What is your opinion on mainlining drugs, are you for it, or against it? I am speaking strictly of your beliefs here, this is NOT a topic for bashing or anything of the sort. I noticed alot of people here talking about injecting, it was a surprise to me honestly, because I always thought it was much more uncommon.

I personally refuse to inject anything. I do not have a fear of needles, getting shots from the doctor or at the pharmacy has never bothered me at all. I however refuse to go down the path, because of the fear of overdose, and the fact it just doesn't interest me. I also do not want to wreck hell on my veins, and have generally noticed that mainlining drastically increases the odds of forming a habit. I have some friends who do inject and have been offered plenty of times, it just isn't my cup of tea.

What is your opinion?
 
I feel the exact same way as you. Have never done it and never plan to. And I do not have a phobia of needles either, I rather like them lol.

Well I thought most people thought like us, but I quickly realized mainlining was MUCH more popular than I realized after reading posts here. Many people seem to see it as a waste to do any other method.
 
It is the most efficient ROA, but the problem with it is it will raise your tolerance a hell of a lot faster than any other method. Eventually you'll still end up using the same amount you would be if you never starting banging.

The biggest reason I'll never do it, (apart from the fact that I have no access to any bangable drugs) is not because I think I won't like it, but because I fear it would be TOO good. I hear a lot of people say that after they IV once, they never go back. My addiction is terrible enough as is, thank you very much.
 
i loved it although i dont do it anymore..my pros were.when you do it your high or not ,no in the middle high likewith smoking or that almost buzz that sends you hunting.i could do mine in a matter of seconds and get back to more important things not stuck on stupid with a pipe for and hour..id clean the stuck and buy a case of new points...had no problems for years the cons were it took 20.00 worth just to wake up buying points just feels bad,,the way they look at you but mostly that alot of smokers think shooter are less than them and the circle of shooters i knew seem to hard core personalities,,they were nt social users like smokers most want thier shit now and thats what they mean they dont need a buddy to get high with...i dint fit in in either crowed
 
I wouldn't say I would never IV a drug by myself. I have no intentions of doing it in the near future, but would by no means rule it out. I think it would depend on the drug. In the hospital setting I have no problems with needles, and rather enjoyed the rush of IV fentanyl the few times I had it.
 
Well ive been shooting up for a little bit over a year now and besides a bad IV dilaudid habit (thought id save on the stuff by shooting it 8) ) i never really suffered any consiquences from IV drug use. Thankfully i kicked my IV habit for the most part and now just shoot morphine now and again.

I have very mixed feelings when it comes to IV drug use and it even varies by drug. One thing i would never recomend to anyone unless they wanted to hit rock bottom in record time would be a IV coke habit. I never really fucked myself on coke/crack before i decided to shoot the stuff. Only took about 2 weeks to really fuck my head and veins up to the point of insanity.
 
im not against it, because i do it, and im 100% for it, meaning myself. i personally enjoy it and i wouldnt want to take that feeling away from myself if i started smoking again and stopped shooting. id be depriving myself of something i really like. being a girl and all it really does suck walking around with fucking marks its disgusting. i thank god for big bracelets, and organic tamanu oil!!
 
I think its just another ROA. Its not the drug, or the paraphernalia, thats the problem, its the user. Injecting some drugs is very risky business to me, while injecting others is no more dangerous than oral / nasal / smoking. For example, I try and stay away from injecting opiates, because the rush is too great, the high too short, the experience to intense, and very addictive. I have absolutely no problem with injecting (intravenously) 2C-I, because its no more satisfying then snorting 2C-I. Infact the onset is a bit too fast for me, makes it a bit undesirable.

See what I'm getting at? It's really not the needle. Its the situation, the substance, and the user.

Check out Vitamin E oil (make sure its very high IU – intensity units). It's worked the best for me out of anything, other than proper injecting technique.
 
It has the potential to be really clean(cleaner than smoking), and it also has the potential to be REALLY dirty. I have always been a big fan of IV drug use. If you don't want to lose friends don't ever let them know you are into that shit though. It has such a negative stigma.
 
