Ok, I think DC is the right place for this..

Just curious to those of you who IV your drugzzz, do you love or hate the feeling of the needle?? Is the feeling of the needle part of the addiction\appeal of drug use, or is it a shitty inconvience that you tolerate for a high?

I personally used to have a HUGE phobia of needles (I'm talking crying like 5 year old kind of scared!) until recent complications with mono put me in the hospital for awhile.. I was poked and proded so many times that I just got used to it and learned to deal. But I still hate that feeling. I couldn't imagine doing it to myself.... yikeeess!! Just curious what your feelings are about it! :D
 
Ive only used the needle twice (and personally didnt mind shooting myself up), but hate it because of what its done to my friends.
 
^ Yeah, thats another aspect that I didn't think of... I was looking at the pain from a needle in a physical sense, but I can see what you're saying how it can also represent something very dark in an emotional sense. Thanks for sharing, although im sorry for the shit your friends are going through.

Thanks for the link, thats a powerful song.

eh...i feel for them, but i sure as hell am not going to be dragged down by them.

i've seen people OD and not come back. that's the worst.
 
I absolutely love and hate the needle at the same time. I love it because of the rush it gives me when I shoot up and as most junkies will tell you, you get as addicted to the needle and the process of fixing as to the drugs. I even love the pinch of sticking the rig in my arm. But my hatred comes from how badly I fucked my life up with shooting drugs and how it led me down a very dark and fucked up path for the past 5 years or so. I know if I had never made the move to IV heroin and coke, I would have avoided a lot of shit in my life. I really doubt that I would have been homeless and in jail and gone through multiple OD's if I hadnt started IVing. So in the end, I guess the bad totally outweights the good in my case. I'm on suboxone now and don't even use daily or even weekly anymore, but I still find myself shooting up water quite frequently just to shoot something. Once you get on the needle your pretty much fucked.
 
the needle is not something I think about, unless I'm reminded. Never injected, never will and I pass out when getting blood work done. I feel sick when looking at images of broken skin, by needle or other tools. Like literally I have to look away, think of something else or I feel so sick that I'll have to lay down. Don't know why I have suck an extreme reaction.

I was addicted to Heroin and when the time to inject came (other ways just didn't work anymore) I quit cuz I was so scared of needles.
 
^ thats exactly how I used to be. I would faint or puke everytime I get to get a measly shot at the doctors office. It took 3 days of being pricked and hooked up to IVs at the hospital for me to get a little better with it.

edit: wow, you really do fear the needle if you quit heroin just because of it. thats good though, I guess right?

I've only felt 'pain' or a 'pinch' from re-using needles.

There is definitely a rush involved even when just thinking of the process of injecting without even doing the physical act
 
ohhh man do I love the needle, I think IVing in itself can be an addiction.

I do hate what it does to me and my friends/family though, but that goes for the drugs itself too...I love smoking crack because it feels so good, but I hate the consequences(which are pretty harsh)

anyone who doesn't have this love/hate relationship with a needle hasn't been shooting for long enough IMO
 
I fucking hate the needle because i love it so much. It put me into a life i never thought would happen ... it aint no joke of a thing to start doing or some 1 time thing in 98% of people ... once you've used the needle and got that rush your fucked. half my fuckin addiction is the needle .. time to get off this site i dont wanna think or talk about it.
 
nah bro not bad experience this site just makes me think about using in general lol and im tryin to stay clean
 
Ive only shot up twice, but I love it already. The whole experience is a rush, and the high

is fucking incedible. I need to keep myself away from it because I find myself thinking about

shooting pretty often. Sucks that one of my really good friends shoots up, because I need

to stay away from him. The last two times I hung out with him are the two times Ive shot up.

I hate that it has to be like that, but I know Im gonna IV every time I see him. No question.

I cant just tell myself Im not gonna shoot when Im with him, because I know I will. Im a dope

addict, so I know Im gonna make sure I get the best bang for my buck. :\
 
As someone above said, I love it for the rush it gives me but I could honestly give it up if need be (and in fact I haven't IVed in a few months). For me it's a more efficient way of doing crystal but other than that I can take it or leave it. I don't have a needle fixation.
 
Simply another route of administration. Great bioavailability, but unfortunately so few recreational medicines come in safe IV form that its not worth the damage to keep as a habit.
 
i respect the needle as a great ROA for most drugs, especially effective in hospital settings and also it has the best rush/high of any other ROAs but at the same time it causes the drug to enter you bloodstream all at once which can lead to problems if the user is not used to the drug and it causes shorter durations than other ROAs and worse withdrawals as well. but overall, i respect it for what it is but i strongly believe it should not be abused too much cause it can cause harm if done so. i know from experience.
 
i love, cherish and respect my pins. even when im clean i always have one around and play with it from time to time. Anytime i see a bright orange color anywhere (like most needle caps for those not in the know) my stomach wrenchs a lil.
 
^^Definately....I get the same thing u said about seein orange. I thought it was weird but its tru. anytime i see that bright orange color, I always get a reaction of, 'O shit, I left my set out!! Fuck!" And then its like a bottle of elmers glue with the orange cap or somethin. Every time tho.

Sometimes When i have dope that i am gonna boot up and I tie off and get the needle in but i dont hit becuz my veins are kinda fucked up, I pull it out, and as I pull it out with all the heroin solution still inside, I start getting a feeling of releif and a kind of rush even without even havin injected anything at all. when that started happennin I knew i was fucked.:|

JerZfire, I have watched you on here from just starting to be into it, to only havin someone else cop for you, to copping in the hood, to only sniffin a bag or two to get wrecked, to sniffin more than that a day, now youre bootin up too, And It kills me inside becuz one by one we all walk off the same mutha fuckin cliff like a long line of suicidal lemmings and we cant do nothing but watch. But If i could take away the pain I would. I hate to see people end up in the places I been and knowing that its a final, unchangeablel thing that people will always learn the hard way It rips me up inside knowing all the sufferin that heroin and shootin will do you but we all come to our own conclusions......
