intravenous mephedrone, other peoples experiences and potential for addiction?

[shammo]

Hi everyone I m new so please be gentle with me.

I first tried mephedrone in april last year after a few years of total abstinence from recreational drugs and I absolutely loved it, I then started seeing the man who introduced me to it and we spent almost every Saturday night taking it, in October he injected it in front of me (I didn't even know this was possible at the time) I said I was ok with it but would prefer if he didn't do it right in front of me as it made me feel queasy needless to say he ignored my request and about a month later I asked him if I could try it as well. he prepared a clean needle for me and injected me, it really blew my mind and I really enjoyed it, I didn't want to be an intravenous drug user so vowed to only get him to inject me now and again and keep my main roa as snorting, I kept it up for a while but normally ended doing a few shots every Saturday mixed in with snorting.

obviously this relationship was unhealthy and we have now separated, and I haven't touched mephedrone since (8weeks) I now know that I can't take mephedrone on a weekly basis because its so harsh on me and I lost a lot of weight has anyone who injects this stuff ever been able to just indulge every few months and be fine? as I would like to do it again but do not want to end up seriously addicted (I think I was quite close before)

Also there doesn't seem to be much information on shooting up mephedrone so I would be interested to hear other peoples experiences (good and bad)

thanks (oh and please ask any questions you think are relevant

I have lots of experience snorting it & I preferred that over IV use, even though I'm otherwise a huge fan of that ROA. If you feel you came close to an addiction, continuing to mess with the drug is only going to increase that potential & make it harder to quit IME. If it's caused you problems in the past, then I recommend you stay off it, or at least stick to snorting it.

Thanks Bob, you are completely right the last week or so I haven't thought about doing it quite as much as I did before, it used to be on my mind almost constantly. I think the iv obsession might be because it used to scare me so much my heart would pound and I would sweat and feel faint before I d even had any so I think the fear response added to the experience (adrenaline maybe?) also I think I only ever started on that roa to feel closer to my boyfriend and share what he was doing, I will stay off it for another few weeks at least and if I do decide to dabble again I will make sure there are no needles about in case I get tempted after a couple of lines.

Sorry if this inappropriate but how much and how often were you using?

 

[shammo]

Hi no not inappropriate at all, I wasnt too bad I don't think normally 2 or 3 grams on a Saturday night well street grams so each one about 0.7 g but I did spend all week eagerly anticipating Saturday it really got into my head but it's been about 9 week's since I touched the stuff so feel like I m back in control

Iv mephedrone is hugely addictive. In ireland after it was banned most of the ex-heroin addicts kept buying the "snow-blow" from the street, cut with god knows what. they use citric acid to break it down and inject it while still hot so it doesnt solidify in the syringe. they look terrible.

even if you're getting pure 4mmc the potential for addiction is as big as meth or coke.

Oh my god that sounds awful! Luckily I know my source cuts with either salt or sugar so nothing dangerous, I m still being strong and haven't touched it, but must admit I m struggling today I can't stop thinking about it! I miss it so much and know 100% that as soon as a good opportunity arrives I will be indulging again:-/
