First of all, my mind is set on this, so I would appreciate it if you didn't try to talk me out of this. My life is in a terrible place at the moment and if I don't find some kind of euphoria I'm probably going to end up offing myself.

I'm a regular user of heroin but so far have only chased the dragon. I can easily go through two bags in a night, and if I have the money can go through four over the course of a day. I can smoke a bag in half an hour easily, but my technique probably isn't the best. One bag still gets me a decent high, however. I'm planning on trying shooting up for the first time tomorrow and was wondering if putting in a whole bag (.1) would risk overdosing or not. It will be the same batch I have been smoking recently so purity won't be an issue, just wondering if the potency is such that shooting up .1 would be dangerous compared to smoking it.

Secondly, I live in the UK and so get #3 heroin, was wondering on what the technique is for cooking it up. I will be acquiring citric acid, alcohol swabs etc but am clueless as to how to prepare it.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

The euphoria you find will be paid back in pain 10 times.

Have a partner with you when you inject just in case you underestimated the strength.

Getting a syringe filter (wheel syringe filter) would be the safest.

But barring access to that (can get on ebay, maybe some needle exchanges, dunno in the UK)

You want a clean 1ml syringe, a piece of cotton, the citric acid (as #3 is freebase heroin, right - then you need the citric acid (C6H8O7) a carboxylic acid! Easy enough to find though. I'm sure acetic acid (pure white vinegar might work as well)

If you were smoking .1g - a point, IVing could be dangerous.

As I said have a friend with you during your IV use, and ALWAYS HAVE FRESH NEEDLES (PINS).

Try it once, but please don't continue down the route. I wish and many others here wish they hadn't.

It's too fucking good, and as I said euphoria/not caring/at peace with opioids is paid back 10 times over or more in pain and suffering. Remember this last line second, and the safety info the most.

HAVE SOMEONE THERE WITH YOU! I can't stress this enough to make sure you don't fall out and die of respiratory collapse. If you can get access to insufflatable narcan/naloxone or a vial of naltrexone/narcan all the better for your babysitter to have.

Thanks very much for your help. A sitter is a fantastic idea that I hadn't considered, so I'll call a friend over to chill with me while I dose. I'm planning on doing this tomorrow so probably won't be able to acquire a wheel filter in that time but I will try nonetheless. Like I said though I'm totally clueless about the procedure, once I've acquired all of that what do I actually do to cook it up and inject safely?
 
Hah just looked at amazon->Uk, shipping would be 10 bucks no tax 63 total, but you can probably find just a 3 pack there for 8 dollars, just get the .02um and you'll be safe as most virus' are not that small and therefore can't fit through the filter, like HEP C (dunno about AIDs) have to look.

Their size .02 micrometers are really "0.00002 MM 2 hundred thousandths of a mm.

In general, viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Most viruses that have been studied have a diameter between 20 and 300 nanometres. Some filoviruses have a total length of up to 1400 nm; their diameters are only about 80 nm.

This means if you use a .02 um (micrometer - millionth of a meter, or is it billionth, I think it's the latter) filter, than you will filter all the assorted bacterium and viruses if you use the syringe filters correctly.

Safest way to go about IV.

Had I done it I would have avoided 2 major abscesses, one (the first almost going sceptic) the second time around from IV made me say "I'm through with parenteral anything!"


IV is dangerous - Do it with a friend you can trust, to watch you will you register and push. I cannot stress this enough, if you fall out and no ones there and you estimated incorrectly, you're dead.

With a wheel filter, (#3 freebase without salting it won't dissolve in water, you make the freebase a salt by adding a weak enough acid) you dissolve it all after making it a salt with an acid (Citric or acetic acid - vinegar, but I don't really know if the latter is strong enough to make it a acetate, but the citric acid is enough to make it a citrate salt and dissolvable in water.

Then if you filter whether a wheel/syringe filter , if you can't obtain that somewhere the next best is a a cotton from a cotton ball, or part of a clean cigarette filter, you then suck it up (the dissolved, acidified solution) through the filter. You tie off, and then you make sure you get the needle (hopefully 28-30g needles, 1ml or .5ml syringe) into the vein (NOT ARTERY - major damage can happen, look at where your major arteries are - most start in the crook of your arm) Then once it's in you pull back until you see blood mixed with the dope which mean you registered on a vein, then you remove the tie off (which let you see the veins) and you inject, with SOMEONE WATCHING AND BABYSITTING TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FALL OVER AND DIE.

Start slow, and don't continue your IV H quest and you'll be fine!

Stop playing the victim. There is NO good reason to do heroin. In addition, you will become addicted much much faster if u use heroin to cover up your pain.

If you think your life is bad now, wait until you get strung out, become homeless, go to jail , have your family and friends not want to speak to you. Whatever is going on now is probably not as bad as the consequences that come with IV heroin use. I'd really think about your actions and your future . Not to forget to mention the fact that you are playing Russian roulette every time you inject what your dealers call heroin. The brown or white boi could be anything, you have no clue what you are putting in your body.

I know it seems like a difficult situation for you right now , but part of being an adult is taking responsibility for your actions. Playing the victim is such an addict way of thinking, you probably got yourself into this situation anyways by taking the wrong action plan, and if u really didn't do anything wrong and had no part of the shitty spot you are in then you have to take responsibility for how you feel about this period in your life. You probably got yourself in this situation and the only person who can get yourself out is you.

Do you think heroin will make your problems completely disappear or make your situation any better.? Let me tell you from first hand experience, heroin fucked my life.

Good luck.

Yeah heroin is never a solution to a problem.. be it physical pain, emotional pain, whatever. It's just going to cause you even more trouble and problems than you were in before.

I don't care what your great justification is for using heroin (and I've heard them all). You're just fooling yourself and it's all bullshit.
