needles are dirty,etc.
First...on the subject of needles and infections...Clean needles & equipment + sterile [all it takes is an alcohol swab and some care]conditions = zero chance of any infection [assuming the substance itself is not infected which would also effect other routes of administration].A.I.D.s,H.I.V.,Hep.[either one,take your pick] are caused by sharing needles or equipment.Simply don't share and you wont be at risk.As for most people being scared of breaking their skin and shoving some alien substance under their skin...Hmmm...Lets see...A tubercular peasant in Colombia swallows numerous condoms filled with coke.Nearly 5 hours later they touch down in N.Y.C.They expel[defecate] these rubber bound nuggets of joy after they have been sitting in their intestines for several hours and have struggled through their rectum.Then someone in unsterile conditions slits these multicolored pieces of shit[thats what they are by now-technically]and proceeds to adulterate it significantly with an unknown substance[to you].Then,the merchandise changes [unsterile]hands however many times it takes to make it up your nose.If its base you are after then a whole new set of exciting and stomach turning, foul,and unsterile conditions enter the scene[and your bloodstream.Second...on the subject of substances ingested via I.V. not undergoing the same body filtration as those that are smoked or "sniffed"...i've got some bad news for you-you are incorrect.I will offer a very brief explanation:When sniffed,the substance in question goes directly into the bloodstream.The reason it is sniffed is that the blood vessels in the nose are so close to the surface of the skin that the substance can pass directly through the mucous membrane.When smoked,the same substance is absorbed via the lungs directly into the bloodstream.As far as onset of effects,and whatever danger that may pose,I concede that I.V.is in fact the fastest delivery system.So what?Last time I looked around,drug users crave instant gratification.Anyway...Smoking is felt within seconds-with a difference of perhaps 3-5 seconds between the two.If people choose to avoid,or even abhor, anything then that is their choice.I just don't think that they should denigrate others for the purpose of elevating themselves-especially when those on the pedestal are just playing with semantics.As always I apologize about my lack of indentation but as I have said before in earlier long posts,I seem to lose it when I post.
