So, I'm hoping this community will he more helpful than the general public. I don't need judgement, lectures, discouragement. I know what I'm risking, I know my consequences, so forget about that. Now, this is going to be my first experience with drugs other than weed. I'm doing it this weekend, with my boyfriend. Needless to say, this is far from his first time. We have been together two and a half years. This is absolutely one hundred percent my choice. I asked him, the only reason he agreed was so that I wouldn't do it somewhere else, with someone else. So my question is how much should I use for my first time? It's black tar, my boyfriend says it's really good stuff. I will be shooting it up. I am plus size, 14/16 and 5'7. If that helps, we are using a half cc syringe, I believe. On that basis, any advice and/or tips?
 
I think you would have a safe AND a better experience sniffing or smoking it. It takes the body a while to get used to the side effects in order to enjoy the drug. If you IV it the side effects will likely be so bad that you won't enjoy it. You will just get sick, or worse...

Worse even if it's an extremely small amount? Shooting up is my choice. Keep that in mind, please.
 
I started on 40mg but remember quality varies a great deal so you may need less. Be prepared to throw up, it's a pretty standard reaction. Maybe smoke a little first then inject a small amount if you still feel the need. You'll be much less likely to feel nauseous the whole time.

And taking heroin probably was the biggest mistake of my life.

I would lay off the needle. I would approach it the first time by sniffing because like they said your gonna be so sick your gonna hate yourself for it. Hell I sniffed it for like two months and then when i finally shot up i still got sick as shit. Also I know u dont want to hear this but the needle is a bad deal Ive been doing it since that first time i shot up which would be about 8yrs ago and i just cant seem to pull away from the damn thing and i went to a 2yr drug rehab and got out and 3months later was banging up again. Its defiantly not a habit you want to pick up but if you must rock on. Im telling you its like no other drug i almost died like 5times ive sold all my shit got it back and sold it again been in and out of jail dont get me wrong its fun but if i had a chance to go back i would of never done it.

What about 10mg?
 
why would you prefer to bang it instead of sniff/smoke?

you are going from smoking weed....to shooting dope....
 
Weed to IV H? Interesting.

I would suggest such a small amount, probably less than 5 units. The first time I did it, it was tar, and I shared a small piece with my girlfriend(it was her first time also), probably no bigger than a couple of match heads. It seemed like a waste between the two of us, but damn! It laid us out for for a good while. We just laid there on the bed.... enjoying this new experience.. and sweating... a lot.
Looking back I can't believe such a small amount did what it did, so be very careful.

There is a good chance this is true and accurate.
 
Do lots of reading about proper injection technique. Do a practice shot with sterile water first; you will likely miss it, unless you have well presenting veins and no anxiety about injecting.

ONLY use new needles, new cookers, new water, etc. every time. The Hep C virus can be transmitted via injection equipment, even if you don't share needles with other people.

Finally, be aware what the signs of missing a shot are, what the signs of hitting an artery are, what the signs of infection are, and this will go a long way.
 
Please refrain from scolding me. I know what I'm getting myself into. I'd just like to know first time tips!
 
I had been with my boyfriend for 3 years before he deemed I was 'ready' to try heroin for the first time, I'd been bugging him most of the time as he seemed to be able to handle it and I thought the negativity surrounding heroin was just blown out of proporition by the media...

I lost everything,
He lost his life,
You know what you're getting yourself into
 
Use not enough to get a rush. 10 mg, like you mentioned, probably won't give you much of a rush. Quality varies, but that's generally a safe 'not hooked after one shot' dose.
 
I'm sorry if this sounds like judgement or scolding to you. It isn't. I feel that you are making a very unwise decision. To get into the big H after having experienced only cannabis is downright dumb and reckless. I find it hard to imagine anything good coming out of rolling the dice with heroin after not at least dabbling in and experimenting with less addictive substances to judge your strength of will and ability to use with moderation. Just my two cents.

That being said, if you do go through with it, please just sniff it. You won't be bereft of some intense euphoria, and you'll be better off in the long run.

Then again, best to just not do it. Your body, mind, and soul. Your choice.

Also this^.

Asking the general public is bound to result in negative but more importantly uninformed advice.

Myself and others on this board have been where you are right now (maybe without the giant leap in drug intensity) and it'd be inhumane if we didn't see ourselves and former situations in yours and not voice our opinions in the same way we'd beg our former selves not do have taken that first hit if it was possible to do so.

If you don't like the accompanying discouragments which are attached to your heroin-virginity advice that's being handed out then I say tough!

How long has your boyfriend been doing heroin for? I'm guessing his lack of input on this to you has made you sought out information here?

Here is how I see it. I'm going to do it, whether one person or 20 people tell me otherwise. I've set my mind to it. Now don't you think it wise to tell me what you know about dosage, rather than I just do however much and something bad happen? I have said it multiple times, but trust me I do know what could happen, I have been looking into it for quite some time. My boyfriend has been doing it since about 2003. He hasn't given me full details, but he assures me he won't let me take too much, od or die. That doesn't mean I don't want to know specifically what I want to do.

Yes I understand that users and previous users will want to tell me what they experienced, what I'm getting myself into, etc... but it is my decision, I can make my own mistakes. So, please, withing knowing that I am aware of the cons, answer my question, and give me helpful advice for first time, not against!
 
Your doing your self a huge mistake by wanting to IV. Im not gonna scare you off H, i thought id never do it and i got off it by my self after doing a 2 month run with it. Get the idea of shooting it up out your head, especially with tar. Just smoke a little dab and add more if you wish.
