This right above, doesn't jive with......It's just a stupid stigma for the most part and a irrational fear.........
All the same IV drug use did fuck me up good and proper for abit. So i certainly wouldnt advise anyone to start injecting if they havent already done so.
Anyone with a distaste or fear of injecting drugs to get high has a well-founded and rational fear, with PLENTY of evidence that it's very likely to lead to complete disaster.
how can you call needle the safest? how many times have people OD'd with a needle and how many times have they OD'd snorting?/QUOTE]
If you do 1gram of of ketamine sniffing it, you would only need to to use 55-60mg'ss for a same/stronger high coz of the rush... plenty people OD on sniffing, "oh another line won't do any more after this last line" BS.... thats why i refered to using IV correctly...
IE. over here you get "steribox" 2 clean needles, 2 vials of clean water, 2 spoon like things, 2 filters... and a condomm (you never know)
when in fact, this ROA... if done properly (clean stuff.. micron filters etc....) is the safest ROA there is...
I have never even come close to a OD while IVing dilaudid or morphine. Hell i even shot clonidine with morphine more then a few times and for fuck sakes do not attempt such stupidity!
The only times ive come close to OD is with fentanyl eaten and oral morphine. But both cases where pure recklessness and i was kinda suicidal at the time.
There's evidence that other ROA's can lead to just as much disaster... it all depends on the user, and how much effort they exert in the name of harm reduction.
Not to be a dick in the least bit, but I'm kinda surprised they let you be moderator spewing out a comment like that.
There's HUGE differences between needle and other ROAs.
Let's see... exponentially higher risk of overdose, because if you're sniffing or even smoking, you can do it slowly bit by bit and pace yourself by gauging how much you're feeling. Heroin can actually be not only safer but to some extent more enjoyable as well, if you have no tolerance to worry about. It's definitely nicer to get a mild relaxing subtle heroin high, instead of getting so fucked that you're puking constantly. The puking and nausea actually tends to turn a lot of people who try heroin for the first time away from it, since it's a drug with a subtle high and isn't a slap in the face (minus the rush part).
Also, you can acquire all sorts of nasty bacterial infections, and permanent viral infections if you're sharing rigs. You can get nasty abscesses, and even endocarditis (heart valve infection) and this happens without sharing or anything.
