I just wanted to say that despite the doubts and reservations that some people might have about plugging codeine, I have just plugged no more than 60mg of the stuff and I can barely keep my eyes open. Maybe I'm a lightweight, but I was addicted to codeine before and I smoked heroin only a week ok so it's unlikely. I used to snort codeine back in the day but I've since wrecked my nose so I'm going to stick with plugging in the future.

Also, are traditional smack/coke speedballs any good to plug? What would be a good starting dose for someone that has very little experience with coke?
 
Plugging is a hugely efficient ROA for virtually all drugs of every class. I'm sure you can plug speedballs. Doing so would likely be the closest thing to shooting them, and it ought to be much better on the body (obviously still not gonna be good for you at all though).

With regards to starting dose, I'm not sure what the specifics would be but the important thing to remember is to watch the opiate dose. Don't take consecutive speedballs or else you risk having an opiate OD when the cocaine wears off.
 
I've plugged a lot of opiates, I'd say that it's my preferred ROA when it comes to most opiates (with a few notable exceptions- heroin, for instance, I'd rather smoke). It's also nice to be able to raise the eyebrow of most any IV-junkie- I enjoy the dichotomy of having my sexuality questioned by people with big fuck off abscesses (despite having extremely liberal laws in NZ when it comes to needles- you can get them from vending machines 24/7 ffs- I'd say somewhere between 60-80% of IV users have extremely poor habits, like they learnt how to shoot up from requiem for a dream). Sorta like how a lot of IV-junkies/methheads are suprisingly puritanical about smoking weed, though that could just be a backlash against 'why don't just just smoke weed instead of poisoning yourself with that shit maaaan' hippie crap.

And yes, you can absolutely plug whatever weird speedball/polydrugcocktail you want- I've certainly taken some strange ones (YMMV- this is definately not a guide, it's more a diary of a polydrug-addict) for instance-
* Morphine/Methamphetamine/Midazolam
* Methadone/Methylphenidate/ketamine
* O-Desmethyltramadol/ketamine/methoxetamine/midazolam
* Morphine/ketamine/MDMA

All worked, morphine is particularly good plugged, as is methadone and O-Desmethyltramadol. Hydromorphone is pretty good plugged, but I'm not a huge fan of HM anyway. Cocaine is known to work particularly well plugged, so if you can get it in your part of the world then there's no reason it wouldn't work (although imo you'd probably be better to use morphine than heroin if you're intending to plug not IV)- every other stimulant I've tried (and I don't particularly like stims either, so it's generally taken as part of some upper-downer combo) has worked well plugged. Speaking specifically about plugging the best 'speedball' type thing would probably be morphine/MDMA- both have similiar come ups and durations when plugged and both work particularly well when plugged.

Methoxetamine + O-Desmethyltramadol/Morphine plugged = bliss (and soul destroying addiction)
 
ive plugged quite a few opiates, but it is my #1 roa for suboxone. ive only done it with the strips, but i can get by on 1-2mg plugged compared to 2-4mg taken sublinguily
 
Plugging is my #1 ROA for OC/morphine/hydrocodone, followed by oral. Oral is just as good though, with the exception of morphine.

Does the effects of oxy last longer plugged? I did 10mg last night and while I got pretty high it seemed to wear off faster than an equivalent dose of hydrocodone.
 
I have been plugging dilaudid for 2 years straight - a friend from this board (unfortunately deceased :() talked me into it, and it's been my ROA of choice for my dillies ever since. I get them prescribed, and figured needles and even snorting could be detected by my doctor, so that's a major reason I've continued to do it this way.

Yes, it's kind of weird that I do this several times a day, 7 days a week, and nobody I know in real life knows (including my druggie friends). Very occasionally I'll snort and even more rarely I'll swallow, but it's not because I enjoy the process (though I don't mind it, either - and I'm 100% straight)... if I have an oxy, I'll eat it 100% of the time.

I basically just take a 5ml oral syringe, snap my 8mg IR's into quarters, pull the plunger out, put the dillies in, put plunger back in, draw some slightly warm water into it, shake until it's fully dissolved, and.... you know the rest ;)

I've mixed in some dexedrine and various benzos at times, and it works well.
 
plugging methadone is pointless, isn't it?? :?

Oh no no no- Methadone is a strange creature, although plugging is the 'weakest' ROA (in terms of bioavailability- ~75% rather than 80-90% oral) it kicks in fully the fastest (there's been a couple of studies confirming this, so thia ain't all pulled outta my ass- pun totally intended)- if you've shot methadone you'll know it hits instantly, then in an hour or so it gets stronger- plugging takes longer to kick in that shooting it but you only get one 'wave', if you know what I mean?

I have no idea if plugging that god-awful flavoured/sweetened shit would work, I presume it would, but the methadone in NZ is 'biodone' and designed to be safe to shoot (with a wheel filter), but it's clear and only has 'methadone hci & water' listed in the ingredients- not even any preservatives, though you'll still get kicked off MMT if you admit to it- strange huh?

Hey thanks for all of the advice! Plugged a good bit of Tramadol yesterday (first time using the drug) and it was amazing actually. I had an out-of-body experience and all, not what I was expecting at all. Just wondering, should I be worried that there's always a bit of blood...?
