Injecting K

[GentlemanLoser]

As much as I think snorting K isn't that entertaining, others claim that injecting it is far more worth while.
So, how do you do this? I know it's not done into a vein, correct? Just stick it into your arm and hit the plunger? I've never shot anything before, but the oppurtunity is presenting itself in the coming week. The people who I'll be doing this w/ claim it will change my opinion of K.

Well, you could shoot in a vein but you would fall back so fast the needle would stay in. How much do you trust your friends who IM it? hehe IM is a far better experience, although it's not really a social drug by any means, especially not when injected. I will not state a dose, but use an insulin needle and stick it in perpendicular to the side of your arm just below the shoulder and inject nice and slow. You can stick it almost anywhere, I just prefer the arm. Dispose of the needle as you see fit.

I think I'm going to go bang some K now. God damn, it's fun.
To reply to your statement in the least favorite drug thread--a bump is actually stimulating, has mild hallucinations, a wonderful sense of numbness, and IMHO is much more euphoric than E. Touch and smell are exceptional. Sound is kind of fucked up, though. From my experience, IM 15mg achieves the same effects as about 50mg snorted. But those are for club purposes. If you want to experience the K-HOLE, you'll need a lot more.

This is a link to some excellent charts to follow for dosing of ketamine. I suggest you become very familiar with it, and if you are going to inject, you start at a moderate dose... remember full discociation can be very scary, and you casn always titrate up your dose later: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ketamine/ketamine_dose.shtml
As far as proper intramuscular injection procedure, the concept is simple: you need to put a needle into a large muscle (ie, your quads, buttocks, shoulder) while making sure not to hit and artery. You test for this by pulling back on the syringe after you stick in in the muscle tissue and see if blood flows back into the syringe. If not, inject... if so, you have hit an artery and need to try again.
It should go without saying that you should be using a new (disposable), sterile needle. Also, you should quickly clean the area you want to inject with an alcohol wipe.
I strongly suggest that you validate that someone there DOES know what they are doing, and is intelligent enough to explain the process to you.
Goodluck, and let us know how it goes.

Fuck it, I try to be really broad and non offensive or oppinionated on this site but I'm fucked if I will sit here and read about your intentions without saying DON'T DO IT. I haven't the brain power at this time of the morning to express myself in a way that doesn't create the forbidden fruit.
Believe me, if you have any potential problem with any drug (the dark side)then shooting up will most certainly concrete the problem.
Your obvious lack of knowledge regarding injecting (please know this is not a judgement)is potentially very dangerous. I hope you are with someone who really really knows the least harmful way to inject if you don't take my advice.
I wish I had never seen a needle. I destroyed the wonderful world of K thru inecting. I probably have holes in my brain and "Alney's leisions" because of it. If I can stop just a few others from making the same mistake then it wasn't totally for nothin'.

Yeah yeah.....flames abound.....but shooting IM 'Ain’t all that hard people.
. It is a hands on type of experience, not something you want to go blindly through with an FAQ printed out next to you as you attempt it. However, IM ( Inter Muscular) shots ARE NOT difficult to deliver, shit, my 10 year old cousin gives himself a shot every day, either he is really smart or it ‘ain’t that hard. IV (shooting into the vein itself) is much riskier. You will need a good junkie to show you the ropes. But you can put pharm grade Ketaminne in an insulin syringe, stick the needle in your butt cheek and depress the lever. It isn’t rocket science. Obviously the rules of sanitation apply: prep with alcohol, never re-use a needle,. Never share a needle, don’t get aids…etc etc…
Make damn sure you are dosing correctly, and have a trip sitter.

Is it possible to be in a k-hole and dance at the same time?
please don't hurt me...

(i've heard kids say they get in the k-hole after two 'bumps', I did around 75, felt my body get trapped in sort of loopy-type feeling, and my vision seemed to be reaching far out into this chandelier light... I was a bit stoned, and whether this had anything to do with my reaction I don't know... but I felt myself not wanting to be in that loop, move my legs and stand up and continue to be mobile... it sounds like it's rather hard to get out of the k-hole... any good advice on how not to get in besides not IMing 100 someodd mgs?)

