I was watching a movie called "High Life" where the main characters are morphine junkies who crush pink morphine pills and shoot it intramuscularly. One the characters says, "Morphine isn't a street drug like heroin, you don't have to mess with your veins, you can shoot it into any muscle on your body" before shooting it into his leg. My question is, how effective of a ROA is this? I'm an IV heroin user and i would imagine that you wouldn't get a rush from it therefore it wouldn't be as good as IV. Any opinions on this?
 
The fact of the matter is that this is a horrible idea.
IV'ing pills is bad enough, but IM is much worse.
IM'ing pills is just asking for an abcess or to lose a limb.
Please for your own safety & well being do not IM pills.
IV will have a higher BA than IM in most cases & is actually safer as well in this case.
If you do choose to IV pills please be sure to use a micron filter.
If your not familiar with micron's read the following thread.

Micron Filtering Mega Thread and FAQ

Regardless of whether or not you use micron's it's still considered extremely unsafe to IM the resulting solution.
Unless you have a sterile ampule I wouldn't even consider trying to IM.
Even with a sterile ampule your still better off going with IV as IMHO it'll be a better experience.

Just because you see something in the movies doesn't mean it's true. ;)
So please take this answer to your question to heart & don't IM morphine pills.
I'll try to keep an eye on this thread if you have happen to have any other questions that weren't answered.

Have a safe & happy holiday.
 
Definitely not as good of a rush as IV but it IS gonna hit faster and harder than any other ROA, minus IV. Sounds like a bad idea to me. If i'm not mistaken it is "safer" to IV a pill i.e. morphine than to shoot it into muscle. There will be fillers and such that get lodged into muscle tissue and could cause problems quick including but not limited to abcesses. In summary, it would be an effective ROA but a more dangerous one unless you're talking clear liquid morphine tailored for IV/IM use. Otherwise if it's from a pill, it has lots of danger involved IM but would be felt second best to IV.
 
Nonsense. Shooting morphine IV is the only way to to get a rush(and quite a nice one). IM of anything not intended to be injected (meaning pills) is a great way to get an absess.
 
Thanks, I wasn't planning on IMing anything anytime soon I was just curious about it since I saw that movie. Personally i couldn't figure out why you would wanna shoot any other way than IV- if your using a needle may as well get the rush and the full effect right? I figured the movie was wrong, o well it was still funny as hell and i do recommend seeing it if you're in the mood for a drug comedy.
 
What about a sealed vial of medical grade liquid morphine sulfate?

Just curious how the effects would compare with the different ROA.

If its sealed liquid Morphine Sulfate you can technically go the IM route without the danger of using pills to inject but you still won't get a rush like IV'ing. But shooting pills via IM route is dangerous.
