Is shooting pills really that bad?

Really, I've been reading and everyone is sooo anti, I understand that it's dangerous, but is it that bad, when compared to shooting some of the shitty street H?

Been doing a little morphine and oxy here and there over the years, the odd Ritalin in the there too, and aside from missing a vein a couple of times, and getting a bit of a lump, had no issues...the most worrying being when trying to get it in the tiny vein in the bicep and it split, golf ball sized purple/bluey red bruise...

Aside from the binders you get in it, if you use sterile water, cook it up a little, suck it up through a cig filter, and run it through a wheel filter, would of thought it would be one of the safest ways of mainlining drugs?

Don't have much choice, it's literally the only way for me to get high, aside from snorting a ridiculous amount of oxys which is just not financially feasible...
 
it really dependz on what pill and how often you do it. i would think shootable pills are fine if you use a micron filter, but ive used cotton, you just dont wanna be doing that over a long period of time
 
Yeah, I've been shooting a variety of both pills and street drugs on and off for 15 years and the worst that ever happened to me was the occasional miss.

The above advice by no way means go for it and shoot your pills. It is highly dangerous.

As opposed to shooting guestimated doses of something made in a field in Afganistan or some rednecks garage which is perfectly safe.;)
 
No route of administration for any drug is 100% safe. But I'd rather give my advice for HR purposes.

Especially if your shootin up shit thats insoluble in water. Both a waste of drugs and can have very dangerous repercussions.
 
when i heard of peeps doing this i thought, wtf, why would you? i guess it's just an infatuation with the pin.....i only ever shot liquid morp and val....lovely!
 
is injecting yer self with a pill and/or g-d knows what REALLY that good for you? some people can get away with it, some can't.
 
I did all kinds of wrong and un sterile things for 2 years shooting pills, i was completely oblivious to any kind of safe injecting/ harm reduction purposes. i didnt experience any adverse effects besides on absess from a miss that i had to get lanced. that was from shooting a kadian, which is really bad to shoot. then again maybe i had no bad effects cuz i stuck to shooting immediate release Oxy and brand name Dilaudid, and stayed away from waxy pills like OC and i never tried to do all that crazy MS-Contin gel-defeating shit which is totally insane to try. neverless i have educated myself about the corrects ways to IV and im much safer now. as with all drugs, injecting anything is a risk beyond snorting and oral administration.
 
Azron,

I'm not totally naive, it's just nice to hear someone else say, look I did it, I'm still here..I know there are risks, I've been down to some pretty bad places..it's just I was starting to wonder if it was worse than junk. I'm very familiar, with smack, and I know a lot of junkies current and ex, who have been doing it for decades, but I know hardly any frequent pill shooters, and upon reflecting that I realized perhaps there was a reason i don't lol

I think it's more to do with the fact that the real stuff is nearly impossible to source in the place I currently live, hence the pill need over junk...

For me it's simply about getting as fucked up as possible, I know that's not a great thing to say, but I've got control (atm at least) A friend has half a codeine, and she's half way to strawberry fields, but when it's really hard to score where I am, and a natural tolerance like mine, it's a matter of needing to rail to get as fucked up as I need to be..

The times when I get lucky and get a script for a bunch of pills, I'll shove em up me nose, I fucking love it, but I can't afford to snort the amount I need when I buy the fuckers.

All that and the feeling you get when it touches your brain, combined with the element of risk involved, really makes you feel alive...
 
Yes it is worse than junk. Im saying been there....don't do it.

End of the day if you don't care then I certainly don't give fuck.

Have a stroke, then come and ask me for advice.
 
Its not really safe to do i myself have done it with morph(mst) and ritalin but there is a safe way to go about it ie always micron filter and dont make a habit (pun intended) of it.
 
I dont agree with people just saying to the person " yes its bad, dont do it". they are obviously considering it, they probably will be doing it, and its best, while trying to warn them away, to also give them as much info as possible so they can be safe if they choose to use pills IV. OP, there are some great Thread out there for learning about harm reduction for shooting pills. use the search engine to check out:

Inactive Ingredients A to Z
Micron Filtering Megathread

Also there are tons of guides for safer shooting in general all over the internet
 
Thanks Oxydilly, but I'm a relatively regular user, i was just wondering if there was something I didn't know about, I don't see how some pharmaceutical binders could be worse than the shite they often put in street H is all.... as my previous post..
 
Shooting pills in my opinion isn't that bad honestly if your going to shoot anything at least you know whats in pills, Even if it's binders and fillers.

And this is kind of a excuse but eventually if you continue to use pills after a while you will end up shooting them unless you like snorting 160mgs of oxy LOL.....

Honestly if you know what your doing and aren't some fool, shooting can be relatively safe.
