Plugging Heroin

I do not IV drugs although I have wanted to recently on a few occasions. I was thinking plugging might be a viable alternative.

I do not have extensive opiate experience but I frequently do a CWE extraction to gain codeine now taking approx. 512mg a time, have taken opium a couple of times and I have smoked heroin numerous times now, with the most being half a gram at a time, although my chasing technique is not always great and I usually get others to run for me.

If I was to try plugging some:

1) is the bioavailability greater than smoked?

2) how does the feeling compare to smoked and to IV

3) what would be a sensible starting dose?

4) would I still need to use citric when mixing the shot?

5) how would it compare to 0.2g opium oral?

Thanks %)
 
Not only will your health thank you, but you will be getting atleast 1.5x-2x as much of the drug in your system if you were to plug heroin instead of smoke.

There's no need for anything but room temperature water, an oral syringe, lubricant and a brave soul 8). You will probably find yourself liking the effects much more then smoking it considering how much of the drug you save.

IV'ing, there is no comparison. IV'ing any drug is a whole new world of drugs in it-self regardless of the drug. This is not recommended at all. The difference between ROA's will never come even comparably close to the difference between the rest of them and IV. Do yourselves and us a favor - don't head down that road.
 
Good reply, thanks. Not sure why I haven't thought of plugging H before, I have done it with amphetamines.

Given that I smoke 0.5g (possibly only getting about 0.3g due to me not chasing well), what would be a good dose to plug?

Do you get more of an initial rush compared to chasing?
 
How is plugging amphetamines? Ive been taking adderall for 2 years now and ive never tried it. I hear equally good and bad things about it though
 
^this is about heroin, not amphetamines. use the search engine.

omt - i would begin with no more than 50mg and gauge your reaction from there. it will take a little longer to hit you (2-10mins as a ballpark range) whereas smoking hits instantaneously when the vapours reach your lungs. it won't "hit" you as hard but overall the high will be stronger.

i am not 100% sure whether you will need to add the citric to the mix as you do for IV. i'm leaning towards no, as it doesn't need to be fully dissolved, just sucked into the barrel where the blood vessels in your rectum will then absorb the drug. you might want to ask some of your euro counterparts in your regional discussion board, alternatively having a search around for other threads.
 
Be nice guys :)
s2k1099 - Here in BDD we generally prefer if people try to stick to the topic of the thread and use the search engine to see if their question has been answered before posting a new question. However omt did mention that he/she had plugged amphetamines, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that you asked. Going a little off-topic isn't a crime. But your reply didn't need to be "gtfo" either. Perhaps tentram didn't notice that your post was a response to the one above? Anyway, we have an entire Big & Dandy Guide to Rectal Administration for anyone with questions about plugging.

Back to the original topic:

As for whether or not one would need to add citric acid to base heroin for plugging, my educated guess would be that adding the acid may increase the onset and bioavailablity. Base heroin IS lipid (fat) soluble; the acid is added for IV in order to make it water-soluble. When snorting or plugging base heroin with no acid it may not get absorbed as well because mucous fluid (mostly comprised of water) coats the membranes in your nose and rectum, and heroin base won't dissolve in this water-based mucus, while heroin salt will. So it may be advantageous to add the acid so that it will pass through this mucus more easily. At least this is all my educated guess, I have never personally plugged base heroin. Someone can correct me if I am wrong :)
