I got some dope this weekend that seemed really good at first.

however, the shots are not clearing up properly....there are lots of tiny bubbles and even when i push the air out of the syringe i cant get rid of all the tiny bubbles...could it be baking soda or something?

i will stop using any more (or maybe I will snort it) until I figure out what is going on.

thanks

btw...the dope causes pins and needles feeling with a big enough shot (2 bags)
 
holy shit! am i going to be ok? i was shooting it for 2 days straight! now i am really scared....
 
ok well my question is if there is anything i should do right now...(besides being terrified)...i will discontinue that stuff....but beyond that are there symptoms i should watch for etc?
 
A gas embolism? I was under the impression that it would take a whole syringe filled with air to do any real damage to you. OP if your going through a dealer you should call and bitch like a motherfucker tell him to change his cut if your getting middle manned then junky buddy is cutting your shit with no clue what he is doing. I just cant see a proffesional dealer fucking up that bad bud crazier things happpen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_embolism it sounds like you will live.

On further review it sounds like you could be in danger of a stroke but im not an expert so use yuur best judgement. For the record I know alot of junkys and I have never even heard of this happening so I think its pretty rare. How much air did you shoot?

as i said it isnt air bubbles in the usual sense...more like tiny tiny bubbles rising constantly like you would see in champagne or beer


someone recommended that i leave it in the syringe for ahwile....25 minutes (and longer) later the bubbles were still there


they then recommended that i cook it


cooking it got rid of the bubbles



so....big question.....for future use....does it sound like it would be safe if i cook it first?


i actually had my friend ask other people who had this same stuff if they noticed any weird "froth"....none of them did and they all said how great the dope was


odd situation


thanks for any advice and or help...
 
"tiny air bubbles are normal, it happens when I prep shots of buprenorphine."

really? ok that makes me feel better

any idea why they would be showing up in this particular dope? i had some dope earlier this summer that had a bit of tiny bubble syndrome but not as intensely as this stuff.

i will look into micron filtering.

thanks

Yes it would take like 5-10 cc rig to give you an air embolism to the heart, in any event even that mush air would prolly come out in your lungs, depending on the area you shoot into and if you accidently hit an artery or whatever...

Put simply don't worry about the bubbles, at least its fireass shit amirite? Number 1 thing with D right?
