Drug Use You Have Seen That Goes Against Harm Reduction

Apparently my friend thought it would be a great idea to go for a drive with his brother after his brother had taken 2C-B for the first time. My friend was mostly sober, yet his brother who was tripping balls on a psychedelic for the first time was driving with the car while also smoking weed


Sometimes it's like people just have no sense :\
 
I mean strictly speaking of LSD, I know a lot of people who can drive on it! As long as you're not losin it or having a bad trip or whatever....There's no way you're not seein that car comin up on your left!

Still, a bad idea all and all....but I've known people who could drive tripping with no apparent problems.....Definitely a bad idea though, you can't count on it having the same effect every time!
 
^ ability to drive whilst tripping also has a lot to do with what kind of area you live in. rural, small town, suburb, deserted highway... all doable. driving in LA is a fucking madhouse, LSD or not, and i have definitely been the poor soul deemed strong enough to be forced tripping behind the wheel to navigate my crew through a few urban psychedelic hell-rides. it was stupid, reckless, and certainly far from our only option. but lucy can be a seductive little slut, firmly casting all reason and accountability aside in the name what her journey demands.
 
I forgot to mention one of the main examples that inspired this thread.

When I first started smoking weed would we buy regs and roll a bunch of joints with it. Well one kid would wait until the joints got down to a little roach, and do what he called a "fireball." I doubt this is a very known practice, so I will explain.

He would hit the end of the joint really hard, and then let go of it and inhale the roach into his lungs. I saw him do 4 in a row one time and it was just nasty, and he wondered why he had such a nasty cough after that. I'm sure it had nothing to do with having a bunch of burnt weed and rolling paper in his lungs though. 8( He ended up dying of a heroin overdose so I will never know if those fireballs did any permanent damage to his lungs, but it's probably safe to assume it did. I'm sure he had at least 20 of them in his lungs, maybe more.

This is fucking hilarious. I actually had to read it 3 times to make sure it actually said what I thought it did. How does one even come up with such ideas? I doubt he'd get any effects off it.
 
watched my own sis trying to shoot up in the neck cos she couldn't even hit the femoral any more but that just takes the cake.

i had the dis-pleasure of hitting a mate in the neck, all for killing his curiosity. i was a few years into the IVing thing, he was new, so he had no reason.

it was meth too, so no doubt it was going to to a number is not kill him if i missed much, maybe any. he held his throat tight enough for the vein to become easily visible, i registered and slowly started injecting. it went all smooth somehow because i was shakey afterwards and hadn't even had my shot. after i calmed the nerves i finally got to enjoy my shot in my own manner.

all that risk for a tiny quicker and more powerful onset when already IVing :\
 
Like a lot of these posts, I've got sloppy IV stories. Needles were hard to come by in the 90s, so I reused and reused. I would sharpen them on matchbooks.

I'm not sure if this counts as HR, but the dangerous, desperate people you meet as a junkie can really fuck you up. You start running with them just to hook up and the next thing you know they're part of your day to day. And if you weren't high or sick all the time, you'd be scared of them

Ooh, I've got tons of stories about crazy shit I've seen people do that is the antithesis of harm reduction. Here's a few:

A woman who I went to score with was driving her car, at a red light she injected cocaine into her neck with a used syringe, into a vein that looked like it was already infected.

A guy I knew was fiending for coke and found some chunks of drywall on the floor, but he put them in with his collection of stuff he thought might be bits of coke from the floor and insisted on injecting it all just on the off chance some of it might actually be coke (ugh, it didn't even dissolve properly).

People handing out pills at parties or school without even knowing what they are and people taking them without knowing what they are.

People drawing up heroin to share using their syringe which they have used before, then squirting some into the other person's syringe as though that somehow makes it safe 8).
 
Least your honest about it.

Lets see.. some recent lack of HR I've seen... I saw a guy take a shit in the park yesterday (outside in the cold) and then sit on a bench and shoot up directly afterwards, no washing of the hands involved... Gatta love NYC.
Scary!! Did he even wipe his butt?! I almost stepped in human feces once while trying to score in the downtown homeless district. Atleast they were kind enough to make their poops on a piece of cardboard and not dirwctly on sidewalk. Most people downtown poo in 5 gal buckets.
 
a 5 gallon bucket is probably bigger than my toilet/cistern. they got no room or reason to miss either.

i don't know how i missed that mr scag., but i fucking lol'd (the weed) as revolting as it is. i've shot up in some dodgy public toilets and never again. i'll save myself the herpes or hepatitis or staph or what the fuck ever is floating around in some of those places.
 
I've stupidly shared water that my boyfriend and I were drinking out of to cook up with.

The worst I've seen, and I was actually in the car for this, nodding out in the back, and didn't know any of this until later, with the driver high on heroin and getting road head..

