So I'm kinda new to IV'ing meth and a friend told me i don't want to use that much water, just enough to dissolve the meth, like less than 50 units. But with pills such as roxi and dilaudid, i was told you want to use as much water as possible even if you're only IV'ing just one pill.

Just wondering i these statements are correct and if they aren't could you tell me the proper amount of water needed for both substances.

Thanks
 
You basically want to use as little water as possible for both. Pills have a lot of binders and insoluble compounds and the more water you use the more of that junk will get into your blood stream. Basically grind it into a fine powder, mix into a little bit of cold water (not all of it will dissolve), filter with a micron filter, and then you will have a relatively clean clear solution.
 
Pills and street cut drugs both contain binders, fillers, and other non-active ingredients which if injected will collect in your bloodstream (notably the capilliaries in your lungs) and are not good for you. The active ingredient that you are injecting is soluble and will dissolve in a small amount of water. Many of the inactives are insoluble and not a lot will dissolve in small amount of water, but the more water you use the more will dissolve. Check out the following threads which can all be found in the OD Directory.

Agree with amapola

I am new and hope this is not illegal....
If I am injecting something I try to use the least amount of liquid possible because my hand is not 100% stable and the less stuff to push the lower chance you will blow and/or accidentally push through the vein.

Illegal? Well we don't have laws here, just rules.

Please read the rules to become more familiar with them, they are in my signature so there's no excuse as to not being able to find them. ;) =D

Anyways, as for how much water to use, I would use the least amount possible.

The problem with not micron filtering is that any water will still absorb enough inactive ingredients to make this a dangerous process.

If you only need a certain amount of units to get the oxycodone to dissolve, you should use that. If this isn't enough to get all the oxycodone because the inactives are absorbing the water, you can use more water.

Using too much water is bad because it absorbs more inactive ingredients than necessary.

Along with the above links you want to look at this one as well:
