Afghani H is NOT made for injection!
what am i going to do? yesterday it took me over 30 minutes of stabbing myself to finally hit one on the underside of my forearm. i tried going into the top of my hand but it didn't register. are my veins permanently fucked? will they heal over time? i will admit that for a time i was using my needles probably up to 7 times maybe even more. it hurts when i try and register now also and I'm sick of missing my shots fuck snorting the dope its not the same.
Of course it isn't, but it WILL be if (by your location I guess you use #3 Afghani smoking heroin base) you purify it, remove all insoluble in COLD water contaminants, which will be hard as 90% of what arrives in this area is cut with mucho unknown chemicals, some of which are not even completely inert, and make a heroin HYDROCHLORIDE or TARTRATE powder. Citrate, which is the main salt injected in the UK and W Europe, is NOT a good idea for insufflation unless you are using fentanyl base.
Diamorphine HCl is also available on the NHS in powder form in vials of 10/30/60/100 and 500mg. So buy some hydrochloric acid (28% dilute is enough! for precise instruction check Rhodium) and check the web for other ways of extracting the crap before making your salt from the base you have - insufflation of the HCl salt IS worth doing, and probably a hundred times safer than injecting Afghan heroin, apart from the Mexican and Columbian varieties the poorest and dirtiest in the world. Expect a yield of about 20%, that is for every gram, you should get around 200mcg of RELATIVELY pure heroin hydrochloride; more than that and you know you have some insoluble crap of dodgy origin in there.
I am old enough to remember when we got nothing but Double U Globe brand from Thailand/Cambodia/Laos/Burma, which was around 97% pure HCl salt when it arrived in its distinctive plastic wrapping with the famous globe trademark - ever since c.1981/2 when this brown Afghani came courtesy of the CIA and their funding of anti soviet mujaheddin in Afghanistan, I have been wary of injecting anything except import quality 87% stuff, but even that is so dirty compared with Khun Sa's product that I would be worried about the effect on my body.
Seriously, if you are injecting, acidifying brown base made for smoking in probably filthy conditions is not the way to go. Either purify or get yourself some proper Actavis or Teva vials of pure HCl powder, boxes of five, be VERY careful because the potency will be way beyond anything you have ever experienced.
Make HCl and snort it - it is not so much different from injecting,me specially since the stuff you ARE injecting is not supposed to be used that way in the first place and is not SUITABLE for injection in the second place!
Or I hear that the purest kit in the West is to be found in Baltimore. And it IS the HCl, not Afghani smoking base. So find someone to send you some.
Very dodgy to inject that brown gear indeed.
And it took me over ten years for my veins to recover from a venous collapse in the 1980s, I STLL am unable to get the mainline or the vein that runs down by the ulna. And I now inject only pharmaceutical opiates. Currently oxycodone HCl which is available in several strengths and is IMO superior to DIAMORPHINE for the purpose.
Be careful for God's sake. The stuff has never been worse and requires worked upon in order to make it even viable for proper and clean injecting.
Snort the Hydrochloride is my main advice.
