Amazingly, with just about a quarter century in the heroin/morphine scene I not only do not inject, I am not able to! For the life of me, try as I might, I just cannot get a register. I know the technique front and back, a little air between the solution and plunger, angle in the ultra-fine, and hit the vein but I can NEVER get that trickle of blood!
I have of course had others inject me quite abit, years ago. So now I have a ton of morphine, I am on morphine maintenance, and my tablets are perfectly water soluble! Like the Knoll Dilaudids and yet I cannot inject them!!! It drives me crazy. I will not IM them because of the talk and fear of abcess.
Ironically I am HCV (Hep-C) Positive but did NOT catch it from IV usage. Rather I must have gotten it from a reused syringe by a medic in the army. Back in the 80s, in Israel they would reuse syringes quite often. Lucky HIV was so rare om our country back then!
