agreed.
i just didnt wanna say it like that cuz i dont IV and dont wanna sound like im talkin down on IV users, i have known snorters n smokers to pawn a thing or two
...and i dont doubt there are those out there who do IV n manage to keep things together, but they're just few n way far between

That is complete bullshit ive been an IV user for 2 years and havent pawned any of my shit. I keep a job i have a wife i have a car and an apartment on a fucking golf course so please dont stereotype IV users as all scum that pawn all their shit just to keep a habit going. I just recently found powder H in Little Rock and for the first 2 years it was all oxy's and that shit was way more expensive and i still didnt pawn all my shit so please lay off the IV users. Were all friends here.
Did you miss the part where he said that he's sure there are IV users that keep it together?
And lets not compare an IV oxy habit to an IV heroin habit. The reason people get so bad on IV heroin is because they are after the rush, so they shoot up pretty often.
Finally, someone said it. And so true. The idea that anyone could live a productive live on narcotics (especially heroin) is anathema to most people, especially cops, news reporters, film producers and clergy

To most people sure but, surely not to most bluelighters. Least of all those that inhabit this thread. There are surely people that live productive lives using various different drugs through various different ROAs. That doesn't mean that just because you can do it, you should.
It was hard for me to pinpoint the life expectancy of a heroin addict but, most sources I see say that most addicted males live between 15-20 years after becoming a full blown addict (sources vary). Admittedly most of the sources that pop up when you search for "the life expectancy of a heroin addict" are rehabs and such but, there certainly are not alot of elderly heroin addicts out there. Point being that yes there are people that use and live productive lives but, how many and for how long?
I myself use quite a bit of oxy and have probably been a full blown addict for maybe 5 years. I am a active member of society. There is little that an outsider would say I was lacking due to my drug use. To me that's all a facade. More and more I find myself being held back by my drug use. Now I'm not saying that that no one can do it but, to me maintaining and being productive are two totally different things.blue valentine

Hey guys. I'm pretty new here, but I feel like I want to chime in about the whole IV/not IV thing...I've been doing dope for 10 years, and I started shooting 2 years ago. Now it hasn't ruined my life like a made-for-TV movie, but I will admit things have steadily declined. I started doing it thinking I could do less, get high on less--NOT true. Yes it might take less to get high but I still use the same, if not more. My arms are a mess too. I hate that I can't wear short sleeves in 90 degree heat. My husband was also a user, but he only snorted and never once shot up, even when I started to. His dad was a junkie and I think he just wouldn't cross that line. And before I started, all the shooters told me "once you start, you'll never go back". I have heard of a few people who stopped shooting and decided to snort again, but not too many and I'm not one of them. I know this advice is redundant, cuz other people have definitely said it, but don't start. I just don't think it's worth it. Just my two cents...
I didn't want to post again to add this, but I asked about copping on foot the other day and it worked out just great...I almost liked it a little better than driving. Just cut off the main street and looped around, and it wasn't any shadier than what I'm used to...so yeah, that went good.Last edited:

Hey, so the other day I copped from a couple different guys so I could compare...the one shit was fantastic, but some of the other stuff not so much.
Why the hell do they put like, little white waxy pellets in the bags? That's some bullshit, plus I don't even see why they do it. I mean when you're buying raw, sure, I get it, it would up the weight (still shady though!). But just getting dimes, it's not like I get home and set em on the scale expecting some certain number. So what's up with the stupid pellets? So I'm glad I went to a couple spots so I can pick and choose which is worth goin back for...esp cuz i'd rather not travel from the burbs to the hood every other day. I just hope its consistent.Dude just must feel guilty or someshit to take offense to what you said, almost like he thougt you were talkin to him personally..I've pawned a few things but nothing that was mine that I bought or something Iike thatt..I've found 2 ipods at the gym and I found a ring in a my store I worked at..being that I already have 2 ipods I didn't need anymore..the ring I found looked like some dudes plain silver ring until I looked at it closely and saw the name Tiffany..I figured it some wedding band or something special since it came from Tiffanys, so I put it aside and 2weeks went by and no one claimed it..my boss told me I could take it and so I took it in cause I don't wear rings and it only fit my pinky turned out to be platinum wedding band and it paid for a tattoo and had money left over for 4 40mg chops(yea I was still snorting oxy then) an 8th of weed and 20$ in my gas tank...
I guess if you got the money its worth it..but what I learned is there's no point to buy platinum anything so save a few bucks and buy white gold or if you really don't care sterling cause they all look the same..I also look back and think yea there's prolly no way I'd turn the ring in, or spend the cash on a tattoo, or chops..I would have just spent it all on dope and weed after I filled my gas tank completely..
I think it is rice that they put in there. It draws the moisture up and prevents it from getting clumped up from humidity.

