Heroin addicts who use the needle: Does anyone ACTUALLY "skin pop" their dope?

Good lord hell fucking no!

If I so much as miss a tiny drop, which is very fucking rare, but happens, my shit SWELLS like a bitch! I can't imagine pumping a full CC of that shit under my skin... ugh the pain! and itching!

Good luck with that. Wish I'd thought of it - would have saved me a lot of trouble :).

Yeah but that's what BL is here for. Newer junkies can learn to take better care. I know my shit is straight because of what I learned here and elsewhere. I got almost no tracks and I've been shootin for years a couple times a day. If not for older heads with advice and medical types with knowledge I doubt my generation of junkies would get very far.

Not that they'll get far at all, but at least they can learn to rotate their shit so as not to blow out veins.

^ Well sure. If you're (for example) 80 years old and have a terminal illness, or something like that, why the hell not? Nothing to lose at that point, may as well bust out the Brompton's cocktail and have a party. =D

One of my counselors in rehab was a recovered heroin addict with 12 years clean, and he even told us (his patients) that if he was ever diagnosed with a terminal illness that would eventually leave him confined to a hospital bed, then he plans to just go out on one last dope/coke binge and be done with it all.

Most people were pretty shocked but to be honest, I found it funny because I'd probably do the same.

it does
i dont have H addicting
i like the high
but im not addicted
its like candy
i like the taste
but i dont need it
but H is really good candy!
:D
like tootsie rolls or something

I was just wandering through the cannabis thread and noticed that you are 14 8o. This is probably why you are not addicted - it's hard to fund a H habit on the average 14 year old's pocket money. Keep playing with smack and you will swiftly learn that it bites back. Tread very carefully with opiates, my young friend - they are not toys. Your life and all that, but I would strongly advise that you quit whilst you're ahead on this one. You will not win.

PS - I like the taste too actually - most people hate it :).

people skinpop smack yes I believe it is what addicts do who are heavy tolerance and are trying to maintain their habit.

Again, I think you're confusing skinpopping for IMing. Most addicts end up IMing to maintain a habit. Skinpopping is highly inefficient and trying to maintain a habit with it would be impossible.

I hate to be nit-picky, but "a tiny drop" is pretty much the same thing as a "full CC." Most syringes are either 50 - 100cc's. 1cc = 1ml.

50 - 100 units. a cc is not the same as a unit. most insulin syringes are 1cc the newer, little ones are 1/2cc
 
dammit, thats what I meant, sorry. 50 - 100 UNITS.

100units = 1cc = 1mL

I cant believe I got that confused. Its from having to correct people all the time when they say "100cc's" instead of "100 units." Now Im starting to do it.
 
Holy god please no!

OMG NO!!!!
hamonz is only 14?!?!?!?
Please hamonz, tell us you are just joking around about the H.
No way kid that you are mature enough to handle smack...not to be talking down to you friend. But I agree strongly with shambles. You will lose that one.
That H is a demon that youth and zeal has no power over. Please stop young man wilst you still have your soul.:! :(
 
^ Thanks, i8hooked. I was starting to think that I was the only person around here who was a little concerned about somebody who claims to be 14 years old and taking heroin.

I suspect a certain degree of youthful aggrandizement is going on here, but if not then it is a treacherous path to tread - perhaps even more so at such a young age. Frankly, the very thought sends shivers down my spine.
 
Youre not the only ones. That really worries me too. 14 is way too young to be walking with the heroin devil. She's an evil one and easily takes over your life.

Be careful, hamonz. Its easier than you think to get addicted. None of us heroin addicts planned on it, and most of us didnt even realize it happened till we were well in to it.
 
^^soo true. At that age you wouldn't even realize what you're doing to your body, and by 18 or 20 you'll be wishing you hadent fucked around with the Boy. I really hope hes just embellishing mostly, and that he really hasen't messed around with it yet, such a slippery slope.
 
i was a heavy user for many years. at first i always mainlined - but then wore out all my veins and had to resort to injecting into muscles. be very careful if you either skin-pop (i have not tried this) or inject into muscles. make sure you do not use the same injection area over and over. also massage, the area throughly. if you are not careful when you inject into muscles you can either tear up the area, or too much stuff will sit around (not massaging) and either way you can end up with abcesses. i don't know about skin popping - it seems like this would act the same way as when you miss when you are main-lining. but i know that muscle injections work pretty quick because there are a lot of veins in muscles.
djh
 
to all the people buggin about hamonz usin at that age, When i was about 12 i decided i was gonna use heroin, never got around to it(found it) til i was just 16 but i was usin oxy n all that shit when i was 14, jus to put it out there....14 dont seem that young to me but then again I known people who were dope addicts turning tricks to get bags when they were 13, so maybe my view on that is a lil fucked up ....i did alot of drugs and fucked up things at a young age.....not sayin its a good thing , jus that its a fact...sometimes im amazed by how old some people here were when they tried drugs....It seems crazy to me that anyone could wait that long...

not a very harm reduction style life that I lived there I kno...just sayin....i guess everyones views on whats too young is different...all i know is good luck hamonz soon you can also be shitting your pants while you throw up and pray to god to take you now so you dont have to go thru the sickness ever again, and then pass out til you stop breathing when you finally get your fix and do a super big shot to celebrate and almost OD on it....yea...its a walk in the park...:|
