Blue lights may get green light in battle against drugs

has anyone here injected under those blue lights? how hard is it to hit really.

seems like anyone junky enough to shoot up in a public bathroom/stairwell is going to be familiar enough with their veins that this wouldn't pose much of a problem

A strong blue light will make veins literally invisible.

We got around that problem by marking our veins with a red line beforehand :)
 
I first saw blue lights in a Morrisons toilet...then the town library, and was really shocked about it. More the fact that shooting up was an issue in those places, and that it was deemed necessary to install lights because of the problem. Every-one should have a right to any drug they wish in their home (hey alchohol's legal), but surely no-one can disagree that kids shouldn't have to see people shooting up? maybe if those who use drugs were more discreet and respectful, they wouldn't have the reputation non-users give them, and gradually opnion would shift, and laws could change?

YThat part was uncalled for. Keep judgemental piece of shit comments like that to yourself. Your really opening a Pandoras Box with statements like that on Bluelight.

I think he/she was being sarcastic ;)
 
Ok, I've never shot anything up in my life, however, working as a phlebotomist for years and years I know how veins work and all about getting into them.

Is it just me, or is this pointless??? The veins that are big enough to shoot/draw blood from aren't the spindly blue ones you can see, they're the ones you feel under the skin.
 
Blue lights to keep junkies from shooting up in front of children...what a strange concept.
 
strange that so many people here have had no contact with blue lighting. i've never iv'd and as such I can't say make this claim with absolute conviction, but bluelight does seem to make it near impossible to illuminate your veins. there are sporadic blue incandescent lights throughout the red light district in sydney (doorsteps etc) and as kids we would always try and test the theory out. im not talking about shooting up, but we'd stand underneath them and try and locate veins. now my short term memory is pretty much shot, but i remember experiencing extreme difficulty. compare that with someone who's been shooting up everyday for the last year and im sure it's not that difficult to locate a vein, wherever you are.

blue lights wont keep the junkies away, just funnel them into a different (most probably, proximate) location and they give the area a real seedy feel to it. strange responses in this thread; i was under the impression this technique was used on a widespread scale.
