EDIT: Just to clarify this was Intra-Muscular Injection
and i know this was a idiotic idea its just how i interpreted how to filter a 2c-e IM injection :|

ive already done a google search etc but to no avail.

i know this is psychadelic drugs forum, but i was injecting about 10mg of 2c-e and was using about 1/5th of a cigarette filter inbetween the needle and syringe as a 'filter' as someone recommended somewhere i think

anyway when i was finished injecting about 10 minutes later i realised that the cotton had disappeared, so i know for a fact that its in my leg now

is there anything i can do about foreign objects in my body? i've heard about needles being broken off in people's arms and just being left there for decades but ive never heard of someone injecting a cotton and its just got me worried.


regards, MR.E
 
id go to the doctor if you used a cig butt??????? WTF!!!! dont you know to never use cig filters cuz they contain fiber glass!!! and how tiny of a piece did you use to not notice it was gone? i dont get this...if there was part of the filter in the needle pretty sure it would have clogged it. If you used 2c-e from a rc company so it was pure product would you need a filter? Just use distilled water that is sterile and all sterile equipment and alcohol swabs to clean the injection area..did you at least do that if you were trying to be soo clean and careful about using a needle. A basic google search would have told you to NEVER use a cig filter and given you other safety instructions. But im curious how was the trip???
 
ok so this is exactly what happened,

t:00 injected 3ml 2c-e with a 1/5 of a cigarette filter in between needle and syringe as a micron-filter type of deal

t:50mins approx injected 6ml 2c-e with filter in place

t:1 hour and 30 approx, injected another 10ml 2c-e (why? because it still hadnt come on yet, i guess im not very sensative to phenthylamines)

t:1 hour 40 approx, looked at syringe when disposing and realised that the filter had vanished, i kid you not, theres a 90% chance id say that its in my leg, the other 10% is a mindfuck of me managing to lose it somehow in some mid process)

anyway atm im getting tracers and the computer screen is moving a little, but is there anything i should look for in the next day or so if i actually fucked this up?

everything was sterile, i used alcohol swabs and the 2c-e is lab assayed and 99% and all that i just read that it was good to use a cotton filter aswell as a precaution
 
For fucks sake-

1) Why the fuck do people think that if you believe that you potentially done yourself serious harm the best thing that you can do about the situation is ask THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET for its opinion? I mean, if you were hiding under your bed as people stormed your fucking house and were holding a gun to your partners head would you call the fucking cops or ask your friends for advice on facebook?

THE INTERNET IS NOT A SUBSITUTE FOR IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION

2) Why the fuck do people think that if they have potentially done serious harm to themselves do they think that the best thing to do is to take a 'wait and see' approach? If you were bitten by a snake and you didn't know what sort of snake it was or whether or not it was poisonous would you sit down and have a cigarette- give it a little bit of time to see if you go into anaphylactic shock or not? Or would you kill the fucking snake, call an ambulance immediately and show the paramedics the snake that bit you?

TAKING A BATH IS NOT A SUBSITUTE FOR IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION

3) Why the fuck do people think that they don't need to take any responsiblity for their own health an wellbeing? Why is it that there are all of these people who are perfectly willing to do all sorts of dumb/risky things (like injecting research chemicals you bought off the internet into your fucking muscles) without being willing to actually take the appropriate and necessary precautions to ensure your continued exsistance as a living, breathing, fully-functioning creature? If you are big enough and brave enough and mature enough to be sticking yourself with needles so that you can 'T0T411Y TR1PZ B411Z D00D!' then you are big enough and brave enough and mature enough to go to a fucking ER and explain what you think has happened so that you can recieve the appropriate medical assistance BEFORE the situation is beyond being remedied.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR YOU TO BE THIS IRRESPONSIBLE- IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE THESE SORTS OF RISKS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE SHOULD YOU NEED IT

Go to a fucking ER you moron. If you have injected any particles into your muscle, with an extremely caustic chemical (I have had chemical burns in my mouth from having the raw powder on my tounge, I partially dissolved a plastic card dosing 2C-E up- people I know who have IV'd it said it burnt like fuck, burnt worse than injecting vodka apparently- god knows what injecting it into your muscle will do) you WILL get an abscess which may well result in necrosis ([tissue death) and/or blood poisoning and this may well lead to you losing a large piece of the muscle/you losing your entire leg/you losing your fucking LIFE.

