So...latly...I'v been REALLY health concious. Like... I stopped shooting up about 3 weeks ago just cause of my paranoia about al lthe diseases and shit.

WELL...I want to chip. Now I'm doing it no matter what so thanks for the concern but don't bother talking me out of it.

I don't have the time or means to get microns. So. I DONT want a one line post "nothing is better than micron" or anything to that affect. I KNOW

I just want some good legit advice on how to filter the BEST way possibly to filter with cotton/cutips.

Please don't close this for the god only knows how many reasons you have to. I dont suggest anyone else doing it without microns but since I am anyway just help me be safe.

Thanks.
 
All I can think of its cotton rolled into a ball , that's what I'd do should be pretty safe for roxicodone , besides a few particles that can go in the veins that would build up over consistent use just stear clear of using regularly , don't add heat . But there are these cotton ball filter things that dispensaries give out I think but idk how to access those .
 
Filtering pills using cotton cannot filter out particles smaller that 50um while micron filters get out particles larger than something like 0.2um to 0.8um depending on size. Any particles larger than 5-20um can obstruct your capillaries and cause pulmonary embolisms and all kinds of fucked up shit.

There is no safe way to shoot up pills using cotton, but if you insist on doing so then be sure not to heat the pill/water solution before filtering - it will only cause more bullshit to get incorporated into the water.
 
Filter, backload, filter.

Cotton filter like you normally would. Then place a new cotton in the barrel of a new syringe (you take the plunger out first), and squirt the filtered solution from the first syringe into the back of back of the other syringe. Squirt the solution through this syringe into a clean cooker, and then filter it once again with a new cotton and syringe. In total you will have filtered the solution 3x which is still not as good as micron filtering, but better than a single cotton filter.
 
What I used to do was just filter by backloading which is mentioned above (basically you designate a syringe as your filter syringe), and I'd pack it full of cotton torn from q-tips to the 20 or 30 unit mark. If you want to be extra careful you can do multiple filtrations (dont think thats a word, so i made it up?) as was mentioned above, but i was personally too paranoid of potentially losing small amounts of residual volume with each cotton my solution passed through (you can never quite squeeze out every last drop, ya feelz?) so I usually just stuck with 1 "good" filtration.

Haven't shot roxi's in almost 2 years though. Haven't shotten anything in that matter for 2 years (dam has it rly been that long? maybe i'll break the rigs out again this summer haha jk?), but I find that injecting roxi's was mostly a waste from my experience. Yes it'll get you that nod quickly and you'll be really high for about 45 minutes, but after that I found the high to be extremely lacking in quality. Have you tried plugging? It's much safer and I find it to be WAY more effective. Oxy doesn't quite give you that rush like some Dillies would, which is why i would save the rigs for substances that are able to cross the blood brain barrier more efficiently.

When you plug you also get to enjoy the euphoria for a solid 4 hours, and it'll be slightly stronger than your normal oral dose. When you plug you also don't have to filter anything, so as long as you've had a recent bowel movement you're sure to get the most out of your pill. The come-up will happen much quicker than snorting as well, and if you do it right you should start to feel effects within a couple minutes.

Then there's the issue of tolerance. Do you like the dosage you're doing now? The quicker a drug crosses the blood brain barrier, the faster your body is going to build up a response to that drug and increase your tolerance. You can bet that if you start shooting your roxi's you will start to notice your tolerance rising rather quickly. I kind of got to the point where i couldn't afford to get high anymore, and now here I am on practically a 2 year oxy break (took like 4 months off once and tolerance didn't go down much at all, so i'm expecting great things from 2 years this time)

Anyways, wish you the best in whatever you decide to do and sorry if any of my suggestions have already crossed your mind.
 
Well thanks guy...guess what though? I couldnt do it. I just felt so guilty and just plugged, sniffed, and swallowed the third. I guess I am getting smarter coming here haha.
 
^That's good man.. Shooting pills is bad. Shooting oxy is pointless (IMO).

