for the freaks out there that are already going to do this anid dilute it 1:10 (ten units of ethanol/90 units of sterile water/etc), I had a question.

What forms of ethanol are safe? 40% vodka/gin? or would you want everclear?

Thanks again for any professional answers (special thanks goes out to sekio for answering my post in Cannabis Discussion).
 
Well gin and whiskey definitely are not safe as they have things added to them post-distillation. I'm not sure about vodka and cbf to google it. If you can get your hands on pure ethanol (195 everclear), why would you not use it?

A bit off-topic, I had a friend who tried an ethanol enema and earned himself a decently long stay at the hospital for a ruptured colon. I can only see this ending just as badly if not worse. WHYYYY you would take alcohol any way other than drinking it/eating it (ffs make jello shots if you don't like the taste) is beyond me. Stop being weirddddd bruh. Stay safe!
 
Plain vodka or everclear are not chemically different.

They are both tightly manufactured...

Anything else but water and alcohol are impurities and they do a very good job at making solutions.

Start off with everclear if you need it to be sterile... Or any pure rectified spirit with 62% or over alcohol.
 
It is not a good idea to inject alcohol, full stop. It is even dumber to do so for recreation. You need to inject large amounts of fluids or risk vein destruction, and the toxicity of ethanol is much higher when delivered directly into your blood...

Do not inject undiluted alcohol. Even diluted alcohol will irritate your veins. Regular injection of alcohol will lead to vein damage quite rapidly. Do not IM or SC inject alcohol or it will cause localised tissue death.

Ethanol 10% in water injected intravenously is a possible treatment for methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning. Even so, it's administered in a clinical setting, where people can monitor your blood levels and avoid giving you too much. It is not a safe thing to do on your own, for recreation.'

If you're going to inject ethanol IV, make sure it's *just* ethanol in water - other fusel oils and tannins in drinks like whiskey can cause bad reactions when injected. Avoid crap with sugar and flavors in it.

There is not a lot of harm reduction discussing alcohol injection. Alcohol is well absorbed through the stomach and intestines. Injecting alcohol bypasses all of your body's safety mechanisms for removing alcohol from it and is much harder to dose correctly than drinking.

I’m pretty sure captain heroin is making a solution to dissolve some drug...
 
You would want a high quality vodka, since vodka is by definition (near pure) ethanol diluted with water. You probably shouldn't IV ethanol under any circumstances.

There is nothing chemically different about neutral grain distilled drinking spirits except strength. I like your thinking actually.

Remember, If he is to IV a solution being homemade, I would use rectified spirits 95% or everclear 75% or 95%(both strengths are bactericidal).

I would make a set concentration of the drug in no lower than 62% diluted rectified spirits, then dilute right before use, making the concentration you wish to use as to inject the cleanest shot possible.

Even 40% alcohol is probably way too strong - not very compatible with veins, if you catch my drift. I wouldn't go much higher than 10-15%.

Captain Heroin is a pretty intelligent drug user. He is making an alcohol solution to dissolve some kind of drug. He wouldn't go shooting up shots of Vodka or White Lightning.
 
Don't try to inject ethanol iv. Not only you are damaging that vein also you don't feel any rush that you think. I also don't recommend undiluted benzos(diazepam,etc..) , also damaging your vein. If you had to, use an iv line and afterwards send alot of sterile isotonic solution to wash your vein .

Your veins are so delicate and necassary, be kind to your veins...
 
Thanks for caring about my veins taskamil!

However, it was already established if you had read the post above yours, that nobody is going to be injecting straight ethanol. However, it may be useful if one wants to inject something that is not soluble in water, not that I would recommend that, but that is what (I think) is being discussed in this thread.
 
hey Captain H - soo many of your posts have helped me alot...

this isn't really an intelligent response, but it is based on my personal, first hand experience, which has to b worth <<something>> - i hope i don't get flamed for this...

when i was young and completely stupid i was hard-up and despirate one day and IVed straight whiskey a few times. it didn't do anything but flash the taste in my mouth. i did, total, 2-3 mls.

good luch capt. h! sounds like you're up to something - i know you'll be safe...
 
i knew a guy who injected alcohol and he said his arm burned like mad and had to go to the hospital i'm not sure what they did for him but he said to never even try it
