Hi everyone.
I do apologize for no updates up until now, a few internet issues as well as time management, resulted in a delayed response.
Ok, so for the experience –
Finally managed to get some gear after a long search with failed attempts.
What I did –
I went to a chemist and asked for a ‘Fit Pack’, got one
A few days later when the right time came and I was ready, I begun preparing.
Have to admit I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, many paranoid thoughts kept rolling thru my head like – Am I now officially classified as a junkie as I’m sticking needles into my arms? What would my other recreational drug using friends say about this, they never IV’ed and they’re happy…..Anyways, that was just me, and I totally expected it anyway.
So I was sitting in the kitchen, I unpacked everything from the Fit Pack, got the gear out ect…and I had to put on the heater lol…this was due to the nervousness…I all off a sudden felt cold, I knew I would not bring any veins up this way and I could forget it.
So I walked away for a few moments and tried relaxing. I ran my whole arm under the laundry tap with warm-hot water for about 2 minutes, this proved to be a good idea and it helped.
I took out a flat kitchen-butter knife and ran the kettle, then I ran the boiling water over that knife and over the little plastic spoon that came in the Fit Pack just to be safe as that lil plastic spoon isn’t wrapped or anything so its not sterile.
I put some meth into the spoon when it cooled, added the injectable water from the Fit Pack (about 4 drops) and used the knife to crush it all up because when I poured the water over the meth, chunks of crystals just sat there, they wouldn’t dissolve until I picked at them with the knife. After all was dissolved nicely, I sucked everything up with the provided syringe (1ml BD Ultra-Fine 29G x ½”) then let the air bubbles out and pushed the plunger a bit until a few drops came out.
Still a bit nervous, I once again went to warm my arm up, plus cleaned the injecting area with soap and water.
Moment of truth –
I sat down, and let my arm hang there for a bit…At this point I questioned the tourniquet and whether I should use it or not (well belt actually)…In the end, I did not end up using it, as doing all this your self is too difficult and its hard enough controlling the needle and keeping things steady, little alone unclipping the belt/tourniquet.
So, I swabbed the vein with the isopropyl alcohol & aimed the needle as instructed (so the very tip is facing down, and the hole inside the needle is facing up) and inserted it in on an angle. It seemed to go in ok, but when I pulled back to see if I’m inside correctly and to see if I would bring up the ‘thick red blood’ this didn’t happen…..I pulled out straight away, wiped the area and chilled for a moment. I still admit I was nervous, in fact after the first failed attempt, I began shaking….this didn’t help too much as one can imagine.
I tried again, this time, the blood did draw back better….I proceeded to continue and slowly pushed on the plunger….Suddenly, I felt a painful sting!…I knew this was not right and quickly pulled out again…
My suspicion is that I was still not in correctly, luckily I only pushed on the plunger a tiny bit, so if I did skin pop, hardly anything went in.
It was still stinging when I pulled out, luckily no lump was formed (and all my puncture marks healed very quickly with no problems I am happy to report)
So at this point I already jabbed my self twice and I had no results, I was beginning to wonder if this was the way to go……then I looked at my other arm, and noticed a much better vain formation, my other arm had 2 bigger, protruding veins. I knew this would serve as an advantage.
Finally, on my third attempt, I went in smoothly half way and it felt like I was in correctly, I pulled back, thick red blood sucked up and I slowly proceeded to continue on, finishing up with everything injected in.
Pulled out, wiped the area gently and put a band aid on the area.
Afterwards – So, for that talked about “Rush” I have to say it wasn’t quite what I was expecting.
First of all the onset wasn’t that overpowering (the next 2 times I IV’ed I increased the dosage and although I could definitely feel the drug, it wasn’t like it blew me away) but I dunno, maybe the gear wasn’t super 100% either, all I know is - I IV’ed a max of 70 units of meth and water combined , I was definitely high with out any onset super mind-blowing rushes, (perhaps people that inject half a gram at a time experience those, I however do not wish to go there)
Basically the onset is definitely the fastest, just not as fast as I thought it would be, on my last IV with the most amount of meth, I was definitely buzzing, but still not after around 7 minutes.
So the Pros –
Efficiency (as in you would probably get the most out of what you have paid for)
Greatly reduced comedown – This was a real nice one for me, I noticed the drug left my system a lot quicker, as opposed to when I eat it for example.
When I eat it, 2 days on my heart is still thumping but I’m no longer experiencing any pleasant effects, I just know the meth is still in me and it can feel nasty.
Cons –
Preparation – You definitely have to prepare a special time and spot for IV’ing and it can be a bit of a headscrew.
Unsuccessful attempts – These are unpleasant as one can imagine, especially for a beginner, missing a vain or stressing to get one up could make some feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Jab marks – After my first try, I had band aids on both my arms for 3 days and wore long sleeved tops.
Addiction – Being so efficient and not lasting as long, I was tempted to go again only within an hour after my first administration! Have to be very careful.
My way of doing it – Putting a special time and place aside for doing once in a while, if you shoot up more then 3 times a month (my personal opinion) I think you may be well on your way to acquiring a steady, serious addition. (PS – I haven’t IV’ed since I went thru my last gear 2 weeks ago (half a G) and am not planning to for a while.)
Quick outlook on the comedowns -
As expected, when the administration, the buzz and all was over, it was time to start returning to your 'normal' state of mind.
No point of ranting about this too much, as I'm sure anyone who experiments with stimulants knows the after consequences but there was certainly noticeable come-downs afterwards as to be expected whether you administer via eating, snorting or injecting of course.
After my 3rd & most powerful IV (probably 2 weeks after my second one) I felt low in mood for a maybe 2 days when it was all over, had a sore back, headache the usual.. I needed a few diazepams at this stage to help me out.
All in all, it was my decision, and it was an interesting experience.
I’d like to once again thank all those who contributed with answers & facts! : >
