amphetamine - semi experienced (first time IV) - whooosh

For the last few weeks I've been using amphetamine (or gear as it's called around my parts) one or two times a week. I'd mostly been smoking or snorting it and I thought it was quite good, but not as good as I'd hoped it to be.

My friend suggested I shoot some speed, seeing as how we had alot of fits (syringes). I was a little worried but I said I'd have a go.

My first time wasn't that great either, this report will focus of my second time shooting gear.

Dosage: This will sound really bad but I'm not sure. Over here we buy 'packets' and they cost $50 each. Sorry I can't be more specific. It was double what I usually use though.

I was at my mates house (shall be known as George) with him and one of his other friends (shall be known as Bob). He already had the gear and had already had a shot. We went into his room and he made one up for me. I'd just got home from college and I was a little tired I guess, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not in the best of shape either (no exercise and a couple of packs of cigarettes a week) so maybe that had something to do with it.

"This is a bit more then what you usually do, but I think you'll like it" George told me. I felt my heart beating and tried to calm myself down.

I used an alcohol wash on my arm and used a belt to tie up with so I could get my veins up. Once we'd found a good one I let George insert the syringe and watched as some blood shot into the syringe. George injected the gear, pulled it out and I untied the belt and I just sat there.

I waited a few seconds when George said to me "Hold your arm in the air and open and close your hand. I did this about three times and...

I felt my heart rate slowly build up and my head went slightly tingly. It felt like all the air was rushing from inside my lungs out of my mouth. They felt really cold as well. I made a "huuuuh" sound, I couldn't believe the intensity.

"Oh shit man" I said, rocking back and forth slightly "Dude I'm gonna die I'm gonna die!"

"Russell man, it'll be ok, it's just the rush, just relax and it'll be great" George told me, patting my back.

Before I go on, I know some people would thing George is a bit of a prick for introducing me to shooting up, but he has never been dodgy or used dirty needles. He helped me out the whole way.

Anyway, I managed to calm down and I walked into the large room. My body felt great all over, I didn't really know what to do. So I walked into the lounge room and said to Bob "Ohshitmanhaveyouhadsomeofthisgear?" He just looked at me, nodded and smiled. He was drawing a picture.

I sat down and lit up a smoke. RadioHead was on, and I was talking like a madman to George and Bob. They told me they were used to it and they could control how they felt.

I went late on and read for a little while. I did end up going to sleep, but when I woke up I felt almost the same. Work went by quick that day.

I'd put this down as a really good experience. I won't be using it for awhile though. George and I ended up using way too much on the weekend and by Sunday and Monday I felt like shit.

I might add some more to this later if I remember anything else. Cheers for reading.

I would say she means a testing kit.

Thanks for sharing your first IV speed experience with us,
 
you should never do more than your normal amount when your IV'ing for the first time, i would suggest 1/2-3/4 of your normal amount.
 
these 50 dollar packets as you call them how much is in them? is it ice or just powdered meth? and dude ima tweaker one of the best in my opinion but please dont start shooting just snort and smoke more shooting really will take you a lot farther...... downhill that is
 
I'll have to find out how much is in them. I think half a gram is around four or five packets but that may (or probably is) wrong.

It usually looks like wet, yellow, pasty rock.

I've been shooting for about two months now, once or twice a week. I have to cut down though because the comedown just leaves me feeling tired, and I'd like to actually do things during the weekend, rather then having a shot friday night and sleeping all saturday afternoon and night.

That's classic. Wiping your arm down with alcohol for safety, but then injecting dirty street drugs. I'm not knocking your drug use man, or the fact that you IVed it, but wiping your arm down with alcohol is the least of your concerns if you are injecting something you describe as "wet, yellow, pasty rock."

You should consider getting some syringe filters for your safety. Methamphetamine should be white and crystalline. It is dirty shit if you are describing it as you are. It may be very pure (i.e. still maybe 80% MA) and still have impuritites that you don't want in your veins.

Here is a link on needle safety.

Please buy some filters if you are going to fuck around with IVing stuff.
 
Word!
You can get free needles and microfilters from the hospital.
 
Yeah, amphetamine sulphate (base is a liquid) attracts moisture. Never once have I bought speed, and it has been in dry powder... meth sure, not amp.

I have used meth by drinking/eating/snorting/smoking.. and amphetamine by drinking/eating/snorting and I'm looking foward to my first IV amp shot (probably in a month or so).

I will probably only shoot 50mg of amp, just to be safe (I usually snort 100mg).

Oh, and I think everyone can relate to talking peoples ears off =D it gives me a smile everytime I think of me and my mates having speed fueled discussions :D talk absolute shit :)
 
In my home town the meth is very pure and cheap. I never touch the stuff, but pure meth also looks somewhat oily, and can take on a yellow color.

Why does it have to bee meth-amphetamine? It could be just amphetamine. Amphetamine can somethimes have a slight color-tone - most often yellow, but also pink. In sweden and norway meth is pretty rare - the most IV-users here use amphetamine, not methamphetamine
 
Can't believe I wrote this over 2 months ago now :) Thought my love affair with amphetamine would never end.

Like I said before in another thread: I miss those times.
 
Ive never seen white amphetamine. I've seen white Methamphetamine, but when my friends used to mess with straight Amphetamine it was always off-color yellowish/beige... And I know it wasn't dirty stuff.
