Heroin Is there a way to tell if a cut is dangerous?

[jones-in_J]

This iis off topic and going to have some ridicule following it i already know

But am i the only one pet peeved like a bitch every time i see the topic of micron filters come up and sees them as an impractical solution for most heroin addicts? Lol.

If i had to guess id say captain heroin will hate this post the most *edit*

^ There are plenty of heroin addicts that can afford them. I know a lot can't, but that's no reason to stop mentioning it. By the way, microns basically pay for themselves because they retain far less active ingredient than cotton filters do. I posted the figures in another thread, but from memory I wanna say that they only retain like 3% active ingredient whereas cotton retain close to 20% (hence people being able to get high from cotton shots).

i always do a water shot after i shoot d/glass to try to get the shit out of the cotton
idk if anybody else does that
i mean like run water through the cotton to try to get shit out.
btw tommy, a dog told me that you save D if you get the cotton wet before you drop it in the dope/water mixture, that true?

Never heard that id be interested to know if its true too

I never got that. "rinse shots". Please people, take this metaphorically, i obviously understand it completely (get well vs stay sick) but i mean in the general broad sense.

The whole freakin point of the filter is to filter out the bad stuff. The more you keep re-rinsing those filters, the more and more badstuff you get into your veins.

Meaning: rinse shots effectively defeats the majority of the purpose of using the filter in the first place.

Just chuck the cottons. What are you getting maybe another 1/10th of a good shot after so many cottons? Mixed with all that garbage that you sought to filter out in the first place? Not to mention all the bacteria that can then start growing on those wet gross things, plus the chance of cotton fever?

I know we all do crazy shit to get high but if you just chuck them in the first place after you do your normal shot when you are already high, you wont have any of these issues later on. And I know we all save shit for a rainy day but be honest: how much are you REALLY getting per re-rinse? And how many cottons did it take to get that anyway?

Yea ive heard ofbpeople stocking up on old cottons amd rinsing old disguisting cottons when they get sick, all those people siffered cotton fever at least once its fucjing stupid.


The only thing CLOSE tobthat that ive done is back when i used to get scramble there was always alot of shit left in the spoon afterwards, ive thrown a new cotton in there and shot that in desperation but even that was fucjing stupid

Now i get good ass raw that all disolves though, nothing left in the spoon or on thebcotton

But if you do reuse cottons when in a tight spot and havent suffered any adverse effects i siggest quitting doing it while youre still ahead or one day yiull get cotton fever or worse and regrer it

I've heard that before, but I don't think it would have much of an affect at all. Here is the study I was referring to before.

I don't really have an answer for you but I have thought about this before..

I find it surprising looking back at the past 5 years.. all those injections and not once did I get a bad reaction, cotton fever, or anything of the sort. I can only remember a handful of times out of the hundreds upon hudnresd of injections that the shot wasn't 100% translucent apple juice looking though... I remember one time having dope the consistancy of yoohoo (the drink) and it still was harmless. I can only think of one post I have ever read where complications arose from a properly executed shot.. and it sounded pretty serious.

I am around NYC and dope is pretty good around here and packed up for mass distribution.. if your dealer is cutting his own shit I could see a disaster coming pretty easily. I think when they are packing up 10,000 bundles at once they are smart enough not to put a deadly or harmful cut in for the obvious reason. Small time 'cutters' are probably not so smart. THe reason I think that is around here coke tends to get stomped on even by the low level dealers, but the dope is barely stomped on in comparison to coke.

Theoretically a micron might not save you from a harmful cut.. if the cut is 100% water soluable it will go right through.

But I mean at a glance with a naked eye unless you have some really SHIT dope theres no way in hell you are going to be able to determine what the cut is etc.. much less if it's harmful.

Here is a fool-proof solution, witness someone else shoot the dope first lol.

i always do a water shot after i shoot d/glass to try to get the shit out of the cotton
idk if anybody else does that
i mean like run water through the cotton to try to get shit out.
btw tommy, a dog told me that you save D if you get the cotton wet before you drop it in the dope/water mixture, that true?

If there is any savings it's minuscule.

However, I do prime my micron filters with water first. First I cotton filter the solution, then prime the filter with water, then I run the solution through the filter.
