Dopeheads, how do you like to dose your dope?

So I was talking to one of my junkie friends and he told me he preferred taking all his dope in one shot. I realized I am the opposite and this makes me heroin usage especially hard on my veins.

I prefer to split my dope into a 2-3, even four (if I am not trying to conserve). So for example, lets say it takes me 120 mg of heroin to get nice and noddy. Instead of shooting 120 al at once, I will shoot 40 mg. Then after the initial buzz wears off (half an hour to an hour) I will shot another 40 mg, wait another half hour to an hour and shoot the final 40 mg. I like small doses better. Some days I will shoot even smaller doses. I have been knwon to shoot up as much as 10 times per day.

Now I am sure some of you are wondering why? Why do I do this? Well, it's because I like the initial part of the high the best. I find it the most euphoric and energetic, whereas the later stages of the high tend to make me sluggish, tired and even depressed sometimes (anyone else get this?). By splitting up my dose, I can experiencing the initial stages of the high for a longer period. I also get to have three rushes, although obviously each rush is less intense it would be were I to inject the whole dose at once and the rush from the third shot is generally pretty crappy. However, I do still get a slight rush and I absolutely LOVE the feeling of the rush, even if its only a very small rush. In fact, I don't like the feeling of a super intense rush. I can be too much for me and sometimes causes pain and itching. I like the feeling of several small shots. Each one gives me a boost, so to speak. I feel like with IV use especially, the high peaks immediately and then it's all downhill from there, the many hours after the shot. So, shooting several small doses helps level things out and keeps the high more consistent as opposed to intense at the bginning and then lagging behind after that.

ANyway, I am just wondeiring if I am the only one who likes doing several small shots as opposed to one big one?
 
Yes I like the rush but I also like the early part of the high, where I have a lot of energy. I don't like the later stages of the high where I get sluggish and tired. Thus I find that doing lower doses, gives me more energy and less sedation.
 
Essentially you are manipulating your IV doses to mimic the effects you got from the nasal ROA. This is another reason to stop IVing, get your tolerance back down, and try to return to the nasal ROA, or quit using heroin altogether.

You have started 13 threads about IV heroin since switching to that ROA a short time ago (around Dec 17th). I'm not trying to get on your case about it, I'm just hoping that you see how quickly the complications have stacked up, and that it's really not worth it for you to continue on this path.
 
Tommyboy is making a very good point about this since it seems you arent THAT deep into using IVing as your ROA. you could always taper back to nasal but then again we're talking to a druggie and im not saying that to put you down at all. Its just something most of us know about and when you tell one to stop they'll keep going and wont listen to a request like that if its going to effect their high.

I wouldn't say that. The problem with nasal administration for me, was that it lasted too long. Let's say for example, I got really high in the morning via snorting. I would be tired, sluggish and out of it, the ENTIRE rest of the day. If I do an IV dose in the morning, by evening it has worn off and I am ready for action. So I actually often prefer the short duration of IV use because it although it means the positive effects wear off more quickly, so do the negative.

I agree with the guy who said nasal adminstration hits harder. I find that its a lot more difficult to nod from IV heroin. NAsal gets me more intoxicated and for longer. I don't really like that though, I don't like nodding because I tend to have bad dreams. So thats another reason why I prefer IV and refuse to go back to nasal.

Anyway though, I do plan to take your advice and quit using altogether. I reeally really want to get clean acrtually. I very nearly did a couple of weeks ago but relapsed. I know I won't relapse if I could just get through the withdrawal again, because I dont want to be on dope any more. I dont enjoy it like I used to, its actually a hassle, having to score and fix just to stay well.
 
I understand wanting to have as many rushes out of your dope as possible, I just find it surprising your able to keep getting good rushes cutting your dose up like that, I guess you have a relatively low tolerance. On my last heroin binge, I was always using about a bundle of dope a day, and I always did my morning shot with three bags, two bags in the early afternoon, two bags in the evening, and then another three before bed, which I was usually doing as a speedball with some cocaine. I really only got good rushes in the morning, the rest of the day it was kind of just maintaining, which is why I got really into shooting the coke... Id never stolen so much money in my life...

For some reasons oxymorphone always gave me an awesome rush, even when I'd shoot a quarter of a pill after usually shootin a whole 10mg IR, I would still get a fucking amazing rush.
 
I dose a little bit every 30 mins to 2 hours, depending on what I'm doing. I IV a few times a week, mostly use insufflation as my ROA of choice (basically because I have a small fear of shoving a needle in my arm - I've tried many many times... basically I'm a pussy. I have GREAT veins, and when someone else is hitting 'for me' it's super easy/fast/painless).

My tolerance has gone up way too much in the past week (or two). My morning dose is about 2-3 bags to stop the sweating. Then I'll do a half bag a little later to stop the cold, then more half bags throughout the day until either 1) I no longer feel the urge/craving to crush something up and sniiiifff, or I'm too broke to cave. I usually have my first bit around 11 am (after I use the restroom sufficiently, you all know what I'm talking about!!!) and use my last bit around 2 am.

If I only did a shot (or insufflated a large amount in the morning) I would still want to ACT/use throughout the day, and would just end up wasting the dope. Maybe I'm more addicted to being addicted, than to the substance/s (?).
 
On the extremely rare occasion I can get heroin here in Japan, I actually like to swallow it. I really enjoy sitting there waiting for it to come on, that's why pills have always appealed to me. If I feel my stomach contents could impede the high in anyway I might snort or smoke it. I've never shot it though.

Maybe your question wasn't directed at the occasional user however.
 
I thought heroin had an incredibly low BA?? Although In William Burrough's book junky he does talk about people swallowing it capsules, but I've never heard of anyone doing that till just now
 
Yeah that's probably true since the rush and high are almost always more powerful with smoking and insufflating, but I still prefer swallowing about 500mg, I love the wait almost as much as the rush, that's a strange preference though but still...I enjoy it.

Not to mention, it is probably a bit wasteful since it may not be as effective when dosed this way, but swallowing it seems to take away the taboo from heroin for me, I have a hard time forcing myself to dose other ways, especially IV.
 
Yeah i can understand that, but you would probably get a lot higher snorting like a fifth of that. 500 mg seems like a lot of dope to waste on a poor ROA especially if it's rare, but at the same time, heroin does carry that stigma. I know a lot of people that would take oxy, vicodens, but never touch heroin. At the same time a lot of people go from oxy to heroin so you never know. Stigma was with me from day one, cause I started off with heroin. I never even saw an OxyContin until I had already been injecting dope for about three years.
 
Insulfating, although I have a lot of panic attacks wondering if I took too much should take more. Shooting is by far the best ROA although I have a hard time controlling myself once I go there. Smoking is an easy, and often wasteful way, but easy to control your high and quite mellow for me. Up the ass is also good, possibly the 2nd best. Swallowing I have never done. Sounds interesting though.
 
I would think swallowing would sort of defeat the purpose of heroin, that's why I don't get it. It's not that I'm judging anyone about oral heroin, it just seems that what makes heroin heroin is its fast onset, really through insufflation,rectal,smoked or injected. I would imagine oral heroin to be like oral morphine
 
I agree, Why not take oxy's? Much higher BA and if you are opposed to the stigma of the needle or... then take a drug that gets you the highest from eating it. Oxy is your drug. Heroin sounds like it is not. JMO.

Why not indeed.

They don't make them anymore. That's why I don't use oxycontin anymore. I would have insufflated myself into death so I guess the switch from OC to OP was the best thing in the long run.

But judas priest on a stick, I miss it.