Hey bro I actually have switched from the oxy's to some good powder H since i found a hood connect in Little Rock. It is different but i still dont see me pawning my shit and living on the streets cause of it. And i wasnt takin offense to what ya said i was just saying it aint like that for everyone. Yall all know me here i dont cause drama like that just statin a fact homeboys.blue valentine
Bluelighter
aha! Well that does make sense, cuz I just couldn't see why it would matter to make the bags look fatter when you're gonna notice em...haha. thanks.
p.s. I actually laughed when I read the post about iv users pawning their computers...it was funny to me cuz it was also true; i'll admit I've done it before. Took no offense, it just made me laugh. And made me glad I got a new computer that I (seriously now!!) won't ever ever pawn!I was with a friend that was getting them (in NY) and he just got them through the drive-thru window at the pharmacy. The guy told him that they didn't do it anymore though. He said it was a new policy that had started on friday (this way years ago) but my friend said he had gotten them on saturday, and it was a sunday when we were getting them.
They don't ask questions by me. Even if they know what you are getting them for, I think they just know that it is better than using a used rig.i posted this in the detroit thread but figured it would be better here
now i dont bang, so i have never had to buy pins...my question is do they ever ask you what you need them for or have they seen your tracks and told you no? or is dope so popular that they see it all the time and that they dont care and they just want your money and you out the door before you can steal something
its an open question to everyone, everyones experiance with it
Tommy i thought about throwin both those posts together but i wanted this one about rigs to be seperate since i had that posted in a differnt thread and i didnt want to clog that thread since its on its last few laps, thats why i moved it here and not to mention back to back posts that are 15-20mins apart has never been a problem before, and i dont see why it would be now if its 2 completely differnt subjects and topics..it wasnt like i made both posts 5mins apart.. and believe i know about the edit button i prolly use it more then the rest of the people who post in this thread combined
but that drive thru story is the way to go i would think..i mean you dont have to go into a public place where theres an old lady in front of you and a mom with her 13year oldson buying pimple cream behind you asking her " why is he buying needles?" ..but i guess for someone who buys them all the time there is no embarrassment like i would feel..the one time i was with someone who needed to go buy one, i made him go in and buy it by himself cause i didnt want nothing to do about it.Last edited:blue valentine

I guess i don't know what i thought it was for...guess that makes me a complete moron but im ok with that, lol
Anyway chinky, my experience buying rigs (in a lot of different areas) has been that i've never been turned down or asked why. With exception of wal-mart some old pharmacist told me they don't sell em but i know they do. Usually they are as polite as can be. But, I don't look like a junkie at all except the long sleeves in summer part, sometimes i figure they see an attractive young girl and who knows what they assume? I could be diabetic for all they know. I just say "i need a ten pack of insulin syringes, 31 gage 1cc". Once or twice they've thrown in the clean needle pamphlet but usually not. That's just my experience, though.I think if I ever bought them I would have it written out on a piece of paper with some other random things, so they might think I am shopping for a family member or something.
As for the edit chinky, I really don't think that 15 minutes is a long time between posts, especially during a weekday. The only reason I would double-post would be if I figured a bunch of people already read the post, and might not notice an edit. Given the time and day of your posts that I merged, I figured that nobody was even around to see the first one before you posted the second one.Last edited:- Status
