Opinion on Shooting Black Tar?

Okay so I've decided that I'm going to attempt to IV some good ol' mexican brown. This is the first time I will have IVed anything period. I was just wondering how unsafe shooting black tar is compared to powder, and if there are any steps to take to purify the stuff. Also, about how much of a dime bag should I use my first time shootin? For a dime, a usually get a piece about the size of a large piece of nerd candy.
 
Mexican brown shouldn't be tar. It should be rocked chunks or powder, and it should be good. I shoot it all the time (that's basically all they have in Baltimore), no problems. There shouldn't be any purification beyond water and cotton neccessary.
As for a dose, start out with half. If it's not enough, you can shoot the other half.

A FOAF shot some of that nasty Mexican tar shit. It was a bitch to dissolve, and seemed to precipitate out as soon as it cooled a bit. He just heated it a few times, let it cool (better it precipitate in the cooker than in your veins!), and filtered the liquid. Seemed scared shooting black liquid, but noticed no adverse consequences. A blob the size of a small Nerd piece (cost $6) was about half a good hit.
 
Thanks for the replies.
Soviet, my stuff is TAR, hard and almost the consitancy of a rock. I call it mexican brown because I though the term black tar and mexican brown were interchangable for heroin coming from mexico. I've been around the opiate/heroin discussions on this for a while and you have some good insights. My only reasons for being apprehensive about this are the contaminants that can be found in black tar (ie botulism(sp), other bacteria, rat shit, etc). How serious is the danger of contracting some rare desease through shooting black tar?

Well seeing as how I reside in a place that only has tar, it is not feasable to obtain powder. From what I understand its REALLY good tar. I already have smoked this stuff, a couple of times actually, and it doesn't give me my bang for the buck. Last time it took me $20 worth to just get high, and I ended up spending $40 to get high 2 times that night. I don't like the taste, and I don't much like the high compared to snorting smack. I believe it is good to be apprehensive about these things to an extent, and I don't feel that being slightly apprehensive warrants not doing it at all.
 
Evil, I have no idea what the health risk of shooting tar are. It's just not available in the area. So I couldn't tell you at all if there is a chance for bacteria and stuff to reside in it. But I'm pretty sure that heating it up until it's just about to boil should basically take care of that.
If you're unsure about it not dissolving enough and are afraid of large particles, you can always go through the steps of preparing it using 15-20 more units than usual, then instead of injecting it into your vein, inject what you've filtered into another spoon and use another cotton to filter it twice.
Again, I've never used tar, so I don't know what the potency is like, but I've gotten really dark rocks of dope called "raw" that will turn the water black. And it is BY FAR amazingly potent. So I doubt double filtering it will reduce any bang for your buck.
And just so I don't have to start a new thread since we're already on the topic, does anyone of any methods to get rid of any bruising related to injecting? I've got two where I think I started pulling out the needle a little bit while injecting and some just got under my skin and left the bruises. Basically I'm looking for anything to quicken the recovery AND I'm also curious of any types of make up I might be able to use to cover them up.
 
you can use the shit chicks have, in a small circular deal w/ mirror and little pad and shit.. i think its called toner, not sure though, that should cover it. just make sure you inject slowly, that'll help. also, what gauge needle are you using? go to 29 if you have something else.
Peace

1) "Mexican brown" is a slang term, could refer to powder or tar, though usually tar is known as "Mexican mud"..
2) If you have never shot anything, I do NOT recomend you start with tar asthe purity could be anywhere from "total crap" to "horribly potent" .. it's also VERY HARD to 'describe' how much tar one should shoot..
I would definitly start by smoking a SMALL AMOUNT, once you have gauged it's effects/potentcy, you can decide on a safe amount to inject (though if you're a total IV virgin, I don't recomend it)..

Dont know anything about banging tar but Soviet i can help you out.
You want to get some 'concealer', clinique is a good brand, the body shop also makes one thats OK.
For bruising try huridoid(sp) -it's a cream.
 
If you check the IV-FAQ I gave a few names of some creams to help with marks... but yeah, in a jam you can work WONDERS with womens makeup...

Soviet- polysporin is a cream that i use. i use it mainly for the hit mark but it does help brusing a little. also tiger balm is good, and it has a nice euchaliptus(sp) smell.
 
Thanks for the tips. I was suppossed to have quit, got two bruises, and I have to see my girlfriend tommorrow.
As you can see, after more than two years how trusting and mature we've come towards each other.
Save me the lecture, I already know...
 
SC -
Trust me, it's for the better you're girlfriend doesn't shoot heroin... in fact, NO ONES girlfriend should shoot heroin... why? Simple, because then they will be jocking you for smack all the time... right now you can lay back and enjoy some slow oral, but once she gets the taste of the brown you will have to contend with her heroin injection before the hot beef injection...
Thanks god none of my girlfriends have liked opioids!

LOL Phreex.. yes, I'm glad she's not into it either. What's funny is it was actually her idea to try heroin again since it had been two years. It was suppossed to just be a one time thing. She's not into drugs anymore. She's into college courses. I'm glad. Other than painkillers, I haven't had much interest in drugs either. Unfortunantly the one time heroin thing has lasted 2 months for me. She wasn't aware of how often I was using and I failed to mention to her that I was shooting. My "concerned" friends, ironically the ones who got me into shooting told her what was up, so she wanted me to stop. At first I didn't want to and kept going, now I do want to stop. I've been having problems going cold turkey because I become so eratic and irritable, so I'm trying to ween off. At any rate, I had these bruises and needed to cover them up today. The concealer worked great.
 
Glad to hear it worked for ya soviet.
Boyfriends are just as bad, believe me, infact I'm sure they bitch & whine more than girls do, they get all sulky too....Never again.
