can you turn down a shot of dope?

As long as its a clean, new rig, then absolutely not.

I have turned down dope when it would have meant sharing a rig, though, even when dopesick as all fuck. I absolutely will not share a rig, with anyone, ever. Usually, though, when I turned down dope in that situation, it was only temporary... as in, I had to go to the pharmacy or my house to procure a rig, then I was right back... but there have been a handful of times when it meant staying sick so I remained sick until I was able to use in a way that I felt comfortable.
 
what if you have a friend that is a long time opiate user but only uses a spike on occasion and isint proficient at working up or hitting themselves. would you help them out and work thier shot up if they offered you a free shot for your trouble. i feel like this adds another angle to the question. is it ok to feed your addiction while enabling someone else to go down the same road your traveling? is that free shot worth it?


original question~its very hard for me to turn one down unless ive already done sub the day in question or really trying to stay clean. 90% of the time id take it.

If I turned it down, I would have to go get my head checked. I love opioids way too much. If someone gave me wings, that'd be fantastic, too. As of right now, my arms are taking a beating ):
 
There's no way in hell I'd turn down a shot of dope. If it was a question of willpower or there was some reason for me to turn it down--like a probation drop--I could. But if there were no strings attached, I'd have that shit in my arm so fuckin fast :D
 
I could turn it down but only because I only insufflate. I'm sure it would be hard if I banged it, though. I've "turned down" bumps before, but only at the time, (if I had to go to take an exam or see my family, etc), and I've come back to take it when it was more convenient for me. I only do drugs with my boyfriend for the most part, so if I turn it down, it's always there for me later when I'm ready.
 
Yea, I can, but my life is different now. For me saying yes to a shot is like saying yes to "do you want to nod out and neglect your baby for the next couple hours and transfer heroin to him in your breastmilk?" So its pretty easy answer.

In the past back when i was a dope feen, I could turn it down under certain circumstances--I was on probation and if it was less than 4 days before I had to go piss for my PO I'd def. turn it down becuz turning up dirty = no more shootin dope. I would say no to dope so that i could say yes to dope the second I left the courthouse after my appt with my PO was finished.

So i guess it depends on the situation. You askin a standard dopefeen with no restrictions, no probation or piss tests comin up, etc, then thats a diff. storyI guess.
 
Something about having the shot right there is so much worse than trying to quit when there's no dope in sight.

Yeah its harder to not do it if your in the throws of withdraw. But, if you've been off of it for a minute or are on say buprenorphine then its not to incredibly hard to turn one down.......Iv done it before but only because I was using subutex. Also have chosen money over dope in situations where I was getting one or the other.

Hey! Are you my girlfriend? ;)

But seriously, yes, I can turn down a shot of dope but for the same reason. I am just not down with the IV ROA, and that's nothing against those who are, but you know, it's just not my thing.

If it were a bump, though, could I turn it down? I could, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to...

cept' for this occasion..
 
ugh, i hate to say it but i dont think i could turn it down. Even though i am on enough methadone to completely block a shot, just that feel of registering and seeing that huge dark crimson flash mix in with the amber yellow and then bam lol

even a line of oxy or something, id still probably take it if it were offered to me for free. I know better than buying shit now a days because even when i buy a lot its just not as good anymore, esp being on the deathadone.
 
I noticed in the last page or so people brought up the issue of the rig being shared, and that being a situation where the shot would be unquestionable turned down. Sadly, I must confess that I have taken someone else's used needle, cleaned the shit out of it with bleach and boiling water, and used it when I was really fiending. The stupidest thing I have ever done while sick is taken a ig that was filled with a fucked shot that the other guy had given up on after getting a register and then missing too many times, thus creating a needle with like 60 units of coagulated blood. I have emptied the contents into s spoon, boiled like hell, re-administered water into the mix, boiled some more, filtered, and then shot. Not one of my proudest moments. :/

But it happened, and I cant change the past.

In the spirit of harm reduction, I can not stress enough how bad these actions were. They could have killed me and there is obviously a chance that I may still die because of that stupid shit I did.
 
Hey dont be ashamed CB, ive shared sets with a few people when i was usin without even bleachin or washin the shit other than just drawin up water a couple times and rinsing it out. It was people that I knew well , close friends that i trusted and shit who was like 'i aint got shit i swear' and a couple of em was fresh out from jail where they had been tested so it was a up to date and all that, but lookin at it now im like yo, why the fuck did i trust their word? How did i just trust them with my life like that? the fuck was i thinkin? let me think, off the top of my head i think thers 4 people i shared with on the regular, but may be one or two more. I dont think so tho. And it wasnt even a one time desperation thing, i didnt think nothing of it at the time and did it all the time. and thats fucked up when i think of it now. I been tested tho more than once and by the grace of Allah I aint got no diseases to show for it so Im a lucky one but real talk i look back now at some of the shit i use to do and just be like damn, i was really playin with my life, for really real I coulda ended up with a whole lot worse to show for those years than i did. shit like that is how i ended up with some type of religion becuz I cant not believe in god after gettin out of that shit alive without a single disease to show for it...

anyways...

Yall who be like "Im a total feen, i could never turn down a shot of dope--unless it was a clean set", just be thankful you aint enough of a 'total dope feen' to not even care about sharin a set.

Word bond, there was one time that I was sick as hell and one of my boys offered me a free bag but i had a big habit and one bag wasnt shit, but i still took it anyways you know, but he only had one set that he had used...and I knew as a fact he was hiv+....and Im sad to admit that for about a half hour i was debatin with myself like "yo if i just soak it in bleach for like 5 minutes maybe i can use it, cuz sniffin it aint gonna do nothing i need to shoot it to have it be worth anything, im sure bleach will be fine...etc..." and i honestly had to talk myself out of usin that set. It should be a HELL NO!! situation--shit, it should be a hell no situation to share at ALL, even if you know the person aint got nothing, but damn, a fatal fuckin disease that you can die from that you will have your whole life, and I was honestly considering just bleachin it out and using it....finally I was like yo girl get yourself together this shit aint worth it for one fuckin bag youll regret this shit someday if you do it, you about to take your life in your hands even more than you do every other day, and that was one of the few smart moments i had durin all my using years. but damn yo.

and that is the exact OPPOSITE of harm reduction and goes against everything we here for but im keepin it real with yall and tellin my story truthfully no sugar coat you feel me.
 
im 3 months clean from meth.

i had the chance to do some last month...not too long ago. my bf had some, i could have done it...i almost did. i really dont know how i said no.

usually if its in front of me, free, offered to me, theres no way in HELL that i say no...
 
being a dope fiend i probably would if its front of me. but. i cut off anyone related to dope, for my own good. clean 4 mths off it. trials n tribulations of being a H addict at its low.

pop pills n drink every now n than but thats about it, nothing to a habitual nature
 
Maybe something like seeing my dad's or mom's fase with tears running down, but other than that, fuck no.
Seeing my parents cry because of my behaviour always cuts deep :/
 
Im 6 months clean from dope today but if someone offered me a rig and some dope i wouldn't hesitate to shoot it..
