Harm Reduction Results of My Intravenous Nicotine Experiment

[Druidus]

Despite all of the BLers who told me it was a bad idea, I went ahead with my plan and injected pure nicotine.

I decided on a dose of 1.75mg.

Let me tell you this: If you have access to pure nicotine, or can extract your own, it IS worth it.

There was a rush, and, yes, I would definitely categorize it as a stimulant rush. It was similar to cocaine IV or amphetamine IV, but definitely more like cocaine.

It was NOT as pleasurable as IV cocaine, I'll be honest about that. But there was euphoria, and it was overall quite pleasurable. The high, after the initial rush, seemed to last roughly half an hour.

The only negative effects I noticed were that my skin seemed to get "hotter", I experienced a degree of nausea, and there was noticeable jitteriness.

I'd definitely do it again. It's not something I'd do everyday, but it WAS a positive experience, and a worthwhile experiment.

Nicotine is very interesting, when administered intravenously.

That's interesting, I actually tried this once myself after reading somewhere that some people were unable to differentiate the effects of IV cocaine or nicotine in some study done a long time ago. When I tried it I used nicotine from e-liquid used in electronic cigarettes. I tried to be as precise as possible when calculating and diluting the dose. I can't remember how much nicotine I ended up injecting, but I do remember that nothing happened. My friend whom participated in the experiment said that his cigarette craving subsided, but that was it.

advocating iv usage is not harm reduction

I'm not advocating it. Just reporting back on my experience like I said I would.

Ah gee... Why would you even risk a vein for something like this? Toss a chew in and start gutting it. I would not risk a vein with nicotine. To each his own, i suppose. glad your all right and it was somewhat worth it.

Perhaps if this gets closed you could post about your experience in Trip Reports (or possibly in your earlier thread where you were asking questions in preparation of doing it). Your post comes off a little too glorifying of drug use and saying, "If you have access to pure nicotine, or can extract your own, it IS worth it." does sound like you're encouraging people to inject nicotine.

Sounds like this belongs in the Trip Reports sub-forum.

My 2 cents: To myself, IV meth/IV cocaine isn't worth it, and neither is IV nicotine. What one person is going to deem "worth using" will undoubtedly vary from the next, to each his own... but I wouldn't advise anyone shoot a stimulant like nicotine, or cocaine, or methamphetamine.

This. There are multiple reasons why this thread isn't ok. Take this to TR, we don't handle trip reports or content glorifying such drug abuse.
