First off - I'm a "greenlighter" I suppose, so I apologize ahead of time if this has been covered before in a different thread/post.

However, SWIM has a history with using heroin IV and during the past 2 weeks has been using again, but not on a daily basis. Also, SWIM has been taking no less than 1 mg of xanax (alprazolam) every day since mid-Feb of this year, but they have averaged around 3-6 mg daily.

SWIM knows the dangers of combining 2 "downers" together, so they have been extremely careful as to how much H they IV'd at a time and over the course of a using day. (This is part of the question that will soon be asked)

Thing is - the H SWIM has been using is either low quality black tar or capsules of a tar/mannitol blend.

SWIM finds that IVing the cut caps gives them pleasant rush, nice euphoria and a good nod - but the whole experience is very short-lived, leaving them unsatisfied and wanting to IV another within the hour.

On the other hand, when SWIM IV'd very small amounts of the aforementioned low-quality tar (probably less than .1), the rush was semi-decent, euphoria was noticeable but "sub-par" and the nod was kind-of enjoyable. Despite this, SWIM noticed the overall high lasting much longer than when they IV'd the capsules.

Having experienced that, and feeling slightly more brave after becoming more familiar with the product, SWIM IV'd slightly larger amounts of the tar (possibly closer to .2 but it is difficult to say since they do not have a scale) and felt a fantastic rush with much euphoria and a very nice nod.

One day SWIM IVd only 4 caps, trying to lean on the safe side. But then about a week later they experimented more with the caps and tar (in addition to the daily xanax intake), IVing about 3 caps and 2 small pieces of tar throughout the length of a day and certainly didn't overdose. so SWIM has become curious...

To the question - given the quality of the tar and the short-lived effects of the caps (plus the xanax tolerance SWIM has acquired), would SWIM be in any danger of overdose if they IV'd slightly more tar and at max 3 caps stretched out over a day's length (for instance: morning, noon, night doses)?

Thanks ahead of time.
 
Only you know your own tolerance. If you are getting to the point of nodding/drooling then doing MORE probably would put youat risk of OD. Just play it safe, you know how far you should go.

I am only experienced with NJ/NY Powder so not sure about tar/caps, but you know your tolerance.

Be safe !
 
^ that's pretty much what I'm thinking.

not sure how much experience you have with dope, but if you had a habit before, you know tolerance will shoot right back up to where it was fairly quickly. so if you've been using for 2 weeks like this, your tolerance will be pretty high probably.

so its kind of up to you is what I'm reiterating. only you know for sure.
 
Personally, whenever I use benzos, especially alprazolam, before having a shot of smack, I end up just passing out and waking up after the high has worn off. My girl is exactly the same. I've played around with different dosages with both drugs and still almost always just pass out. I usually only combine the two if the dope is weak.
