ok so i have been an IV user for quite some time now... wen i look back at it id say about 4 years ...anyways as u all may know your usual injection spots become worn out, collapsed, or all scar tissue... that basically happened on all mine... both my hands (no veins) .. both my ditches (no veins) ... both my feet(no veins) ... thats pretty much all ive used up ... can anyone pleasee tell me some good safe clever spots to boot up that i havent thought of.??? pleaseeeee and thank youuuu...

PS (i know i can use my jugguler but im not all about the neck thing.. makes me nervous...

maybe you should shoot it in your mouth or nose instead ;)

..or stick it up your ass
 
Cane2theLeft, that sounded like you were suggesting injecting into those places, lol. I would say the best option out of those suggestions for someone who already has a high tolerance to heroin and has been injecting for a long time would be to "stick it up your ass" - look up "plugging" on here.

If you don't want to try another ROA, I would recommend you look at a vein chart to see what locations are best to use, and learn about the best techniques for injection in order to avoid destroying your remaining veins. There may be some good veins on your legs if you haven't tried there. Avoid the jugular! You may also want to do some things to make your veins bigger/stand out more, like have a hot bath, exercise, use a tourniquet if you don't already, etc. Let me know if you'd like some more detailed advice.

It also sounds like you are saying you haven't used the veins on your arms other than in the crooks of the elbows? There should be some veins on your arms.
 
Maybe take a little break? Not the easiest thing to do, but I have been there and taking a break was the only way. What about your forearms? Biceps? wrists? Really though, you should think about a dif ROA depending on the substance at hand.
 
Why not try giving your body a rest? Are you in massive withdrawals or just looking for your next fix? Why not try something else instead of shooting up? I'm in jersey also, i wish you the best of luck
 
thanxx for the advice guys lol and nahh i really cant do anything but IV at this point... i just wont even catch the slightest buzz... i checked out the vein chart... it really helped... thanx

Your tolerance will go down if you switch to another roa and instead of taking an equivalent dosage, take up something lesser.

Also, vaporization will provide a rush, not quite the same as IV, but it's nothing to laugh at.
 
Using my jug used to freak me out but one day I just go tired of poking around all over and held my breath and went for it. Its not nearly as bad as you think but I know how you feel it used o give me the creeps I always thought I was gunman hit my collar bone. I use w 29g and slid it in up parallel to my neck works for me until it wore out but it took awhile to. Also I know that sounds weird but I take a 31 g and shoot up on the inside of my hand where my fingers bend there's teeny veins there they like to pop but if the points small enough its worked for me
 
ditches are the noraml IV site... otherside of your elbows... and "neverknowsbest" .. yea i agree that vaporization is pretty legit also, but what do u mean my tolerance will go down?? like if i stop IVing for a while i will need a lower dose wen i start up again?
 
^Not right away, but assuming you can only afford the same amount, you have to take more for dosage equivalency, it is effectively a taper to a smaller dose. Though with a long lasting ROA you'd have to dose less frequently (not true necessarily with vaping, but certainly nasal) and if not IVing you won't reach as high a peak plasma concentration. And I believe, some one correct me if I'm wrong, a higher peak plasma concentration = more receptor down regulation.

Plus, how's the tolerance of the non-IV users you know relative to the IV users? For various reasons it's almost always less IME. At this point in the game (when you're having to ask for new places to shoot up) maintenance should be the main goal, and getting high maybe a weekend thing or less (not that tolerance can't still ruin that). In any case it would be wise to learn to appreciate the high of the drug rather than just the rush or chase the nod (I know this is easier said than done, I doubt I'd be able to do it were I still using opiates regularly).

Plugging has a really high BA and somewhat of a rush they say too, so that might be a good option.
 
I don't have time to give detailed advice now, really sorry, but I am going to send this to Other Drugs as they are the IV experts.

BDD > OD
 
I know someone who shoots up in his neck. It's awful, gives me the creeps each time I see him do it. Looks dangerous as fuck too, definitely stay away from that.

How about legs though? Personally I have a lot of veins that stick out on the underside of my knees/top of thighs.

But obviously the best thing to do would be to give your body a rest.
 
Theres a nice vein on the left side of your wrist. Infact some doctors use it to measure pulse. Unless your really really skinny it's pretty hard to find.

I think it's time to put down the needle man. I mean if a guy came up to me and said "hey whats another way for me to smoke cigs because my lung cancer is so bad" I'd tell him to put the fucking cigs down. Obsly it's not as serious but still very serious.

You don't inject in veins that have a pulse... A pulse is the arterial palpation of the heart, aka only arteries have a pulse.
