Hey all :)
It never occurred to me to hit up Subutex until my prescribing Dr said "for God's sake don't get caught diverting because Subtutex is totally injectable"
Well... having been an IV heroin user for many a year I figured I'd give it a go (the chemist gives me far more takeaway tablets than I'll ever need so figured why not).
All I do is crush the tablet (say 8mg) into a fine powder and dilute with plenty of cold water.
This creates a cloudy mixture which I'd then filter with a large ball of cotton wool.
If the mix still seemed a bit cloudy I'd re filter it again until the mix was pretty clear looking...
This would usually be enough to fill 2 100unit fits and gives me a nice buzz.
I've been doing this on and off for months now without any problems, yet I keep hearing/reading about how terribly dangerous and bad for you this is?
I'm always ultra clean about it and have never missed a vein.
My question is: "is this really as terrible a thing to be doing as everyone else seems to think?" and if so, why haven't I experienced any adverse effects?
Any ideas/advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps guys

Yes it is very dangerous. Mostly not because of immediate complications but because of long term complications that are just as dangerous. Injecting pills without a micron filter allows particles too small for a coton to filter out. These particles build up in the organs (heart, lungs, etc.) Over time and can be life threating.
 
Thanks heaps for that info guys, I will def invest in a micron filter before IVing it anymore!
Cheers n Merry Festive Season xxx
