After reading multiple threads about veins collapsing and veins being seemingly 'crunchy' I have a few questions about these issues. I love drugs and am certainly a connoisseur of almost every type. That said, I try to avoid needles thanks to some of the horrible IV related topics I have read on this board (note: not judging those who IV, it is simply a personal choice). So please note the former if you find these questions ignorant, as I have no experience myself.
1.) What is / what causes a 'crunchy' vein?
2.) Why does IVing cause veins to collapse and what exactly is a collapsed vein?
3.) Are collapsed veins dangerous? I assume there must still be some level of blood flow... is this a correct assumption?
4.) Is a collapsed vein caused by the drug use, adulterants/fillers, or simply the act of repeated penetration with the needle?
Thanks in advance for responses!

I've had this forum account for a long time, yet this is one of my first few times posting. I've recently become active again in reading these forums, which are spectacular and consist of much more mature conversation than any other "drug forum" I've encountered. Just thought I would throw that in; also, thanks to the moderators for keeping posts within the guidelines - - just kill/move this post if I've violated any of the rules.
