First off I already know about the bateria, cotton fever, and all the bad shit associated with doing this but im gonna do it anyway so please don't preach about it.

what's the best way to get everything out of old cottons? I once read about putting them in a rig and pressing down squirting everything out... but that just clogged my rig. i'm not sure how to go about gettting everything out of them
 
i just put em in a spoon, added water, heated it a little, and sucked it all back up until they were white again. i wasnt expecting much but i got a pretty good rush off 6 old cottons. def gonna save every one now



if there's a better method let me know
 
You can put them in a syringe and then pull up some boiling water and it rinses them out. You get the liquid out of the syringe by holding it over the spoon and pulling out the plunger.
I do the spoon method too though but if they're really good ones you can do them on the spoon then in the rig and still get something out of them.

Obviously this is silly and dangerous but i think we both know that! :)

Don't do cotton shots. That's really risking an infection.

The issue is that the risk is infection is not 100%, while remaining just as dope sick if you don't do it IS 100%. Anyone going through w/d is going to choose to proceed.
 
The only thing left is the insoluables for the most part. Your risk of infection here is pretty high, so why risk it?
 
Ya I would agree that you don't do this. A quick question if he was too run it through a micron filter would it get rid of some of the bacteria and other nasty shit?
 
I have got very severe cotton fever before from trying to "rinse" cottons, but if i am sick i still rinse them. Being sick makes you do shit you normally would not do if you were feeling well that's for damn sure!
 
Just swallow the solution of the filtered cottons or either spray it up your nose to avoid a boatload of health problems from IV'ing old cottons.
 
^ exactly. Of course an addict is not going to throw away their cottons (even though any perceived effect will likely be placebo), but there's no need to IV it.
I've never done this, but my understanding is that once you get cotton fever from doing this, you think twice before using cottons the next time

he wouldn't be using cottons if he had micron filters

Being dopesick isn't going to kill you, whereas injecting bacteria in your bloodstream can kill you. Not will, but can.

If you don't want to be dopesick, go buy more dope. There's likely not that much dope in the cottons to begin with.

Plus, people sometimes get cotton fever from doing cotton shots. Is that any better than being straight up dope sick?
 
ok guess no one read the first sentence? this is why i made this thread. the other one was filled with people saying shit about bacteria and cotton fever. i know this already. no need to remind me i got pretty high off my cottons yesterday so i'll probably continue to do it

........ i had the same problem when i asked about smoking pills. i say i know its bad, but then people feel the need to tell me its bad.
 
I know I'm just a greenlighter, so my opinion might not count for much, but I lurk these forums quite a bit and I see this sort of thing happen in A LOT of threads. If someone's going to do something that's been established as detrimental to their health they get chewed out, which is somewhat understandable as this is a harm reduction site, but this guy said he was going to do it despite the risks and he just wanted to know the best way to do it. Now he knew, and we all knew, that he was still going to do it even if we said cotton fever a million times, so wouldn't it be more so in the interest of harm reduction to give him suggestions on how to clean out old cottons in the least harmful way rather than just say the same risks over and over that he acknowledged understanding in his post?

Once again, I'm kind of an outsider looking in, so this is just way I've noticed things happening and why I disagree with the way things are happening.

But I can't suggest how to safely get a cotton shot, other than don't do this unless they have been stored AIR TIGHT in a sterile container. (i.e. if you leave them in a pile next to the bathroom sink, just chilling on the counter not being contained in anything, don't shoot it).

Even then, there's no 100% guarantee it's even remotely safe to begin with.

I know what it's like to be in withdrawal. But I wouldn't do something that would possibly compromise my physical health just to "feel better" for a short while. It's not worth it.

Honestly, I'm not too concerned with what people do to themselves, I just like to make sure people hear my disclaimer as to why thy shouldn't do certain things.

A lot of people don't know as to why you shouldn't do things, like use lemon juice to dissolve crack for IV.

The few times i've done this it was foolish and yes it worked, but very foolish. I used about 15+ used cottons from Dilaudid but to try to be safe as possible and avoid bacteria i ran the final solution through a tiny .20um micron filter which is small enough to remove bacteria. The hit was actualy strong which im guessing was from the amount of cottons i used and the fact I always leave them a little saturated, but it tastes nasty. It just gives you this disgusting taste that hits your mouth and lets you know there was something nasty in there still you shouldn't be shooting. I can't even describe the taste.

Second time in desperation I tried this. I got cotton fever. Shaking uncontrollably and having a high fever for hours on end and still being in pain/dope sick is horrible and why I will never repeat shooting cottons again. The second the cottons done i toss it in the toilet. Run the remaining solution through a micron filter and shoot. Cottons are not to be saved.
