IM'ing pure ketamine crystal...risk factor...

I've never IMed any drug besides my biweekly testosterone shots.

I have confirmed pure ketamine powder, and I would like to IM it, but I can't find a wheel filter...Could I add a dash of sea salt to the mix, and use a gold micron unknown size) coffee filter, to safely do the deed? If need be I will definately wait to get a proper filter, but I'm quite anxious to enjoy a proper K experience.

Suggestions?
 
The problem is not really so much infection than particulate matter. Had you told me you're using medical vials, I'd say go wild - the worse you'd get is a small bruise (assuming you follow sterile procedure).

But with powder, no matter how pure, you always risk particulates (from the air, in the water, on your spoon/receptacle...etc lodging into muscle and forming abscesses.

That said, to be fair, I have seen it done with just a cotton filter and very pure K crystals with no injury, but I personally still refuse to put in my muscle anything that wasn't in a sealed medical vial. Just keep in mind that the risk will always be there.
 
I (and a lot of other people I've known) have injected ket crystal IM (with only a cotton filter) with no adverse results, but that may well be down to pure luck. As Jammy said, always a risk in doing it. In all honesty, the risk doesn't seem to be enormous. If you are the unlucky one, that's not a huge comfort though.
 
I wouldn't do it without a wheel filter, personally -- losing muscle tissue due to an abscess is not worth a k-hole. BTW, the home is not really a decent place to prepare a sterile soln for IM; the air is full of dust, pet dander, germs, allergens, etc. When a soln is prepared for medical purposes its done in a sterile environment supplied with purified air, so its guaranteed safe; that's why I only IM sealed sterile ketamine.
 
I heard nasally is just as efficient, I wouldnt inject unless it came straight from the vial

Hey, how about using a glovebox, a 5 micron filter and sterile water? Glovebox to keep dust away, mix crystals with sterile water and boil to kill any nasties that might be hiding in the crystals, and then filter it...
 
I've IM'ed crystals with success. Was as sterile as I could be. No noticeable injury or the like. Does Subcutaneous injection run the same risk of abscess and such as IM?

Nice pic Dr DOB

XD

no noticeable damage thus far.

I'm in same boat as you, i IM ketamine all the time.. and sometimes IV

I've been lucky so far to have zero complications after months of doing it.

Starting to feel it's not that worth it any more anyways.

Hope i keep continuing to grow out of it.. or just hold it in place as a special treat if i can.

only problem is it means i get nothing done lol.

Wouldn't like to get an abcess either that sounds nasty but i really have had zero problems with IM and same with other people i know who do the same.

So if you use pure crystals and sterile water, you should pretty much be all right?
 
Sometimes i've re-used sharps.. micron filters and danny cups/steri cups when very fucked and ran out of equipment when the clinic is closed.

desperate times.. can't even remember half the fucked up shots i've had.. just so glad there doesn't seem to be any permanent or obvious damage.. it hurts alot when i crouch down on the floor in my thighs but i think that is dissapating.

i fucked up my deltoid once cus i put far too much k/water into it and the second shot i did fucked at a weird angle with a syringe i had to fix cus it wasnt pulling up.. ah desperate times lol.

i've never had access to k in a vial but all the k i have had seems to have been pretty pure from just looking at it.. all i could ever guess someone would get away cutting it with is a little bit of sugar or salt but i'd think that wouldn't harm.. but yeh i've done 100's and 100's of IM this way with no problem so far (that i am aware of anyway) i do get very worried about it though when i think back.

but the only way i ever want to do k if i do it in future is with a sharp to minimise the amount i'm doing and to just try and do it as a treat.

messy stuff lol.

edit: yeh delta_9 it'd be ideal if i could get one sealed vial and just cut out street dealers completely and keep that as a special treat box just for my own usage for peice of mind but i dont know anyone who can get sealed vials or they can just they empty them out.. can't be bothered to be asking about at the mo.. start uni soon.. and it's like 3rd or 4th day of attempting octsober lmao.

Not as efficient and doesn't produce the same sort of effect. I've always done ketamine via the IM route except for the odd time I've tried other routes (oral, nasal, rectal) and IM is by far the best way to do it (& the most economically efficient method other than IV). I remember reading that Jamshyd eventually got to try IM (after years of ketamine use) and was in total agreement that IM is the best; I've never done it IV (believe it or not I have a small needle phobia - can't stand the sight of it enrting flesh, hence no IV), but Jammy has and still thinks IM is the best route

As regards sterility, if you can get an old vial, make up your ket soln and then put it into the vial, which then gets placed in a little boiling water to ensure there are no living organisms to cause problems. If at 100mg/ml soln, the average small vial holds about 5ml, which means ~500mg. Of course if you have a bigger vial (say 20ml) then you can make up a lot more solution, although that way lies the potential for massive overuse as you can just take repeated shots of K without having to move. Using 20ml vials along with access to cheap ketamine meant I went through a period of horrible binging - if you have an addictive type of personality, be very careful...
 
i find if it proper sizzles up on the steri/dani cup then you pretty much feel like it's killed anything that could be in there.

rather than having the temptation of a huge liquid donkey dust stockpile :|
 
how do you know your ketamine is pure unless you have straight ketamine HCl usp quality sealed vials?
 
all i can say is i have always been 100% fine doing crystal K i get from my sources, it's not sealed.. and no you don't feel 100% as good about it as you could do.. i've done a ridiculous amount of IM's with k of this quality and sometimes worse quality.. not proud of it, just all there is sometimes.

I've been 100% fine so far.. will inform if any health complications arise or ever do arise.. but i guess i been lucky so far... good thing i'm cutting down for now lmao.

But yeah it's probably mostly the same sort of quality shambles just described above.

I don't know if it's enough heat when you use a lighter on the steri/dani cup when you get it to dissolve to be the same as boiling but you can sizzle/bubble it up to fuck and that must kill any bacteria in there atleast.. if you are stuck without being able to get a vial? that's how it makes me feel better about doing what i have done anyway aha.

If i'm correct or not i haven't checked lol.. pretty stupid but i kind of dont want to be told it doesn't kill any bacteria because then i'd feel even worse about all the shots i've done or will do without a sealed source.
