This has been a tough road, building up a tolerance, then shooting into the one vein on each of my arms inside my elbows.. The veins only show for like 1/2 of an inch and will look pretty bad if i keep at these two sites. I can't find any other really good spots. What's next, my neck? Both neck and arms are hard to hide, I'm kinda at a loss here..

Any ideas?
 
I would not shoot up in your neck. Try finding a vein on your leg. I know people who shoot up in their feet it can be dangerous though. If you have to start smoking for a little bit instead of injecting so your veins can repair somewhat.

legs, hands between the knuckles
 
Not an authority but logical extension would be further down the arms (sparingly) and hands at the prominent veins. But its a slippery slope, having battle scars can trigger sadnesss and be painful reminders of the frustrating times trying to find a vein. But of course once you hit a good one there's no other feeling! Consider this as well: how long do you wanna have to wear long sleeves, I'm kinda lucky cuz of my complexion but others aren't...food for thought.
 
Wait are you shooting bupe? If so just snort it its not worth losing all your servicable viens when the drug works just as well with other ROAs. If its not bupe then try a hot shower and some pullups that will usually work for my arms. If not then look in the legs I would stsy away from the neck way to high a possibilty of death or other major complications.
 
use your hands ! so simple..and easy to see....untill you kill em like i did. lolz. i miss my thumb vien soo much
 
the neck is pretty noticeable, but the jugular does provide a good rush. I d say go for the feet, or the groin area
 
ok thanks everyone. I probably won't find any on my legs and if i try my hands i know im going to miss a couple times because the skin there is a bit thick, same with the feet. except, feet are even tougher because the skin is looser and i always slide over the vein and pop the skin out and my foot hurts for like a minute =(
 
Have you tried getting the blood really flowing and tieing off one of your arms? There are a couple that run up almost to the crook of your elbow if you're trying to hide them. I can hit several of the veins on my arms without much issue, although my last visit to the pharmacy I got the wrong length of needle and have been having a lot of difficulty.

I shake because I'm nervous I'm sticking too deep, the needle HURTS going in sometimes. I've gotten BAD bruising and little bumps (not abscesses, just tiny nodule really) near the injection site. I'm used to a very short needle, not these half inch long fucks. But I'm going off topic here.
 
I'm not gonna do my arms anymore cause i wear a lot of short sleeves. I could use my legs once i get a good tourniquet instead of using a belt
 
help

i am new.
in atlanta, decatur ga.
been to rehab like 8 years ago but for soft stuff like pills, pot and drinking.
having a hard time lately and think life sucks.
I know a girl i went to rehab w/ had an accidental od from h and didn't make it.

this interests me.
I don't know what i am doing but googled h and found this site..

thank you.
 
I was in the same boat for SO long...

Trying to slam bupe into the last 1.5 inches of inflamed, pink, punctured veins in each forearm. Now, I can't imagine what I was thinking -- I never got a rush or any noticeable effect at alll. Just fixated on the needle, I s'pose. Kept it up for months, veins never been the same. That was years ago.

I'm just cuious - Why are banging your subs? Are you on maintenance/a prescripton & trying to save dough? Or do you buy 'em off somebody just to get high? Seeing as you're 'bout outta veins, I'm thinking you must do it pretty often if. Do subs still actually get you high?

Don't skinpop the pills man! I know, sounds like an accident^ but jeez, that's a shitlotta matter to be depositin' unda' the skin.

Finding veins, hmmm.... There's all the things like tying off, putting a warm towel on the area (wet washcloth, microwaved to hotness + Ziplock = hot compress - the mess), doing pullups or pushups right before, mas ejercicio, and so on, all that good shit...

Neck is a bad idea. Ever notice how bad your hand feels after a bad shot (that swollen tingly numb itchy blotchy pain with raging hives, like you put your hand in a bee hive)? What if that happens to your face or brain?? Or just yer eyeballs? I've never actually heard of one popping out or anything from nicking an artery on a missed neckshot, but there's a whole lotta ugly things that can happen when neck shots go bad.

Really, my best advice boils down to just one word: squirtitupyourassholeintoyourrectum.
EDIT: AKA "plugging," see next.

Seriously, I urge everyone to try plugging before they decide that IV is the only way to go. I've done both with opiates and rectal bioavailability is very close to iv, and personally I preferred the high through plugging - much nicer "warm and fuzzy" feeling. And plugging has none of the dangers of IV.

Do some research and give it a whirl, its pretty easy to do (crush up your pill, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water and use an oral syringe (oversize syringe with no needle often found in the child's section of a pharmacy) to squirt it where the sun don't shine. Lay there for 20 mins while it absorbs and you'll feel it hit you.

Please try it before you poke a lot of holes in yourself. And look at the IV megathread here in Other Drugs for IV help and info. And dude, do a search, every other day someone starts a thread because they can't find a vein. There has been plenty of discussion on this subject.
 
Ive been using the same vein in my arm for shooting my suboxone for the past 3 months now. Around 4-6 injections a day and the vein is still nice and plump, but has formed a lot of scar tissue over some of the vein where I would get lazy and go for the 'easy spot'. Idk how it has lasted this long. Most of my other arm veins are long gone from my heroin/coke days where I was doing the same exact thing, not rotating spots. I've got some horrible scars on my arms but they are fading over time thankfully. Make sure to rotate!
