in water when heated. The granules swell and burst, the semi-crystalline structure is lost and the smaller amylose molecules start leaching out of the granule, forming a network that holds water and increasing the mixture's viscosity. This process is called starch gelatinization.

One last note...

I would like to point out that the information I have gathered here, specifically the particle size for inactive ingredients, is not concrete. Often I have ranges listed, and I am not sure if these ranges listed represent what are in pills.

I have listed each source next to the numbers, so that you can do more research if you are interested in doing so. More research is always welcome.
 
so helpful....THANK YOU C.H.-your contributions to Bluelight are so amazing. You help so many people,trust me. And with the time you take to complete guides like this,you make my research so easy!!!
I don't know how you get it all done,but whatever you are doing,KEEP IT UP!!!

Much Peace and Love............skillz<3
 
i will agree, this post will help so many people.....probably more than you could know........
 
wow great thread. i have needed something like this too look back on in a pinch. helpful as hell thanks
 
Captain, you provide outstanding information to everyone here on BL and by doing so, you are potentially saving countless lives or at the least saving countless people from possibly health issues by informing us all on safe drug use practices. You collect all this info and list it here in an easy to read guide, so that many people who don't have the time or patience to do so themselves are given the chance to see it and save themselves from possible harm.

You really should get some award for this. The BL award for Achievements in the Field of HR.

P.S. Just a thought on what could be added to this, maybe you could give a little info on how hazardous each ingredient might be when injected. I imagine some of these aren't anything to worry about, while others could cause serious harm if they are injected. I'm not thinking of anything too in depth, but maybe a rating of Not Hazardous, Mildly Hazardous or Very Hazardous could be very helpful in deterring people who might otherwise not realize the consequences of abusing these medications via IV.

Thanks! :)

I have definitely thought about expanding this thread to include another post about why each inactive ingredient is harmful, with links to the Case Studies thread for examples, etc. I think that doing this will help people differentiate between harmful and safe inactive ingredients.

I am also probably going to continue to investigate pharmaceutical inactive ingredients in ampules, etc, to determine what inactives are already used in products for IV, as to determine which ones are already "safe" or deemed safe for this use.
 
Links to the Case Studies thread will definitely get people to realize the dangers of shooting particular pills. I made my gf look through that and she was horrified. I of course did this as punishment for telling me that ecstasy puts holes in your brain......

Anyways, links may be a bit much to do for each ingredient, especially since it'd be hard to find pictures related to any of them, since most cause damage internally, but I think some sort of rating would be really helpful in getting people to recognize how dangerous shooting certain pills are.

Bravo CH, Bravo! =D I look forward to further reading as this thread is expanded. I too would be interested to see some sort of information listed in regards to the level of safety associated with IV'ing each inactive. This would assist me, & countless others even further, but again, I thank you for your continuing time & effort. You're the best!
 
Thanks to loulou reed for providing information on Rohypnol!

Thanks Subox0wned! I would like to add in additional information, especially if there are certain inactive ingredients that are used in IV solutions (if so I would also like to include how much is typically in an ampule).

I am not sure, the only thing is that you make sure the ethanol is diluted enough (I have a feeling it is but am not 100% sure).

If you do this, you will want to know proper IM technique - and you may also want to micron filter it anyways.
