There has to be some big difference or otherwise we would disallow suggestions of the more dangerous method (IV). Do we not do this solely because IVing is popular and we won't be able quell it's popularity so we try to make it as healthy as possible??

I just don't see why we don't just stick to plugging when IVing can kill you without any drugs being involved. I'm not saying get rid of the How to Inject Safely thread(s), just to add a warning on any official thread about IV that plugging is similarly effective and infinitely safer. Don't attempt to make the argument that IV is just as safe if done right, because the potential for it to be done wrong means it's not as safe.
 
I actually haven't IV'd any drugs and I'm not doctor so I don't know but my speculation is that hitting the vein/bloodstream is much more instantaneous than absorbing through a mucous membrane (ie: plugging, sublingual.) In addition, not all substances can be absorbed through a mucous membrane (not sure exactly which, or if any drug falls under this category but that statement still stands true.)

I also think some people just enjoy the ritual of IV, and others are put-off by sticking things up their butt.

Yeah, amazing how they can inject but think plugging is gross. I'd rather have shit in my ass than mess with my veins any day.
 
It's funny, just before I saw this thread, I said the following in a post about plugging:

"While plugging definitely gives me something a little more like a rush, it's still a lot closer to swallowing pills than it is to IVing them -- and, honestly, to me, that's a feature, not a bug. IVing makes oxycodone feel like an entirely different drug -- just not necessarily a better one. It's really intensely pleasurable for a few seconds, and then it's kind of meh for a while, and then 45 minutes later, it might as well have never happened.

My best analogy is like the difference between the giddy feeling of having been slipped the number of the hottest, coolest girl at the bar vs. an orgasm during a late-night drunken hookup with some rando whose face you can barely remember by the time you're hailing a cab outside her apartment at 5AM."

Of course, that's just the case with oxycodone (and hydrocodone) -- there's good reason why those drugs aren't used intravenously in medicine.

My mother really enjoyed IVing oxycodone, to the point of almost dying a bunch of times. I saw that a bunch as a kid. Must be pretty good to make someone do that to their self and family.

Also, I always prefer longer lasting highs. The way my mind works, if it's too short it may as well have not even happened. Then again I'm addicted to masturbation (orgasm) which gives one of the shortest highs of all. But it's so damn good. Also the people that say heroin is like an orgasm thats 10x stronger or whatever, BS. If I had a feeling too much more intense than an orgasm I'd probably have an aneurysm. SERIOUSLY it's really strong. Like my heart will beat out of my chest for a few minutes afterwards. I'm guessing though it's this feeling that has people injecting theirself with dope continously, must be nice to push the plunger on an orgasm. Me? I like touching my dick.