I want to try it and I'm planning on trying it for my first time next week. I finally got my hands on some insulin injection needles. I'm nervous about it, but I'm excited as I'm bored with swallowing pills and snorting.

I was just gonna make a thread about it, actually.
 
I hate needles & even if I do get addicted to heroin by snorting, I will check into rehab before even thinking of injecting anything.
 
I slam dope and I think its the best ROA.. I snorted for years before starting to bang it and it all seems like a waste in retrospect, the snorting not the shooting. Like someone else said, it is a cleaner method as long as you have sterile equipment and technique.. snorting stuffs your nose up, one of the main reasons I started shooting, smoking it can't be good for your lungs, before anyone says then how can it be good for your veins, its the combustion that takes place with smoking that's different.

You do get addicted way faster and the withdrawals are a lot more intense but so is the high..
it's a trade off of sorts.. seems like snorting is for casual users and needles and iv'ing it becomes more of a lifestyle.. a 24/7 never ending need, and there's never enougth but its a hell of a ride.. HIGH ups and DOWN lows.

I have to say this made mainlining sound even more undesirable.
 
I would never do it myself and can't really understand how anyone could given all the information available about it. You will get hooked much faster, the WD will be worse, you odds of dying go through the roof, almost everyone will look down on you, etc......


I don't personally look down on people for it, it is another bad mistake that some people make. I have made many bad mistakes myself so I am in no place to judge anyone......

But the negatives outweigh the positives more than any other choice I can possibly think of. People that do it will always find ways to justify it (I am very experienced in justifying my stupidity) but that doesn't change the facts.......it is a bad idea with no real justification.

Nothing good comes from it.


Not wasting the drug isn't a valid reason either.......you will soon be doing so much more of the drug than before that any savings that you get at first will vanish and you will be spending more on it than ever.

Just reading threads about it and all that goes into it makes me very glad I never made that move. People describing the process step by step made me feel dirty reading it.....
 
I just wanted to know i had tried the best rush available, know what all the stigma was about, i smoked the first 1-2 times but i was only ever really interested in the needle. It was beautiful, a big fuck you to the powers that be. needless to say, reality soon hit me like a ton of bricks and i was an emotional/mental mess. friends became distant, family lost respect.

drugs will never be replaced in my eyes untill the day i die
 
I have IV'd about every drug there is that is commonly injected, from OC's before they were changed to the new ones, Dilauadid, Morphine, Fentanyl, methamphetamine,cocaine,and heroin. I have managed to be able to go back to snorting good powder heroin, and not using coke rarely, and on the once a year I use meth I smoke it. This being said,I had a bad addcition to opiates by IV and to meth by IV or smoking and to injecting cocaine.I spent a few months getting off all drugs a few years ago, weed included,and slowly came back into using heroin by snorting it, and if I get opaite pills,I take them by mouth mostly. I feel I am lucky after numerous OD's and car wrecks and jail time over drugs,not from IV'ing but by the things I did while high on them,whether IV's or another ROA..I started with my first injection of meth at age 18 in 1995, I have few regrets,but as I said I feel I'm lucky to be able to go back and use drugs ,some drugs without injecting, even though heroin is not the same snorted as injected, I was off it long enough to lose my tolerance mostly, and I can get very high off snorting heroin, although I get good to fire powder #4. I'm not "for or against injecting" , I just think people need to understand the possible consequences of IV drug use,and if they do inject drugs ,do it safely as possible,with sterile needles,proper injection techniques and keeping the injection sites rotating and not all in your area.Clean first with alcohol wipes,never share the same water and use new needles as much as you can.
 
The trouble with shooting heroin is pretty simple: Heroin metabolizes into morphine, right? Snorting heroin, despite being called "wasteful," results in its metabolizing into morphine before reaching the brain. Thus, insufflated heroin acts very much like any other pharmaceutical pain killer. But when heroin is taken intravenously, it reaches the brain first and metabolizes into morphine all at once. That's what creates "the rush."

For someone like me, someone who has used pain killers recreationally for years without any problems, snorting heroin makes sense. It's true that heroin is heroin is heroin is heroin... but it does become a different animal when it's taken intravenously, and that rush is something I think I might like a little too much.
