I have a short explanation, and my questions will follow.
My tolerance is up to 120mg at a time. I get Roxy 30's and it takes me around 4 at this point, even though I don't ever take them more than once or (very rarely) twice a week. I have considered shooting them before, because I really don't get sick when I don't take them, most of my addiction is mental. I get bored, and just want to get high.
Anyway, so I know a couple of people who shoot and they tell me that it's better for someone with high tolerance, because you only need half of what you normally would. Which brings me to my first question, is this true? If I normally sniff 120mg, how many mg would I need to inject to get the same effects?
Moving on, I also don't know where to get needles around here. I live in Pasco County, FL, and not even our local health department offers clean needles. I called a pharmacy the other night, and the guy told me that he can only sell them to me if I have a script, which I kind of sensed was total bullshit, and that he ws just being a dick about it.
Now, I know it's irresponsible and I'm not supposed to do it and whatnot, but this is a choice I've been researching and considering from quite some time, but I wanted to get answers from people with experience.
So, in summary, my questions are:
1. Like before, how many mg should I use?
2. Will this effect my tolerance worse than sniffing? I.E. If I shoot this week, and try to snort a week from now, will I need alot more than normal? I understand this is how alot of people get addicted, but like I said, I really don't do them more than once every seven days, mostly because I can't afford it right now.
3. Where can I get clean needles? If anyone is in my state that knows, or can tell me whether it varies by county, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any info. If I wasn't clear on anything, let me know, and I'll fix it.
Mykonos, I feel like I am going through almost the exact same thing as you, except I did take the next step and move to IV. I haven't read everyone's responses to your post, but I think I can offer you some valid advice because I'm on the same level as you.
Pretty much everyone on BL is against IVing pills, but I want to give you a little more info.
I get a script for 240 roxi 30s each month. I usually spend a week taking them and *dispose* of the rest, so my addiction is not a constant 365 addiction. Sometimes I get bored and want some, and when I get my script I binge for a couple days.
When I have 240 pills at my disposel that i paid virtually nothing for, it's easy for me to take a lot. I'll usually take 10-15 in a day for a few days, come down on methadone for a few days, and go a couple weeks with nothing.
However, when I do take them, it's REALLY hard to get high anymore. I always insufflate, but my addiction is mental. I like having them and taking them, but I NEVER get euphoric anymore. Just yesterday, I tried IVing for the first time. I did a dillaudid and it was kind of cool. I got a little rush. But then I did a 15mg roxi, and got nothing. Granted, if I insufflated a 15mg roxi, it would be like chewing a children's tylenol.
So far, I have tried a few more times to IV 30s, just becuase I am searching for that rush. I don't even care if the high doesn't last long, I just want a nice rush. Doing a 30 didn't do shit, and then doing 45mg didn't do shit. It is dangerous, because these pills aren't designed for the IV. And from everything I've read, the bioavailability doesn't increase that much with an IV.
I am not an experienced IV user, so each time I did it, I was scared that I was gonna fuck something up, so I usually double filtered with cotton.
I live a couple counties south of you in west central Florida. I'll try to answer some of your specific questions:
1. You normally insufflate four pills. I usually insufflate two, and then two more 30 minutes later. I can't tell you how many mgs to IV, I can just tell you that 1 1/2 pills didn't do shit for me, and I had to shoot about 150 units (1.5cc's) to get that much powder to dissolve in the water. That's sticking myself twice. After the first cc, there was still so much powder left in the spoon, that I knew I could do another cold water extraction and shoot again. If your tolerance is as high as mine, I don't think switching to an IV is going to make things easier for you. I think you'll still have to inject as much as it takes to insufflate, but I'm no expert, just telling you from my limited experience.
2. Can't answer about the tolerance. Mine is so high that I can't get high no matter how I injest these fucking things. The only thing is that once you start switching to a needle, there's a whole new mental addiction involved with sticking yourself. And if you've never done H before (which I have not), I think it makes it MUCH easier to cross that line, now that you're ok with the needle) [Sorry, I don't mean to judge anyone here, H still has the stigma for me that it had when I was a kid, and it's something I just hope I never get involved with]
3. Finally, the trickiest part. How the hell to get insulin needles? I know how to get the bigger needles that I used to use for steroids; that was no problem. A while ago, a friend of mine and I each tried to do the same thing you did, go to the pharmacies. I even brought in a used box that had rx info and said my grandma sent me to get some. I was never able to find anywhere thay would sell them to me. Yesterday, I found out that my same friend was able to get them from a pharmacy. I think he said he went to Walmart in Pinellas County (don't know which one). What he said he did, was dress real nice like there was no way he was a user. He didn't tell me what story he told them, just that he dressed up and someone sold him a box.
Sorry my response is so long. I've just been experimenting with this over the last two days. I have to admit that I now enjoy the process of mixing and cooking up, and cleaning and injecting. It doesn't get me high, it doesn't give me a rush, and it CERTAINLY DOES NOT require half of the amount that I would normally snort; that is just not true. It does scare me that I enjoy the IV process, though, because I worry that it will lead to a bad path.
Good luck.
