Harm Reduction Intravenous Nicotine

edit:

Just saw your post zneg..about posting useful info. LOL,.

I really don't think it shoudl even stay open..there is no useful advice aside from don't do it.

Actually..my advice is, "experimenting" with drugs should not be taken literally. You don't want to literally experiment on your body with something potentially dangerous. Do you really want to be the 1st person to OD IVing nicotine? The 6 oclock news is going to end up talking about the epidemic of kids IVing cigarettes. When you buy that lucy you are going to be looked at as an crack addict lol,

Breaking news. Man dies after injecting used cigarette filters and tobacco fragments into his arteries! More to come..


MY true advice OP, as if I were you -
If i really wanted to do this, and I knew i could get pharmaceutical grade nicotine, then i would do it. Start low with 100mcgs. If you need help diluting the solution, let us know when you get the product .
 
Do you have the freebase or a salt? The freebase absorbs bucally (inside the cheek) very rapidly, I'd say 5 seconds for the first effects and 10 for full. That's probably as good as IV, so you might want to give that a shot, if you're really hellbent on experiencing that rush.

I myself am a slave to this particular demon. I made a thread about it here. Be safe, start low, and for the love of GOD don't take anything close to the doses I take. My tolerance is, quite obviously, insane.

If you're not already addicted to this particular substance, re-think why you want to try it. As a general rule, the faster a drug sets in, the more addictive it is, and you've got quite a combination there. Is this really a road you want to go down?
 
I'm going to offer my sentiments to my fellow Bluelighters. Like it, loathe it, here it is:

The OP seems entirely rational, intelligent, and most importantly, dead set on doing this. For what purpose are half of you guys coming here and belittling/making fun of/judging the OP's decision? Is this added HR advice? Not when the OP is already determined to do it. If you can't contribute anything to the OP's question of how to do this in the safest manner possible, there really isn't anything to comment on, is there?

I see this all the time in a wide range of topics, including one of my own recently. One will ask how to do something safely, and they're told not to do it at all. No shit 8(

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but there is little HR value in telling someone not to do something when they're going to do it anyway. If everyone were to take this approach, the OP would likely proceed without meaningful advice and the risk he is taking multiplies, as his original question went unanswered. I've seen this countless times.

It's certainly valid to tell someone they're better off not doing/trying something, but this sentiment becomes meaningless when their original question goes unanswered and they've already stated they're doing it anyway.

Just food for thought.
 
^Aside from your post being slightly ironic, maybe the OP should know and feel that it's a stupid idea. These are real world reactions to his idea, he should receive them.
 
Sorry OP i couldn't help laughing when i heard your idea to do this. But yeah i dont think its safe considering the low LD50 of nicotine, the fact it is used a pesticide (unless you are secretly telling us you are a pest), the fact it is highly addictive (more so than heroin perhaps), it has been banned for use in many countries due to its toxicity, that there are other options like sticking 5 nicotine patches on at once (although i don't recommend this either)... i have just quit smoking and i am chewing nicotine gum and its working for me.

But please post back so we know you are alive
 
Not at all Toucan.

I'm expressing what, in my opinion, is the cold hard reality of the situation.

Edit: I admit, I missed where he stated "if/when I do this." That is my bad, perhaps I read the OP too hastily. I do, however, stand by my sentiments. Try to give the best advice possible considering the person will be doing what is stated. Posts like "this is stupid" don't contribute much. There are still quite a number of threads where the OP is deadset on dosing x, and just looking for guidelines.

Also, I never stated there weren't extremely helpful responses in the thread, there are. Just, imo, clouded by some meaningless ones. Perhaps my post is just as meaningless, but I digress.

Yes, it's impossible to give "accurate" doses when you're discussing heroin or a little known substance such as this. However, in my opinion, in these cases it's best to recommend doses that shouldn't kill anyone. And then to go from there.

It's better to recommend he does 10mg (meaningless numbers, I know nothing of IV nicotine), where 10mg should be an absolutely miniscule dose, than were he to try 75mg on his own, and have that be an OD.

Again, I didn't mean to sound/come off as harsh, rather to just give my opinion on how these topics seem to go down.

Hey, if I'm wrong or mistaken, so be it. Just my thoughts. :)

To the OP: You should probably try a very small "test dose" first, like one would when they're trying a new batch of dope.

new poor man's speedball ingredient. I thought of doing this as well. there have been times in the past where a few small pieces of tobacco ended up in my spoon while fixing my shot of dope (usually when using a cig filter for cotton). nothing seemed to come out of it, though the nicotine I'm sure was very low.

Just wanted to point out that IVing 10mg of nicotine will most likely kill anyone. I hope you mean 10mcg (micrograms) and not mg.

are you sure? gosselin (1988) estimated a lethal dose of 30-60mg for adults. that's 0.5-1mg/kg. <- please disregard. that's orally, as has been pointed out by someone else.

also, pure nicotine is probably dangerous to handle considering it is absorbed transdermally and active in such small doses.

Inhalation isn't quick enough for you?

Seriously, smoked nicotine is one of the fastest onset drugs there is, with a short-enough half life as it is... can you imagine how fiendy an IV nicotine addicition will be? That will be the hardest thing to quit, EVER.

Don't do it, nothing good will come out of this.

I agree, but thanks to swimmingdancer and CH for harm reduction info, just in case the OP is actually reckless enough to try this stupid idea.

OP, stick to smoked nicotine. Be safe, and keep us updated, man <3
 
Have you jumped out of that perfectly good airplane? I really hope you are not stuck compulsively banging back mcgs out of some huge vial of nicotine.. man i'll post rite after this load, this one, for sure this one, one last one.. and so on and so forth.

Bits of ash or tobacco can cause a reaction similar to cotton fever aka a dirty hit. It's important to try to avoid getting tobacco/ash in a shot for this reason. Glad to hear you never experienced anything like that though.

That's why I put that in quotations. I said this is not real numbers, made up for purposes of my point. Apologies if that wasn't clear enough.
