Femoral (IV) administration - How does the rush and experience compare to others?

I'm not injecting into my femoral, nor am I considering it. I'm a 5th year med student so I know the considerable and intimidating list of complications and dangers that can occur regarding the practise. Please don't start flaming because I mentioned the topic of femoral injecting.

Dear fellow Bluelighters,

Just a quick question about people who have injected into their femoral veins in the past (specifically opioids being administered), and wanted to ask whether or not the rush and high felt different via this ROA. For example, many people who inject into the antecubital fossa get the rush and taste the hit between 5 and 15 seconds after injecting. How does this differ with the femoral? Is the rush still their or does it get weaker?

I'd be so grateful for any opinions people might have on this matter.

Just one more time: I'm not planning on injecting in my femoral vein. Not now, not ever. This is an academic exercise and is based purely on the interest of anecdotal evidence. I'm not condoning femoral injection, as it can be extremely dangerous and can very easily cause death or worse.

Hi there ill answer this question for you and its YES it's the same, you get a nice decent rush and you can taste it obviously the gear has to be ok, the same as usual but you do feel it the same. Hope this answers your question mate, and one question to you, Wat is worse than death ? Laters

Thanks for the reply mate, that's just the sort of thing I was looking for, much obliged to you sir!

And in response to your question regarding "What is worse than death?" - May I politely posit a couple of notions?

• Damage to the femoral nerve causing paralysis or constant or unrelenting nerve pain until you die.
• Hitting the femoral artery and having particulates and other unwanted substances cause clotting, gangrene and other necroses.
• Missing the femoral vein and severing one of the semenal ducts (if you're a male)!

The list goes on ... for me, death would be a welcome result rather than paralysis, gangrene, unrelenting pain etc. But alas, I see your point - for some, death is indeed the ultimate negative consequence. Once again, thanks for the response buddy - just what I was after.

I would like to know how many people actually use the fem veins to hit? I've seen lots shoot in the most awkward areas but is this really common?

Like the big vein in a woman's breast there is a girl used to cop from that was her roa of choice and it worked for her I'll say. (she was a very heavy set girl and it was a lot more weird than cool to see)