 

[wickedclown_stl]

Only if it was possible to be in a k-hole and still realize that your mind is still housed inside of a body.
From Roches

you're not supposed to be functional. don't expect it. you'll have a lot more fun if you *want* to leave the world and stay there totally still for 45 minutes.
how to identify k-holes
1. if you can talk, you are not in a k-hole.
2. if you can move, you are not in a k-hole.
3. if you are saying "i'm so k-holed", you are not.
4. if you're trapped in a near-death dreamworld, unable to remember your own name, you may be in a k-hole.
5. you really can't realize that you're in a k-hole; it kinda feels like the k-hole IS your world, like there is no 'real world' on the other side.

That said, a k-hole is the only way to get the most enjoyment and awe from the wonder that is special K.

Um, I'm all for injecting K, but if you're talking IM it's not as simple as "find a large muscle and stick it in." Please look at one of those human physiology diagrams first, especially if you are planning on injecting into the buttocks. People have suffered from paralysis due to nerve damage from IM injections, so know where the needle needs to go before you stick yourself or someone else.

 

[Roches]

IM is easy, yeah, and IV is probably not as hard as people think.
depending on who you are. most people have at least one easily accessible vein. i happened to have large non-rolling surface veins and a big liking for the k.
so i was into a couple grams a day at one point. for a few months. i collapsed a vein. i got scars. i liked having scars. i still do.
it was really good. except that im mean and bitter and i have trouble talking now. still, after like a year. and i lost all my friends except for a couple crackheads.. so.. maybe it wasnt really a good thing. or maybe it was. i don't know.

 

[wickedclown_stl]

vibr8tor-
There is no way to fuck up an IM injection, unless you use a rusty nail. What part of the ass exactly does that magical nerve run through?

 

[vibr8tor]

^^^
The sciatic nerve, actually. I've given literally hundreds of injections, and there IS a risk, especially if you don't know your injection sites. It may be a slim risk, but it's still there, and people that are trained how to do it right still fuck up on occasion, so I would assume that someone with no medical training would have a higher risk. For injecting into the buttocks, visualize each buttock divided into 4 quadrants and stick to the upper outer quadrants.

 

[PeyoteK]

I'd give it a miss. You can get all the effects from snorting or swallowing it.
Sure, injection works, but do you have to inject beer because that works better injected too?

 

[Dr. Quack]

Hey vibrr taken anatomy? Cadavers or anything? The sciatic nerve is way deeper than a little insulin needle could ever go.
Most peoples asses have some padding + sciatic nerve is under the maximus + all the other muscles I can't remember the names of anymore from all that duster I suck. http://www.teleemg.com/EMGhpg/SciAnat.htm

 

[GentlemanLoser]

I don't like the drip of K. I've put every other imaginable substance up my nose...including some Paxil when I was 15. Don't do that, it hurts and it makes one side of your head feel funky. But, point being, I have no intention of shooting anything else, especially into a vein. Thats a bit much for my tastes. Sure, I know some people who will shoot anything (reference the post on shooting ritalin...ugh...), but this particular individual also doesnt do much but sit in his apartment smoking crack all day.
I'm trying it out Friday night. Upper quadrant of butt or under the shoulder blade of arm. ::crosses fingers:: The people who do this are *far* more into K than me and have been doing this for almost two years.
Thanks for the advice, I'll let everyone know what I think...I've got a nice comfortable recliner for the occasion. =)

Good luck Gentleman. I've no doubt injecting whiskey would change your idea of alcohol too but it's not something i'll be trying this lifetime.
Take care.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Honestly, I believe this is one of the few true "Don't knock it until you've tried it" experiences. For me and many many other recreational K users, injecting was such a different and intense experience, that it truly felt like another substance altogether.
I agree that injecting (Be it IM, SC, or IV) is not a practice that should be attempted without seriously considering and weighing out both the benefits and the risks. K addiction is real, and it is strong. For me, it was stronger than the craving for speed or even opiods. Injecting can potentially increase your likeliness to become hooked. Improper technique as well as unsanitary procedure also present problems.
That being said, I personally will never snort the drug ever again - injecting it is THAT much better. It just isn't fair to compare the different routes of administration, let alone conclude they that all yeild the same potential.

[vibr8tor]

Yes, Dr Quack, I have taken A&P classes. I agree that the risk is slim, but there have been enough incidents where people HAVE hit the sciatic nerve that it is stressed in textbooks and even on some product information sheets to use caution in properly locating injection sites. And not everyone uses tiny insulin syringes since they are intended for sub q injections.
I'm not trying to start a debate- I just wanted to say that if you don't know the first thing about injecting it's a good idea to study up a bit and know the possible risks. I'll shut up now and we can agree to disagree
