Heroin girls vein issues.

I have had similar issues, and as I have decimated most of the "good " veins in y body it's only gotten harder. Try soaking in a hot tub right before, it dilated the veins and makes them more visible and easier to hit. If you don't want to get completely in the tub then just run your hands,arms,feet or whatever area you're shooting in under some hot water. It always works for me.
 
I don't know man. for me, spending $5 for 60 shots of water = $.03/ shot = me feeling like I'm not going to be accumulating heavy metals, calcium, rust, flourine, chlorine, etc in my circulatory system.

I will do a shot without it, if it is for right there, right now, but if you prep in advance, it is totally necessary, and I prefer to be drawing water out of a sterile ampule, if not a bacteriostatic one, if I am just prepping a shot for right then and there.

A+ Post. I couldn't agree more; bacteriostatic NaCl is by far worth it when you're going to be injecting drugs. :)

Not to mention tap water can contain protozoa, such as Giardia. :\
 
well aside from all the wayy off topic posts, thanks for the replies.

ive noticed if i have a drink it thins my blood out just a bit and its a lot easier to hit. otherwise i have to run up and down my stairs a couple times to get the circulation going. hell of a workout plan eh? lol

i dont tie off i just squeeze my wrist and my bf can get me with a short 31 gauge in my hands as long as its new. we recently started going to the pharmacy to get new needles. i go in hes too scared too. its a lot easier to hit with new needles. i guess i should say a big DUH to that. :P

i just hate getting my hands, i dont want my hands to get all gross looking.
 
There were a few months where I was homeless and would spend my money on rigs rather than food in a heartbeat. But part of that was because being an 18 year old, 100lb girl I could get almost anyone to buy me food without a thought. I would NEVER spend money on sterile water, I would boil it in my spoon before I cooked my dope with it but that was about it. And that was rather pointless because I would pick a cigarette butt up off the ground so I could use the filter as a cotton
