Heroin Can I retrieve the dope left in syringes?

[bobbyjones]

So I bought a box syringes that have a much fatter tube than normal, plus the needle is long and attaches to the syringe itself. For that reason there are a couple of different areas the drugs flow through before coming out the needle. I've used these syringes over the last few days and there is a fair amount of heroin left in each one, that doesn't seem to come out when pushed normally.

My question is this, if I am able to get the stuff out, can I use it even though a bit of my blood might be mixed in there? I remember being told once that blood "coagulates" so you can't shoot it up if it stays outside your body for too long. I know these syringes have a touch of my blood in there but there's also a decent amount of dark, liquid dope. Can I get it back and us it? Or is it contaminated?

It's contaminated, and there's probably less heroin than you'd think anyway.

Blood exposed to air is an excellent place for viruses, bacteria etc to grow. Whatever you do, don't IV with the residue in there.

Throw it away. You forgot that there are now cultures of bacteria...

Darn, there's a pretty good amount. Thanks for the heads up though fellas; I'm tossing it.
