[jack-special-k]

Right okay, correct me if im being a complete moron.
But do you think the action of injecting is addictive? Like regardless of what drug your using.
Because i have only recently started inecting i only i.m inject to scared to i.v. But i friggin love injecting.
Any thought's?

P.s sorry if there's any grammar mistakes. x

That is an interesting question. I suppose if you used to inject something euphoric like stimulants, opioids etc, then I think because of the association the mere feeling can become addictive because of positive reinforcement.

If you were injecting saline, i suppose they may be a bit of a rush, and the pain releases endorphins, but i wouldn't think it's would be addicitive at all in a drug naivie person

I guess so. At the moment my drug's of choice are MXE and Ephylphenidate. There the only one's i inject. but other than that i like coke as well never inected it though. What about yourself? x

Yes, very much so. A lot of people really enjoy the act of IVing drugs and the whole ritual aspect, associated with the pleasure that comes with the high, can be extremely mentally addictive..

There is a very similar thread on this in Drug Culture - link here.

I'd check that out
