ok so my boy has this joy of using needles...it's not the needle itself coz i'm in love with needles but not with injecting shit into my veins. for him it's the opposite he loves shooting things in his veins. the thing that really bugs me is that he does all this in secret. and i normally find out from one of his friends or i accidently catch a glimpse at his arms. and also it's not like he's injecting one particular thing...he's doing it all... smack, coke, mdma...anything he could find that he could put up his veins. it's just really annoying to hear him say "i'll never do it again". and me actually beleiving that coz i threw out his needle and if he decided to do it again i'd hear about it coz he has no needle, boy was i wrong. all of this to ask for a way to make him be open about it with me or even better never touch a needle again. and it's not that he's addicted he only does it once a month or not even....
 
shame
if he's a needlefreak he'll have more than one... and they're not hard to get. so here's the thing - if it's affecting your thoughts re: oyur relationship, then you need to discuss it with him. if he's only shooting once a month, then if he cares for you enough he'll give it away. if it's just the deception that bothers you, then that's a seperate trust issue. so either way you need to talk about it.
i hid my needle use from my ex gf for three months. she still doesn't know. one day i'll grow the balls to tell her, but at the time it seemed more trouble than it was worth...
peace
 
the big problem is he WON'T talk about it. i'll bring it up and he'll completely switch the conversation.
 
He doesn't want to discuss it with you. Let him be. Why are you so concerned? Are you trying to save him from something? If so, what? By your own admission, he doesn't appear to be in danger.
 
I hope he's throwing those needles away, after more than one use they start to become very jagged, and can cause permanent damage to veins, vein hardening...etc...
Shooting every day or two is very bad for your heart, as well as can cause blood diseases and infections....
I got 2 infections infections in my time.
 
Needles are fun......veins are not...when uisng juice i usually shoot anywhere from 20-30cc of stuff a week so i break it up into 5cc everyday or so...ibut i rotate sites (glues...delts...bi's...quad..etc)when doing im injection remember to aspirate and take it slow...but as for IV thats a whole new ball game for me!
 
If he is so secretive how do you know it is only once or twice a month? Some people snort anything, some people pop anything. What ever, you are putting your self at risk if this guy is not being honest with you. What else is he keeping secret?
I think you had better have a little talk with him, tell him to be honest with you, accept it, or give the dude a boot.

Dude, take it from me, DO NOT inject shit into your veins.
Your body will have an extremly foul odor for days. The only benefit is the nice sub-cutaneous tan you'll be sporting at the beach...
Make sure your friend knows the seriousness of this.

IV doesnt do a god damn thing to your body in any way when you do it right, you will not fucking "smell" like ^ says, thats retarded, you will not have heart problems, you will not have vein problems.
That said, you WILL get some of those things if the following are true, A) your drugs suck and your dealer cut them with grandmas face powder, B) you use fucked up needles and not a fresh, new, sharp, sterile needle every time C) you clean the site EVERY TIME with alcohol D) AT LEAST filter the shit your injecting if it isnt USP injection from the pharm industry, you shouldnt be injecting tap water either, go get saline from a pharmacy, or at least a jug of distilled water from the grocery store which is a little cleaner than tap or anything else you have.
*DO NOT* use a needle more than once, for a number of reasons, first you get blood in it usually , and it will clot, then you inject again and you shoot a bloot clot into your veins AKA heart attack waiting to happen, Second, if your needle is not ABSOLUTELY new and sharp, it can "burr" which means the tip goes from being straight and sharp, to bending over like an asian in a sex shop, this means you have a SHARP object at a 90 degree angle going in your vein, you might as well use scissors instead. Next we have the fact that the needle can become completely clogged making it impossible to draw or shoot with it, next we have the fact that water siting in almost anything will eventualy grow bacteria in it, causeing serious infection or other shit.
Now that we have gone over the REAL causes of the things that can happen, STOP BLAMING EVERYTHING YOU FUCK UP ON THE ENTIRE IDEA OF IV INJECTION, when your in the hospital, what do they use? IV THERAPY, and how many times does the shit you describe happen? ALMOST NONE (the times it does are because of idiot nurses akin to idiot users like we have here), iv therapy is 100% safe when done correctly, of course as we can see idiots cant figure things out correctly so they blame there problems on things they *think* are "evil", there opinionated to say the least, and they are usually wrong.
Please follow whats called aseptic technique, which i outlined above, you can find it by searching for the words there in a search engine easily, and there should be a list of things to follow, please follow them.
Be safe, be smart
Later

tripdoctor - i think quantum was making references to odour and 'subcutaneous tan' because the original post makes reference to 'injecting shit into my veins' - i wouldn't recommend intravenous faecal abuse either

Thanks dr. suess for understanding my obvious comic relief