However, Tommyboys advice is pretty good about the backloading, but of course it's not ideal, and doesn't compare to a micron filter.

I tried that once and it got clogged. But I tried sucking it up not bacloading. Ayway..I guess that chapter of my life is behind me and Im enjoying the high very much without the guilt of what im doing to me veins :)

You should keep this open though to help others without access to microns.
 
^ Yea I remembered you mentioned something similar to backloading in your other thread so I wasn't going to mention it in my post before, but then decided to include it since you might have done it wrong. I would never count on just backloading though, so I would suggest filtering it again, preferably both before and after the backload filter.
 
Either you spend a fwe cents per shot micron filtering with areal filter or you shoot shit into your body and nock a few months off every time the plunger hits bottom. Personally id rather shoto dope cotton filtered and feel pretty safe because its so clean

A perfect example of why you may want to read posts not just the title.
 
All I read was "it should be pretty safe for roxicodone".

I'm from Europe and I don't know what roxidodone looks like, what the inactive ingredients are... but it's a pill. That's enough.

ALL pills MUST be filtered! There is no exception to that. "But it's instant release!". No. That doesn't matter. It's risky as hell.
I would go even further and say that EVERYTHING you're going to inject must be micron-filtered with a 0,22µm micron filter. They're not that expensive (in my opinion). I wouldn't inject if I had no micron-filters. And if I say I wouldn't, then I mean I WOULD NEVER inject without a micron-filter. I did inject without it three years ago. Because of the talc I soon suffered from various symptoms that I won't go into. They were very unpleasant. My arms and legs were tingling and I couldn't feel them anymore. That's normal if you inject talc over a longer period of time.

Filter everything you're going to inject. Filter heroin, cocaine, meth... too. You'd be surprised how much clearer the solution looks - even when you're "dissolving" #3 heroin (heroin base, which is sold as an extremely cut brown powder... in Europe it hardly ever goes beyond the 10% mark - with the 10% being the heroin; most common is 0-5% ) with ascorbic acid or citric acid.


There is no safe method to inject pills unless you filter them properly with micron filters. There are pills that aren't safe, even if they are micron filtered. For example new the time-release shit they developed in the USA for the OP oxys... that must've been... *cough* ...HARD TO SWALLOW for all the people grinding up the OC's... ^^ No, just kidding. I really feel for you guys.
It's just another attempt to get more people over to the illegal heroin market, because the (global) government (especially their "USA subsidiary") earns tons of money by selling drugs (and I don't mean pharmaceuticals... I mean real street heroin, cocaine and so forth) - and at the same time PROHIBITING THEM!
 
You are on a harm reduction site.. there simply is no safe way to shoot pills without a micron filter.

YOu can cotton filter all you want and it will not change things. There is no way to manipulate cotton in some magical way to make it safe man..

But whatever dude it's your body.. youve got the time and means to buy roxis dont get why you couldnt buy microns?
 
Effie showed me this great thread which shows why micron filters are essential for HR, and also why you shouldn't heat pills or anything else (I know you don't heat your stuff, but I'm mentioning it for other people).
 
Lots of good posts above re: harm reduction. fwiw, roxies are the ONLY drug I'd rather insufflate or eat than bang. Last time I banged I did 4 qualitest 30s (markings v 48|12 ), and was pretty horrified about how much blue dye came into the shot... looked like shooting up Windex. Really did nothing for me rush-wise. Bioavailability orally is like 87%, not sure insufflated (Ive heard a lot less but it still my fave route). I can see why people bang hydromorphone and oxymorphone since they have nice rushes and shit bioavailability orally but roxies... best harm reduction is eat them like you're supposed to. Im sure with a small fatty meal or a tiny bit of alcohol you can get absorbtion near 100%. (I dont ever recommend mixing drugs).
 
I kept to my non shooting spree of about 3 weeks. But I realize ALOT of other people do this. so let's keep it up.

And once again you may want to have read a few posts...especially the one where I decided NOT to shoot it before being a condescending dick. k? thx.
