Heroin I can't for the life of me hit a damn vein!

I wouldn't inject coke or meth, because other ROA are satisfying enough for those drugs. But having heroin and not IVing ultimately feels like a waste.

For now, I simply want to experience a rush. Just one successful shot. Who knows? Maybe I won't even like it that much. But yeah, it's frustrating not being able to know the feeling due to a stupid lack of technique... Seems so close, but you can reach it.


Hey, two years ago I said those exact things. I was convinced I could simply feel that rush once and return to smoking. Never ever returned to smoking or snorting ANYTHING ever again after my first IV experience carried out by myself.
After you start to IV dope, you will have an extremely difficult timr snorting, plugging, or smoking anything. I'm not joking around.

If I could have one wish for myself, I would wish that I had never touched dope/IV'd dope. There is no such thing as "just once". I ignored all the advice people tried to give me. I was searching for that big RUSH that you hear about in books and movies. Well, I got it. Then I spent two years chasing it and destroying everything and everyone in my path. Don't do this, man.
 
If you can't hit a vein, then I'd stop trying.

I did decide to quit trying for now... I'll let my veins/hands/arms recover from all the poking. I'll probably try again eventually, after I ask for advice, study the procedure more deeply, ideally have someone "teach" me.

That said, I do find IV to be rather gross.
