How many of you Inject?

[Lingering Grin]

Nope, I don't inject, and I never will...


There was one point where my friends ALMOST convinced me to do an IM shot of Ketamine... but plans fell through and we could never get our hands on it.

I hadn't made up my mind wether I was gonna do it or not at the time... now though, I know that I wouldn't do it if it came up again.

I don't inject and don't want to... I have done it once before in the past to see what the rush was like but I will never do it again. I have a needle phobia I had to get somebody else to do it for who knew what they were doing.

 

[nickeldick]

falling in love with the needle is an addiction in itself from what i have seen. definitely not something i ever thought i would make a part of my daily regimen but i am trying to step away from that scene for now... hard times

The veins of the feet are tricky. I dont know any people that like using them IRL, Im not sure what ppl on the boards feel about using feet. IMO The arm is definitely preferable.

Shoot into the crook of your elbow and use a brand new needle 31-27 gauge and hit the vein on your first attempt, the mark on your arm will be virtually non existent. As someone said before the needles they use for taking blood are much bigger.

I did try using my arm, I went a lil higher then the crook of my arm though, towards my bicep.. I dont know if I missed or not, although I did register, but I got a black and blue the size of a baseball on my arm, it was HUGEEEE.. And purple.. I dont know hwy that happened, also I have a problem trying to register with one hand.. Im scared to take the risk of bruising liek that again, i told everyone it was from a paintball gun.. I use 29 g. needles. half inch..

Needles scare me, plus it's too dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I might consider it if I had a nurse doing it for me or something. Haha.

I've had IV morphine, valium, and fentanyl for medical purposes and I've never understood what the lure of IV drug use is. They all kicked in around about 5-8 seconds, but there wasn't any rush so to speak, I just got pretty intoxicated and that was it, same feeling I get from oral just really quick. If I want to get really high quick on opiates I used to just use them rectal, I would usually be pretty messed up in a minute or two.

I guess it might also help to explain that I don't like opiates much anyway, many of them make me feel depressed. Weird biology I have I guess. The things they were mostly good for was if I was sick or in pain, or if I needed to relax after something stimulating.

In a word... yes. Just shot up 40mg oxycodone and ~12mg hydromorphone in one go just an hour or so ago... straight fuckin' sex in a syringe, man. I used to be a bit jumpy about the thought of digging around in my arm for a vein, pulling back on the plunger just to see deep crimson flood into the clear liquid, and then slamming that shit home.. but now, well.. suffice to say, it's something of the opposite these days. :D

First drug I rigged up was oxycodone, a 20mg brand namer if I recall correctly (and I do... something of a memorable moment in my drug career). Something that always bothered me about railing shit was how it took about 15-20 minutes to get that 'aaaaaaahhhhhhhh...' feeling that I'm looking for when I do opiates. See, the opiate that I got started on was heroin, and I absolutely loooooved smoking that shit, wouldn't do it any other way. It was the 'hit' and instant gratification that I enjoyed about chasing it on foil, and you just didn't get that with railing it. So, when buddy was popped and H disappeared out the city, I was left with nothing but OCs, dillys, morphine.. all unsmokable in pill form. Well, I wasn't quite ready to take the IV leap at that point, so I got by railing/eating those suckers for a loooong time.

Anyway, one day after my friend had left some clean rigs and alcohol swabs at my buddy's trailer (still have no idea to this day why he did that.. he had 'em for steroids, but he knew we didn't like our balls shrinking, so I guess he was trying to sway us to the dark side or something?!), and we each only had an OC20 to our name (and no one we knew had anything else for sale), so... well.. we each had moderate tolerances at the time, and knew that 20mg up the nose or down the gullet wouldn't do shit aside from make us well. One glance between us, and a promise by me to be the one to shoot my buddy up (he was, and still is, terrified of needles), and that was that.

While these days I do, on occasion, choose to rail my pills (sometimes I even.. gasp.. eat them! In the case of MScontin, anyway), IVing has by far replaced all other routes of administration as my favourite.. until the day they invent an easy way to freebase painkillers, heheh. And you know what? It makes me feel like a REAL MAN!!!!

Hahah, that last bit was a joke. But yes, I do inject on a regular basis, and I'm sure as shit not ashamed of it - hell, amongst fellow drug users I see no need to hide my method of choice (it's somewhat taboo to be recognized as an opiate user in this city's circle of drug users... let alone a needle user.. well FUCK THAT, I say. No shame here.) If someone has a problem with how I choose to get off, they can go fuck themselves and go munch more E, fucking retarded ravers. :D

 

[alicat72]

no no no no no

no foot veins!!!! a friend of mine once tried it and screamed and screamed and screamed from the pain....maybe it was all wrong- like on a nerve or something, but i would never try it after seeing him go thru that...

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Not yet; I don't have access to needles. Hopefully that will change soon.

 

[alicat72]

geez

How did the doctor treat you? Once I'd shot in my foot and it got really sore and swollen and finally I had to go to the doctor. I told myself I'd just be honest with him even though I was afraid. Well.... He actually REFUSED TO TREAT ME and told me I needed to get down on my knees and pray to his god. He gave me a religious pamphlet and left the room. Another doctor in the office treated me and said that I could've lost my foot if I had not come in. It was the most humiliating experience of my entire life. Of course I was also furious. Hell, I'm still furious thinking about it.

the hypocratic oath prevents any doctor from treating you this way. your story infuriates me. i often get the "drug seeking" treatment from doctors because i have chronic pain and i have researched the hypocratic oath extensively.....what you have described goes against all humanitarian belief....what a jerk.

 

[AAmom]

If I had pharmacy grade I would. I don't know how to prep a pill for injection.

OC's can be smoked the same way as H could be.. Only the brand name though.. You take off the outter green layer (if its an 80) and chase the dragon, same as you would if it were H...It works great, I did it for over a year..

 

[chrisinabox]

i inject heroin and i would inject other pharmaceutical opiates but for some reason i wont shoot cocaine or methamphetamine ever.

dude, do some fucking reading

 

[diche]

insulin syringes my friends, microfine, they dont even leave a mark. i can use the same spot all night and leave little scar tissue to deal with later

i inject pentazocine (awsome rush) morphine, and maybee coke, never liked it but im open to new things

 

[ayoOC80]

nope, now i also don't really have any friends that do. if it was around, i might try it, but knowing how much i'd like it scares me.

 

[DoOrDie]

dude, do some fucking reading

What do I need to read? A pamphlet on how to smoke OC? You go find me one, untill then I'll continue to do it the way I have for years.. Or should I make a nice crafty video of me smoking an OC like you do shooting up, real smart.. And he said "until theres a way to freebase painkillers" which I commented on cause you can free base Oxycontin the same way one would freebase H...

"Best places to IV ive heard are the arms, how do you IV there and not get marked up? I know I cant afford having someone see A mark on my arm let alone marks.."

Cold compress after is helpful to prevent brusing.

For me, the only thing that was actually a lil worthwhile, Tramadol ampules, less that 2 dozen times I think. Bad nasty deal though, I wish I was afraid of needles cause it could be big trouble real quick.

 

[saveyour]

no, i do not inject.

cocoa butter or moisturizing lotion of some sort, they clear tracks in days
