Hi everyone, I posted on bluelight like 5 years ago, and I was just reading my old posts,
and I said some dumbass stupid shit.

Well i'm 25 almost 26 now and hopefully a bit wiser.
Anyway tonight I used a gram of powder, that feels like a mix of speed and coke, but who knows?
Well I sniffed 95% of it, but then had the urge to shoot some, I had a clean insurlin syringe, sterile water etc.
So it took me a few gos to hit a vein in my arm, I pulled back the pluger, blood filled into it so I relested the turnokin and injected.

Thing is at the injection site it when red and looked irritated but I felt no pain, it looks ok now but,
if when pulling back and blood fills the syringe, is it 100% that I shot straight into my vein?
Thank you.

Sorry edit: years age not age.
 
Yes, if you register darker blood, you are in a vein. However there is plenty of time to mess that up while taking the tourny off.

My viens are easy to hit, so I rarely use a tourny. When I do though, I will generally take tje tourny off, register again, then plunge.

Go check out the iv mega thread.
 
Yeah true, I got it in the end by lining up with the vein and when in pulling back while moving needle in more.

I just looked at where I shot up and it is a little swollen, red and it stings, I hope I didn't miss and it becomes an abscess :( but i'm pretty sure I did it right?

If you got effects from it then you did it right. If you have a huge purple bruise then you missed.

Put a hot compress on the site and just try not to worry about it, if there's swelling, bruising, pain, discoloration, etc that persists for more than a few hours, looks bigger than a mosquito bite or gets worse, then see a doctor.

It's not a smart idea to inject things that you don't seem to know the identity of. Just because it feels like speed or coke or whatever, doesn't mean it is. Test your stuff if you're going to be consuming it on a regular basis...

See the IV megathread for more information.
 
When you miss, there's almost always a bump that appears immediately, not just a little redness and itching around the site...
 
It looks fine today, and when I did it I did feel the rush from it, thanks for your reply's.
