BTH questions answered.
Hey all my fellow intravenous drug users! I cant help but scoff at the large amount of ignorant posts regarding heroin use, black tar specifically. However, I do agree with several of the posts by people who actually know what they are talking about. I have lived in Southern California for the past 3 years and have used dope practically the entire time... starting out with and being turned on by regular black tar and upgrading eventually to mexican red known locally as "the LA bomb shit"... everything has been good the past couple years but as of late (the start of 2010) I find myself spending as much as 2 hours pur issue attempting to register my shot... It has gotten to the point where I don't even prep or avoid doing it because I KNOW i will not be able to hit myself....you people think you have it bad? NOT until you have shot out: 1) both sides of my neck, 2) both arms (including fingertips, palms, wrists and upper arms), 3) both legs including calfs and feet all the way to toes....it has literally become so helpless that I don't know what to do with myself anymore.
I practically refuse to attempt to hit my pulmonary or femoral due to a bad experience putting an entire issue into my inner upper thigh believing to have registered it and actually just having hit a blood vessel or something of the like.
Anyone with questions or seeking advice, especially related to BTH or hard to find veins please post a response or contact me, I will try and help you to the best of my ability.
My best advice to those starting down the horrible path of total vein collapse, is to continue to exercise and workout, bicep and forearm exercises being the best... and for those scared to try and hit their neck, DONT BE! but it is easiest and best to learn by having someone else hit you (THAT IS KNOWLEDGEABLE NOT A NEWB) first.
Directions for hitting neck by your self:
1) find a mirror such as a bathroom or wall, not hand held, and make sure the room is well lit with a good source of light...something about those twitchy public bathroom fluorescent bulbs fucks with my eyesight when trying to hit.
2) after preparing your shot (for your neck it HAS to be NO bigger then a 29G you guys...unless you want to fuck your shit up and deal with some unnecessary pain...30G and 31G being ideal, but where I am from 29Gs are the only ones available so they work fine. Make sure to use an alcohol swab on both your neck AND the needle (ie: hold the alc swab in between your thumb and pointer finger fold it over the exposed needle and wipe it off insuring no gunk or foreign bodies are left from filtering with cotton or whatever)
3) Lean forward as close to the mirror as the sink or whatever in your way will allow and GET READY!
4) First step is to take several long and deep slow breaths (increasing your bloods oxygen levels so you don't pass out (seen it happen MULTIPLE times guys no joke)
5) Turning your head slightly to the OPPOSITE side that you are attempting to hit, but not too far that you can't see that side of the neck, take a DEEP breath and hold it...for lack of a better description you are trying to puff your neck out as if you were squeezing out a ridiculously large turd (when being hit by another person a lot of people hold their nose to aid with this)
6) Holding the needle in your dominant hand of the side you are trying to hit, use a finger to palpate (feel around for) a vein, they run RIGHT above your collar bone and up the side of your neck and if you haven't hit them before, they SHOULD be easily visible guys
7) insert needle with syringe completely parallel with your sholder/the ground and insert in direction of head (ideally you always want to inject in direction of heart which would be downward in this case but its just too hard to do it this way on your own and trust me there is so much blood coming down through these veins it doesnt matter which way you inject)
8) while still holding your breath this entire time, use your other hand to pull back the plunger a bit and look for the register, you might have to poke around a little bit usually a little shallower or deeper, once registered and STILL HOLDING BREATH, carefully inject the issue while BEING EXTREMELY careful to ANCHOR the syringe properely (for you newbs this means resting the point where the barrel turns into the needle in other words where metal turns into plastic on your skin so the needle doesnt move in or out while you are trying to hit)
9) DO NOT EXHALE YOUR BREATH/RELEASE YOUR BREATH UNTIL YOU ARE DONE INJECTING YOUR SHOT, ONCE DONE INJECTING PULL NEEDLE OUT CAREFULLY AFTER YOU HAVE RELEASED YOUR BREATH DOO NOOOOOT PULL IT OUT WHILE STILL HOLDING YOUR BREATH GUYS this is a mistake
10) YOU HAVE just hit your neck! Cool huh? and the RUSh from it is not beatable by any other spot on the body in my oppinion, hits you instantly and you understand why.
When having ANOTHER person hit your neck you can turn your neck farther to the side because you dont need to have a line of sight and have the person insert the needle downward (toward your heart) essentially parallel with our neck and head or perpendicular to the ground, this is A LOT easier to do then sounds believe me.
I enjoyed reading all of your posts, some of you are very informed dope users....one quote specifically had me ROFL laughing because of how true/accurate it was....some one mentioned that there are several different kinds of dope users they run into one of which BEING people that have HORRIBLE technique and SHOOT UP all the time and STILL have fucking ROPES all over their arms, I have a friend like this and it pisses me off to NO end i have seen him hit in a car while driving on the fucking highway, I often joke that he should let be borrow one of his : )
Happy hunting guys...all i gotta say is I hope you arent as far gone as I am....veins has become a non existant word for me as of late.
