safety of rinsing cottons for another shot??

Whats up guys sooo i have maybe 10 needles where i mixed up crack using the top lid for it.. so thats 10 tops and cottons for each one. Now its been 2 days since i used them and when i originally did it i made sure i got each and every drop out of the cotton... my point being they werent sitting around wet in the least bit

My question- would it be safe to take enough liquid for one shot and shoot/refilter it thru each one of them in hopes of getting one more shot?? could i get cotton fever like this??

And one more question.. if i have a stem with a tiiiiiiny bit of res is there any way to safetly shoot it? Thanks

Not a good idea. The risk of infection is not worth the possibility that some extremely tiny amount of drug was left behind. Why would you be injecting crack? And what are "tops"? Do you mean the bigger clear plastic cap that comes on the plunger of the syringe?

Having said that, I know you are probably going to do it anyway if you are an addict and desperate, so if you are going to do it regardless of anyone telling you it's unsafe, what you could do to reduce the risk is make your water solution by wetting the cottons, draw it up into a syringe, squirt it out into a clean spoon, then heat it until it boils, then draw it up through a fresh filter into a fresh syringe.

Yea thatd the piece i meant

And i did in fact mean shooting crack- i mixed it, gave it some time tk stop bubbling and shot. After that i read a lot on this site today about how bad vinegar and lemon/lime juice are. We dojt have exchanges around here where i can get citric acid but i am going ti find a way to get it even if that means ordering off amazon whicg is likely cuz iv have noooo fuckim idea what store around here wouldyou sell it

And im not sick nor have i even had any coke today so im def not fiending enough to do wbat i asked about. Thanks sooo much for your reponses, im sure a lot of people here ignore health warnings but im def taking this one thanks again u guys!!
 
Thats a great way to get cotton fever. I used to save my cottons for when i was dry but one time i got cotton fever. And trust and believe i will never re use a cotton again.
 
Do Not Proceed.

Completely reckless and desperate thing to do, almost as reckless as skipping through a field of landmines. It doesn't matter if there's one landmine or a hundred if you step on just one and it's definitely not worth the risk. You're asking how safe it is to inject water that you've run through what should be treated as medical waste, a biohazard. You're rinsing the same gross, stored, wet piece of cotton that you used to try and filter out particulate matter to shoot crack cocaine. The amount you lose through filtration should be treated as the loss that it really is.

This is the same type of reckless behavior that you notice reckless drug addicts do. With methamphetamine, people will spend hours transfixed finding methamphetamine that isn't there, vaporizing every square inch of their pizzo and then rinsing it. Rinsing baggies, straws, containers once, twice, again and again. Searching the floor for shards that might have somehow landed on the floor instead of under the device you so carefully crushed it with the first time. You see the same shit with cocaine users especially when they're coming down.

Even when I was an IV cocaine user I tried my best to keep within certain boundaries which over time don't make sense to you anymore, but I would definitely not inject a solution that has been exposed to so many biohazards if I was in any normal mindset. I would have to be suffering a full on psychotic episode to do something that reckless, or relapse to IV.

I don't get tyhe point in injecting crack. Doesn't smoking produce the desired effect?

When you inject crack you are getting 100% of the drug delivered into your system. People also inject crack because it doesn't have adulterants like cocaine HCL.

But isn't cociane water soluble? So most of the cut usually wouldn't make it past the filter.

This is mostly the case yes... Some people don't have a source for good hcl or any hcl, so booting crack is all they can boot...

Yea shooting crack is very dissapointinng i get waaaay more out of just smoking it

I live with people that makes that route of administration impossible sometimes though thats the only reason i shot it to begin with
 
Wow, this thread has really scared me. I've been using the same cottons to filter heroin for days at a time. I knew it wasn't the best idea, but lately I have been getting heroin that is difficult suck up so there is always a lot left in the cotton. I have been remedying this by using the same cotton over and over. I usually throw them out when they turn completely gray/brown.

This thread has made me realize what a risk I was taking. I will stop doing this. So far I feel no signs of infection.

Question, how bad is it to reuse a needle? What I normally do is after shooting, Ill rinse the needle and then use it again the next day. Bad?
 
^If you're being sarcastic, you should know that you're very clever. Especially the way you intentionally messed up the grammar while asking a question that most people know the answer to. if you weren't being sarcastic, sorry. yes, re-using cottons is bad. i do it, but i shouldn't. so is reusing needles.

anyways to answer jones question...
best case, you'll do your cotton shot and it'll give you a little taste and a little numby and you'll find yourself very angry for no obvious reason.
worst case, you'll get cotton fever and experience it'll be all agonizing and shit and from that point on you'll always tell your friends don't reuse cottons, i got cotton fever, and they won't listen and they'll shoot their cottons anyways.

also people shoot crack for lots of reasons: it's generally a purer product, they don't have powder, they like the taste of lemon juice/kool-aid in their mouths...

Plus the risk of bacteria growth and disease. I hope the thread scared you straight. I use to re use filters when I was sick and YES it did make me feel slightly better for like 20 mins but honestly it's not even worth the risk. Plus you kinda hit the reset button on withdrawls.
 
dont do it..such a bad idea. just get another bag. eek i cant imagine using old residue or cotton pieces. Im not a fan of IV in the first place. But i have seen people use old cottons..never old rigs tho. eeeeek
