An injectable dye to mystify those around you?

Suppose you want to IV a solution that is transparent or nearly so. You want to do so without the people present recognising what you inject for what it is. You want them to go home and tell their folks that you injected some green (blue etc.) stuff, so no one can't put two and two together.

What you need is a dye of a light colour other than red (so that registering is not obscured). It should be totally inert and harmless and produce plenty of colour when present in trace amounts. Any idea?
 
Methylene blue is used in medicine for various applications and can be injected safely (though it is a MAOI and will possibly interact with whatever drugs it is mixed with). Prolonged use makes the whites of your eyes turn blue, like in Dune.
 
^which is awesome
maybe an indicator solution, and you can vary the pH from time to time

but either way, it seems people would ask questions.
what would you say?
 
there is only one way to respond to a post like this.

bad idea, harm reduction, and all that jazz.
 
I really feel like your focus should be more on shooting up in private rather than trying to trick people into thinking you're injecting some mystery substance, it's still sketchy and people are going to judge you for it
 
Wait wait wait. So you think that injecting something clear will be frowned upon, but if you inject yourself with something that looks like drain cleaner people won't give a second thought to it?










Seriously?
 
In the country I have in mind the locals are accustomed to the white man's eccentricities. So a white man injecting green or blue stuff (eg allegedly for malaria or sleeping sickness treatment) might pass as ... just that, another crazy white man. If more experienced people then ask "and what colour was that thing that guy injected, did it have a slightly yellowish tinge by any chance?" - "No Sir, it was bright blue" - "Really? never hear of it".
 
Hmm I have no idea what colorant would be harmless enough...I got a bad feeling about this. Don't do it man, it's not worth it.
 
ROFL, if I saw someone shooting up in a public place the last thing on my mind would be what color the substance is. My god the world has gone stupid.

"Oh he's shooting up something that's blue, no need to call the authorities"

"Mommy, what is that ugly man doing?" "Don't worry dear it can't be narcotics, it's blue"

Even people that inject insulin know to do it in private unless it is an absolute emergency. FFS, just go into a bathroom stall. The only person you'd be impressing are little punk kids that want to be junkies. Not to mention that it will probably be pretty obvious that whatever it is got you high. In what way does it benefit you to not shoot up in a bathroom. In what way is taking medicine for malaria or sleeping sickness "a white man's eccentricity"?

Actually I take back what I said, add some food coloring to your shot and do it right on the street. If you get arrested or die I'll pay your bail/bribe money and if you go to the hospitol I'll pay your bills, I promise.

Thats really fascinating, I read the same thing on wikipedia but does anyone have access to the paper which describes the sclera bluing phenomenon? I believe its nested within another paper describing the anti-malarial properties of methylene blue.

I agree. When I was a kid I was once in a long haul flight stuck next to this guy who was trying to chat up this girl. Anyway, the guy was pretty clumsy at flirting and suddenly, I assume to impress the girl, the guy gets out a syringe and starts injecting some shit. I saw that and thought the guy was injecting some crazy shit and the girl felt very awkward when she saw him doing that (he was on the seat next to her). Of course, I later learnt he was diabetic and that he was injecting insulin but needless to say, his tantric wasn't socially accepted by nor the girl or me even though it was something which he needed for a medical cause.

No matter what the colour your shit is, many people will not accept in their minds that you are injecting in front of them, first of all because many people don't like seeing such procedure.

BTW, this is ADD?
 
People i know sometimes inject 15mg Dormicum tablets without washing away the blue coating of tablet. That's results into a blue solution (of course).

If you fail to get a better answer: a little cyanocobalamin (B12) goes a long way and even though it's red, there's no way it'll obscure registering (it's quite translucent). This is a safer suggestion than methylene blue--which is nevertheless an interesting compound.

So a white man injecting green or blue stuff (eg allegedly for malaria or sleeping sickness treatment) might pass as ... just that, another crazy white man.

I read this last night and then went on to dream about some island in the Aegean sea that had IV nightclubs where nurse bartenders went about injecting patrons with variously-colored concoctions.

Upon reflection: if a dealer were looking for a unique way to brand his heroin, one way to do it would be to pepper it with an injectable dye. I'm not saying this is a good idea. It's actually a potentially terrible idea. But it's telegenic!

That's actually already practiced by some scrupulous meth dealers - or was some years ago when I was still into that stuff, anyway... originally there was this really popular and high-quality type of meth that was pink due to some trace amount synth byproducts, and people got to associating the pink colour with quality speed. So then dealers started adding whatever they could find to colour their speed pinkish - food dyes, xanax pills, goat blood, you name it.

Haha yeah I completely agree but at least it would look cool. Like designer drugs instead of plain boring drugs
 
I crushed a MDMA "E" 'pressy' tablet which was blue (but puked-up neon green I noticed) and shot a friend IV with it, it was a thick & rich blue color, I was rather concerned about mainlining it in him, but he wasn't, so I went ahead; and nothing, literally, nothing happened. They were pretty viably active MDMA + MA tablets orally too. Which surprised me. Maybe one dud thrown into the mix?

Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier to inject in private. It sounds like you are trying to show off the fact you are injecting.

If you inject strong stuff it's no good injecting in the bathroom, then having to *run* to the bed to get your blow-job.
