Injecting and Veins Questions

[abefourth]

1. Does anyone else here have good veins? Bad veins?
2. Which drugs have you injected/had injected recreationally? Prescriptionally?
3. Does anyone have problems with injecting themselves so they ask/have to ask others to help them with it?
4. What color are most of your veins?
5. Which veins have you injected/had injected into?

I think I have relatively good veins. I've never injected myself but have gotten Solu-Medrol injected while having a reaction to a medication; it got "slammed" due to the urgency of the situation, and it burned like hell. My veins are mostly greenish. I've only ever had injections in my arm and hand veins, but incidentally I did sever my jugular vein once.

Mine are fine, hydrating helps them pop. I've injected Wellbutrin, cocaine, meth, heroin, fentanyl, and then painkillers for injury's and also things to put me under for surgery. I've gotten help and given help. My veins, I don't really see them but on my wrist they are blue. I've gone backside of elbow most often, forearm and bicep.

Curious why you ask?

It's interesting about the vein color, I've never considered the color. What do you know about the color @abefourth ?

1. Not sure
2. Have had injected various vaccines (don't rember all of them). Cure for syphilis (2 cures got it on two different occasions). Recreationally 3-MMC thrice or maybe four times. Meth twice.
3. Never tried it myself
4. Blue
5. The best visible one or ones on my lower arm

I know pretty much nothing about the color (as with everything). It just interests me (from an aesthetic point of view). Thanks for asking. I think I'm going to go down the rabbit hole of learning about vein color now. It's just interesting how there are multiple colors of veins depending on the person. Now that I think about it (and read about it) vein color and skin tone have interesting relationships. I'm also interested in makeup, but until now I really didn't make the question in my interest. Glad you asked so I can research some more. There's a lot of cool information/research out there and I want to do it now.

I just asked the questions (made the post) because I haven't seen anything like it on bluelight. I'm a really inquisitive person. I know it might be arbitrary and annoying but I like to know these things. I don't want to flood "new content" but (on bluelight) I'm interested in almost everything having to do with drugs. I like Quora for this reason. I hope at some point bluelight will have mega-threads for as many drugs, prescription or recreational, as possible. The drug categories for the forum are cool so that there's not just a jumble of posts about every drug under one category.

But so many times people don't go into detail about their experiences in particular areas. They give a one or two paragraph answer. On reddit it gets kind of absurd. People will ask "should I take this job" after giving 3 minor tidbits about the job itself. Stuff like that where the details are miniscule and ineffective (both in questions and the answers). It's reddit, not X for god's sake. There's a 30,000+ character limit. Sometimes brevity is best but TDLR frustrates me many times when it's uneccesary. It takes 30 seconds to read the entire post/comment but oh woe is me! I can't handle that!

1. Nurses tell me I have good veins. But my veins don't seem great to me. Maybe fair to good at best.
2. Heroin, fentanyl, Dilaudid, oxycodone, cocaine, methamphetamine, diazepam (from ampules), Ativan, MDMA
3. I have never had to ask for help. But then, I haven't injected in years and don't plan to start again. Others have had me shoot them up plenty of times.
4. Blue, like they should be?
5. All of the easily accessible ones on my arms, legs, hands, and feet. Also some less accessible ones!

Posting in this thread has made me realize I really don't miss shooting up. For a while it was fun but then, once you get to the point of spending half your day sick while you hunt for a vein, it becomes an obnoxious and dangerous burden. And it gets even worse if you develop an infection, get an abscess, hit an artery, or have any of the other shitty but probable risks attendant to injecting manifest.

5. I began my IV career in the crook of my left arm (where lower arm meets upper arm). When that became hard to use I started looking for other arm zones that would work. I didn't have access to internet or Bluelight or anything in the early 2000s, so I just kept shooting into veins all over left arm and hand. Next I focused on the right arm, then back and forth from arm to arm, each time finding an even more od vein to hit.

1. I fucked up my veins enough to make my hands freezing cold all year! Summer freezing. Winter...freezing. I live a gloved life. Guess I'll not be leaving fingerprints anywhere lol

4. My veins appear a blueish green. Never thought about the color of veins! Thanks, Cfzrx

3. I was never the guy who needed help injecting. I have rather ghastly memories though, of desperate junkies begging me to inject them. One time it was an Ethiopian fellow in Seattle. I tried hitting his veins with no success as he watched the needle with a haunted fixation. Sweat beads began to pour down his face. I recall thinking "I hope this guy doesn't stab me with the needle."

2. I have injected a lot of tar heroin, a shit-ton of MSContin pills, a good deal of dilaudid pills, a 20-sack of crystal meth (that's it. Did it once, and seriously underestimated the amount I had loaded in the cooker. I was shooting the crystal in a cafe in Capitol Hill. I slammed the big shot and as my heart began exploding out of my chest I vacated the cafe with my head in the clouds. I was so high I went straight to an ex gf, convinced her to have me spend the night, then crashed like a mofo and just layed in bed staring at the ceiling until 3am. Then I said sorry, left, and that was it. No more gf. Thus began the Winter of my Suffering. I lived in the basement of a friend's house who was gone in Central America. The heater wasnt working so I sat by the oven at times.. Oh yeah, and of course I have injected some fire-ass cocaine that a dealer sold me hoping I would stayin town when I announced that winter that I was headed for California to kick drugs and reinvent myself.
The coke was great, a big rock, but still I got on the Greyhound at 7am after a night of shooting cocaine (1gram) and left town and everyone and everything I had in this world.

I will tell you guys the rest of the story one day. I still remember the taste of the coke as it filled my veins and made my ears ring like crazy.