So, it's up to you bro- take a fucking bath and hope for the best. Maybe you'll be lucky- maybe you haven't done anything to yourself, you're just a little drug-fucked at the moment- or maybe tommorow you'll wake up in a cold sweat, shivering, your entire leg swollen and stiff, the injection site now home to a excrusiatingly painful lump the size of a golf ball. Maybe by the time you actually get the strength together to drag yourself out of your bedroom and to the phone to call an ambulance that take 40 minutes to arrive you teh infection will have already reached your blood stream, the sickness being helpfully spread throughout your entire body by your beating heart. And maybe you won't respond to the anti-biotics, maybe they'll amputate the leg in a desperate attempt to rid you of the infection....but maybe it will be too late. Maybe you'll die slowly in a hospital bed surrounded by your loved ones who are in so much pain that they don't even care that you did this to yourself, that you did this to yourself in an effort to get high- they just wish that you had gotten assistance earlier, if you had just gone to the hospital earlier none of this would have happened.

Up to you bro.
 
^ A bit ott, but I have to agree. I don't wish to insult you Mysterie, and I hope you're having a good trip, but you are a monumental idiot in the nicest possible way. I'd suggest you go to a doctor when you sober up. I know it's a hard thing to do when the problem is directly related to drug use, but you haven't got much choice. 8(
 
you seriously say that everything was sterile but you used a venti filter from the shop? sterile means sterile, theres no way a cigarette filter is sterile like that, no matter how much alcohol you drench it in (the brochure is for safer injections, not medical grade).
why were you iming 2ce in the first place? you seem to be at the very beginning with this chem, and you cite ml of substance instead of weight. how much are we supposed to think you injected? id have a hard time beliveing a guy on 20mg 2ce when he told me he did anything, let alone he injected whatever (just saying the mindfuck might be a lot stronger than thought). also, 20ml of substance is quite a lot to inject...
what needle did you use? generally small caliber needles clog up really easy with whatever fibers there are and you might have just thought you injected that much.

get to a doctor if you really are worried and care for your health. any kind of bath wont really help you, nothing will draw the substance of impurities out (theres no "channel" left once you retract the needle so the substance is deposited there without means of escape...

people should take more care of themselves. ive got mixed feelings about safer injection brochures.

Absolutely over the top- but at the same time, my point is in no way invalid. If you're going to use needles, in my opinion, you have responsibility to take care of yourself and others. This means that if you inject particles/get an abscess/blahblah you take yourself to the ER and HONESTY explain your situation and concerns, just like you have a responsibility to not use dirty needles and you have a responsibility to safely dispose of your needles.

It's like people who don't call fucking ambulances when someone overdoses because they're scared- if you're brave enough to be taking drugs that can kill you, you bettter be brave enough to call the hospital and say 'My friend has overdosed on X, you neeed to get here as quickly as possible, I am here, I will be waiting out front to take you to him- is there anything that I can do in the meantime?'- you don't throw them in a cold shower/inject them with uppers/cold water/whatever other irresponsible bullshit thing to do.

There is a lot of politics and hidden agenda and lobbying and other bullshit that keeps drugs illegal- and then there's also fuckwits like this that prohibitionists can point to, with every justification, as 'proof' that drugs 'need' to be illegal because they are 'dangerous'. Drugs aren't a danger to people- People are a danger to themselves.
 
I absolutely agree. I think most of us on Bluelight do, after all we are about harm reduction. Let's hope this guy learns a lesson from this.

No I wouldn't go to facebook to deal with an attempted murder/assault.... However I might find myself at a drug harm reduction focus forum if I had possibly done damage to myself with drugs. I don't think running the expensive ass emergency room for a little bit of cotton in the leg is the best thing to do, as that's potentially unnecessary and definitely a pounding to the wallet. My question is what exactly are these forums for if not for questions like these?

Don't go off at someone for coming to a harm reduction drug forum, to look for information on reducing harm with their drug use!!

