So i am a female and i don't work out as much, not very athletic. So i'm having a hard time popping my veins out because my skin is filled with fat i guess, i am not overweight or chubby. In fact i am underweight. So i don't know why it is not popping out, i tried a cloth and i tried squeezing my arm but i am having a hard time trying to shoot. What do you guys recommend?
 
How long have you been IVing? Not long I'm assuming..

Drink lots and lots of fluid, that will cause them to distend or "pop out" more. Take a warm bath or shower or wrap a warm washcloth or towel around whatever appendage you are trying to use. If you are underweight then I'm not sure why you figure it is "filled with fat"..kinda strange. Most likely you are not hydrated enough. Do you usually have trouble finding a vein?

Snorting or plugging the heroin...

Yep...that is actually a much better idea.

I said this because I too have the same premonition that the op sounds like a beginner.

So, in turn I suggested viable efficient ways of consuming the product without as much bodily harm..

Agreed 100%. We sharing a brain tonight Jay? :)

OP..this absolutely true..if you don't already IV (and like Jay said I really feel you probably don't) then why start? That's a hard road to come back down from the majority of the time. Plus it is so much safer other ROA. Another huge issue is by IVing you are going to increase your tolerance very quickly. Be very careful.

*edit* also, if you are doing this for the first time do you have someone there with you that is aware of what you are doing to watch over and call 911 if you OD? Its pretty important that you have someone around.

Damn girl...I was just looking at your other post...it sounds like you haven't really done any drugs before...you have been asking advice about smoking weed, taking benzos and shooting heroin, allin one week, and have never done any of those before?? What is up? I don't want to sound judgemental or condescending, but hold up. Seriously...IVing heroin is a horrible idea. If you absolutely must try it you definitely should go a different route. This is so so dangerous and this is most definitely not a path you want to go down. Why in the world all the drugs all of a sudden? Do you mind me asking how old you are? And seriously, are you by yourself? Have you ever done an injection of any kind? I am so very concerned for you. Please let me know...

*edit* there is nothing cool or glamorous about being a heroin addict. IVing it the least forgiving way to go in terms of dying of an OD and very quickly becoming hooked or raising your tolerance. Nobody plans to become addicted but it happens so easy, you couldn't even imagine. And trust me when you start having to do it everyday to keep from becoming more sick than you could even imagine it quits being "fun". Withdrawals are hell, something that if you have never experienced one couldn't even explain to you. And eventually the heroin does run out..either because of lack of money or just can't get it. It rules your life when you are addicted. Please come back and talk before you make the decision you might forever regret.

I have to agree with others, if you can put down the needle, please do. Even better put down the H! This is of course for HR purposes, not like I can put it down!

Anyway, can you feel the veins at all or are they totally buried? The best spot would probably be the crook of the elbow if you are a beginner with fresh veins. Is there a friend or significant other that may be able to help you? As far as getting veins to show there are several tricks; hot shower, working out, pushups, lots and lots of fluids, etc.
I tend to find that swinging arms in a circular motion around you will push the blood to your extremities, and after doing so just tie off right above the elbow on the bicep side.Give it a second or two to "pop out" and hopefully it will. I have a great vein in that spot and doing that method will practically make it look like it is going to burst out of the skin.

Let me just reiterate, this post is intended for HR purposes and it is my recommendation that you cast IV to the wayside.. I only want to offer some helpful info as I generally find folks will do what they please, and it is best just to at least do it properly! Good luck!
 
I am a female, 110lbs, and also have a hard time finding a vein sometimes. What I do is get a hot bath, lay in there about 25 min, then shoot. But as the others have told you, its not a good idea, its very hard to stop IVing once you start. I have been shooting for over a year and am having such a hard time quitting.
 
I think that if she has NO experience with drugs and in one week she is asking advice on how to do weed, benzos and IV heroin then finding a vein is going to be the least of her worries, specifically in regards to injecting and also just in general.

Of the 3 you have been asking about just stick with the weed dear. It won't cause you any (physical) harm. Of course we haven't heard back from her so she either changed her mind (hopefully) or it went really bad.
 
Water hydrate yourself. Or get some upper and try a little prior to using black. Women have thinner veins and are hard to hit on average. Try hands feet or behind the knee
