I have never use needles/syringes to shoot heroin into my body.

I am however a Type 1 diabetic so I inject using syringes 6-8 times a day.

I am a needle veteran. :D
 
Love the needle. The sharper the better, I actually enjoy that feeling of the point sliding underneath my skin to rest in the vein, teasing out a few drops of blood before the push. That's my favorite part, the push....where you can feel the drug coursing through your system while you inject it.

Theres a BIG difference between injecting insulin under your skin and finding a vein to shoot some dope in. It's not that hard to pinch your skin and inject some insulin, but I have seen hardcore dope fiends literally feel out sunken in veins on the sides of their thighs and on their neck and somehow get their dope in their veins. Thats what I call a needle veteran.
 
I don't know if I posted in this thread before but I love the needle.

It's probably my favorite ROA for IV'able substances. I used to absolutely hate needles but after enough positive reinforcement (through relieving dope sickness and wild opiated sex) I slowly learned to love the needle. The whole process is addictive; hustling money, going to cop, copping, leaving the hood, fixing your shot, shooting up, having hot steamy opiated sex and repeating.

It's not the same when you sniff, the needle/fixing up a shot adds a whole new aspect to an already addictive process. The taboo aspect is huge too...the whole 'this is wrong' thing just makes it hotter. Sex and needles is like double taboo and builds a bond of 'this is our little secret' and we're partners in crime. Having your girl shoot you up, or you shooting her up and just watching the rush hit her and then having sex is fucking awesome.

It's probably why even though I can't cop (no connects) and haven't used in months, I still haven't thrown out my pack of needles.:\
And even though I know I should, I don't want to let go just yet.
 
Nothing is better then a fresh rig. I hate absorbing drugs any other way. It just seems inefficient. The only thing that sucks about using works for everything is that ...if you don't have one or your rig gets clogged...it's like running out of your drug of choice. It sucks so much. My boyfriend got pissed one time and broke the tip off my last rig and flushed it down the toilet. ...needless to say I wasn't happy. (mainly because I hadn't shot up yet!) He said he's never seen me more angry.

but overall -- I fucking love needles. I'd frame one and hang it on my wall if I could.

ohhh man do I love the needle, I think IVing in itself can be an addiction.

I do hate what it does to me and my friends/family though, but that goes for the drugs itself too...I love smoking crack because it feels so good, but I hate the consequences(which are pretty harsh)

anyone who doesn't have this love/hate relationship with a needle hasn't been shooting for long enough IMO

i agree 100% that IVing can be an addiction in itself, i know theres been plenty of times where ive shot water when i had no drugs just because i love the feeling
 
It depends whats in the needle. If im in one of my retarded moods and im shooting oxy with a cotton then I hate the needle.

But of course if theres some speed, crystal meth or heroin on my rig them im very happy and I love the needle when theres clean drugs in them. I am not addicted to the needle as I sniff drugs that cal be shot by preference all the time but when some good quality clean heroin or speed comes through then im in for the rush and that clean feeling ofa nice shot.

I heart the needle.
 
I hate to repeat what so many have already said, but it's all true. The relationship a junkie has with his needle is as a baby is to his mother- He cannot live without it. Not using anyway. Sure, I love it. I wish I could say I hate it, and part of me thinks I do, but the stronger part of me seems to be the love. As I was once told, in rehab stay #1 of 8, separation from your DOC, which includes the needle, is as if one is literally grieving a death. And true that is. I felt like some part of me died when I got clean the first time. Of course, that part came back to life a mere 21 days later, but that's when another part of me died. Once you stick, it's like being hitched to a truck- you're going to get dragged along by that needle until you WANT to stop. Even then it seems impossible. And like others, injecting water remains a common practice. Actually, I inject benadryl just because it gives the "taste". If you don't know the taste of a shot of dope, then you're blessed.

I lost my best friend to an OD in 2001, just before he was to turn 21. He was the first to shoot me up, and I had to beg. I just couldn't afford snorting anymore. Days later I couldn't afford shooting. Years later, time served, rehabs attended, methadone and others tried, and I still know I've got another one in me. Sad.

RIP William Dean Jackson
 
i hate what they can do to irresponsible people.
i hate getting poked by them.
i hate the stigma around needles.
i love what they can be used for.
 
My best/worst friend. Like others have mentioned, it's not just the shooting up that you fall in love with. It's the whole process. Besides the rush(obviously) my favorite part of it all is seeing the blood flow into the shot once you hit a vein. That last moment of preparation before it's finally time to feel the warmth has a magic all it's own.
I fucking love needles, but wish I had never started with them. Same old story....8)
 
i respect needles as what they are, another ROA to dose whatever drug with...that is it. what, is there gonna be a thread next asking if people hate the straw or the foil or the pipe? lol
 
There should be a 4th option:

Addicted to the needle, and wished I didn't need it.

Seriously, after becoming accustomed to the quick onset and rush, I don't know if I can ever go back to oral administration for pills if I have the opportunity to shoot them - and that scares the shit outta me. My luck I'll end up losing a limb to necrotizing fasciitis, get an abscess, or end up sick with endocarditis or septicemia. All of these things scare me so much that if I think of them I feel like crying; instead I prep a shot and spike up, so I can forget about how, little by little, I am destroying my body.