Not really a helpful comment, and unnecessarily aggressive, just sayin'
 
yeh i kinda expected some hate but that was a little uncalled for limonov

this is what i read on bluelight which lead me to do such a "dumb" thing as IM'ing a RC, but rlly bluelight is where i get my HR information from and this was from a poster who i considered to be very intelligent when it comes to drugs

"A wheel filter would be the ideal way to filter it. You can find a guide in OD.
If you dont have a wheel filter at least use a cotton."

now i dont think i'm taking this out of context as its from a thread titled "safe IM techniques for RC's (2c-e input?)"

here is the thread link post#16

why dont i go to the ER?, firstly ive had splinters from wood go into my body and never come out and they would have been far than less from sterile, also i live with my hx catholic parents and if they knew i was injecting anything i know everything would get blown way the fuck outta proportion

im really not that fucking dumb, thats why i read about what to do on a HR forum before i did it, what i just really wanted to know was any anecdotal advice or if someone really felt it was worth losing the trust of my folks forever because im gonna lose my left leg 8o

isnt it possible for it to break down in time from the acidity in the bloodstream?

RE: the trip, i dont know how and i can only assume its because of the cotton somehow, but from IM'ing close to 15mg of 2c-e within the space of 2 hours and i only got to threshold effects a ++ at most, slight tracers for maybe 15 minutes at the peak.

also regarding wellbeing, i do like to take care of my body, i try and eat well, i do yoga a few times a week and i appreciate psychedelics for there spiritual and meditation purposes as well, so please stop trying to treat me like im just doing it to get "fucked up", but at the same time life can really suck sometimes aswell and its good to escape.

so.. what size needle did you use? whats the aproximate size of the thing?
it doesnt really break down, more likely it gets covered up in scar tissue and remains as a little nodule (that you could even feel sometimes, in certain circumstances). thats in the likelyhood that it doesnt get infected. if it does get infected then you will feel it and it may require drainage (a small incision to remove the puss and maybe the foreign object) or not, if it resovles itself (via the previous method of forming scar tissue around it, or just evacuates the puss by itself). as a side note, the blood is not really acidic to break down cellulose fibers (im guessing thats what most filters are medo of? ive no idea) or anything else for that matter. the body also tends to keep the blood as far away as possible from contaminants...
 
1. sorry i meant mg
2. i had been im'ing MXE and enjoyed the short come-up and i read everything on the internet there is to about intra muscular injection of 2c-e and there seemed to be no long term consequences
3. it was 26 gauge, and i have no idea how it could have fit through the needle, but maybe it was possible with enough pressure.
4. the size of the cotton was 1/5th of a micro slim filter used for cigarettes, so it would be about the size of a quarter of a euro pound, in thickness as well

Man I was a heroin junkie for years, used plenty of 26g syringes, and cotton from cigarettes. I just can't see how you would suck up that entire piece of cotton. I've sucked up cotton strands and injected them (intravenously), people told me I would get "cotton fever", but never had an issue. I figure cotton fever is bullshit. Is it possible that you misplaced the cotton because your tripping?

its just that i didnt trip hard at all, i still cant sleep and my pupils are dilated, but i didnt get into a 'trippy' headset, or have even CEV's for the entire duration of the trip.

yeh its possible and i hope to god, im going to have an extremely thorough check of my rooms contents now though
 
FALSE ALARM ERRYBODY FOUND THE COTTON STILL IN THE SYRINGE

i checked the wrong used syringe like 4 times by coincidence somehow and kept looking at the one which i had used without any cotton so i figured it must have gone through and freaked out, this with some grass and psychadelics, blew outta hand with anxiety, sorry for everyone freaking out i'll be fine now thanks for replying though

we can close the thread :D

and i dont think ill be injecting anything soon, its not worth that light ache and potential for disasters, sticking to plugging from now on
 
Yeah that sounded impossible, you were probably just tripping too hard. Why do you need to filter 2CE of all things?
 
Glad you're in the clear dude... I felt a bit sorry for you but I've never nor do I ever intend to use a needle & just think perhaps it's a bit reckless with RC's or any new-ish compound...

But never mind all the proselytising, gald you're alright. Do take care in future!
