Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead but I didn't see the point of starting a new thread about this.
I recently started using again and while I've never had the best cleanliness practices, they aren't bad either. Mostly I just don't use new rigs as often as I should.
Anyways, I used to get dope out of the Baltimore area and now I live in MA and this dope gives me pretty crazy histamine reactions which I never got in MD. Both are powdered and I definitely have better injection practices. Also, I'm assuming it's a histamine reaction.
I assume they are hives. They are elevated, and lighter color than the redness of the surrounding skin. The injection area turned a little red and the hives are a little lighter. The only reason I'm not totally sure they are hives is because they don't itch. It's definitely not a missed shot.
Besides getting hives with this dope, I don't get the same intense rush as I did in MD. Is that because it's vastly differrent dope or maybe like others have said, higher morphine content? I definitely get a rush, but the rush from Baltimore dope was intense and scary if the dope was too good. This is a slower onset rush. is that a characteristic of morphine: slower, less intense rush?
Most of all, do I need to worry about this?