Also the kids at raves snorting drugs off the hella dirty metal part of the toilet paper roll in the bathroom stalls.
 
I watched someone shoot up another person, than take the dirty needle, fill it with water, and squirt it in HIS OWN mouth. ::shudder::
 
Ive actually taken a drive right as I took LSD once because our weed guy fucked us over and the ither guy I knew was like 30 mins away round trip but we hit traffic on the way back and the last 5 mins was pretty intense

so the moral is, to have a your drugs lined up before you take the psychs
 
I have to say the worst thing, I have done that was a horrible practice of HR was driving on LSD from LA to Orange county after an underground psytrance party. I took around 500 ug earlier in the night but towards 4 am my girl was not digging it any more and had to leave. I felt ok to drive.... I made it home safe but I will never do it again. Especially, near LA.... Way to many billboards and bright lights 8o
Other than that I generally follow good HR practices.
 
Worst thing I've seen: a guy who'd already lost one leg to DVTs stabbing a 23 gauge blue needle into the running, open sore that was his entry point to the femoral vein on the remaining 'good' leg, a leg being treated for, yup, DVTs. Oddly enough the guy was dead not long after. I've seen some sick shit, watched my own sis trying to shoot up in the neck cos she couldn't even hit the femoral any more but that just takes the cake. Made me wanna vomit, could never bring myself to be around the guy again, no way I wanted to see that shit. Too close to home about where my own habit might lead though I like to think I'd have quit long before I ever got that desperate, this guy was just passed all caring.

Worst thing I've done: I dunno but cooking up with water pulled straight out the bowl of a public toilet when I couldn't fill up from a tap and couldn't afford a bottle of water has gotta be up there. Boiled the shit out of it before even putting the H in it but even so, when you find yourself doing shit like that it's time to have a long, hard word with yourself isn't it? Still did it again, good few times.

Oh shit ive seen something so similar to that it was fucking nasty. I knew this old whiye dude who used to be the man back in the 70s but now hes just a wrinkle dirt bag. He acquired HIV from shooting up w a prostitue in ny in the 80S and now he has full blown AIDS. He has a gigantic 6-8" open sore on his right leg, im talking about oozy dark red flesh. Fuckin nasty. He sits on his cot all day long with a bucket of lukewarm water and a washrag and is always high on crack and cleaning his leg off with this nasty disease infested water and rag scrubbing it then rinsing the rag in water, wringing it out and repeating, trying to wash it clean and find a good vein to inject his heroin into.

He was such a weird fuckin dude. He would pay people in crack to look out the peephole the entire night. His name was kat and he called his dung hole dungeon of a studio apt the kat cave. He would trip out when he was doing his shot, no one could talk or even breathe or text on their phone because he needed "complete silence" or would start yelling at you.
 
I seen many off crack heads and heroin addicts in my day. But In my opinion the worst drug of all is Alcohol. Ive seen booze eat away peoples souls too many times. And the worst part is since booze is legal it doesnt get as much bad press as it should. Booze is the true gateway to harder drug use. Not Marijuana. I have two friends currently who quit smoking reefer for work and they drink like fish now more so then they did in the past. Both of them told me straight up that they would trade bong packs for booze any day of the week. But the legal system is fucked. So yeah My vote is for Alcohol.
 
Watching a friend of mind crushing Xanax, oxy, heroin, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamine and diazepam all into a fine powder and proceeding to snort it. This was after he had about 5 cans of beer - thinking it would be a great idea to mix all of his drugs together.

Needless to say he survived, but he was incredibly fucked up for the next 4 hours. He was drooling everywhere, rocking around in his chair and was talking but it was literally him going "flerbagerbadoobieapouishikaabdj". It was fucking horrifying to watch him do it and have to take care of him. I was surprised he did it, and still am to this day. I have no idea how he survived it, but he was pretty fucking intense and had a huge tolerance to all the drugs used. He's a crazy moherfucker. I tend to not spend any time with him anymore after that.
 
Insufflated .2 of MDA, then parachuted another .2 shortly after. Was with two friends who hadn't rolled before, and some new friends who had. We want to go to this park about 2-3 miles away, and one of my buddies is convinced that he isn't rolling. He drives our new friends car about two miles pretty well, and then starts swerving in the lane. We snap out of our dubstep cigarette world, start yelling at him to pull over. Ended all right.

Mixing alcohol and opiates with no one else knowing, taking 5000mg of acetaminophen in the process because I can't do math while I'm drunk.

Snorting untested molly, wasn't molly at all. No idea what it was to this day. I was in a wierd zoned out state, and my buddy claimed he could feel colors. Then we found real MDMA at the concert we went to on whatever it was, and snorting it off my phone.
