If one has to do it, with let's say... Lorazepam 1mg brand name Ativan, the oral type, how would he be the most safe with it?

Each white, scored, oblong tablet, engraved with "Ativan" on one side and "1" on the other side, contains

Medecinal ingredients : Lorazepam 1mg; Water Solubility = 0.08mg/ml. Source
Nonmedicinal ingredients: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and polacrilin potassium. <- About 10 different sources for this.

So from what I've read, I heard microcrystalline cellulose is what's bad for shooting so how to remove it with simple chemical process (mixing with liquid and filtering, boiling, cooling) I don't have any micron filters but I do have propylene glycol.

So what would happen if I were to do this:

Crush a 1mg tablet into fine powder.
Mix with 12mg water, shake a bit and then filter through cofee filter. (the 1mg lorazepam should go through but not the microcrystalline cellulose(i think) then boil the water down to less than 1mg... let it cool down and then add 10 units of propylene glycol, add coton and pull it with needle and then shoot it?

Would that remove the microcrystalline cellulose and the magnesium stearate, I dont think lactose and potassium is dangerous but maybe i'm wrong.

So for the purpose of doing this the safest way you can with no access to micron filters, would this be the best way?

And no use saying its oral bio is better bla bla bla I know all this and many threads about shooting benzo are up lately due to people getting access to propylene glycol I think. So this could prevent some harms for them if they read this proper way to do it.

Any info is greatly appreciated

Hmm, ok?

Why? Simply because, I shoot water too, Oral and Intranasal doesn't do shit to me and I have a penchant for stings, now either reply constructive informations or don't reply.
 
I cant speak on the topic at hand but was wondering what shooting up water exactly does for you? Is shooting up a fetish for you?
 
I've shot opioids for so long, the nervousness, stress, peak point swelling when I'm shooting causes a placebo high for a couple seconds.
So if it cant be done saftely, what is the safest way to do it?
 
I would just buy a micron filter off the net theyre pretty cheap. I dont think many people are going to know if boiling lorazepam pills will remove micrcrystaline cellulose thats pretty obscure knowledge. But I could be wrong and I wish you luck.
 
Pulmonary Embolism, loss of limbs, gangrene, the list goes on.

You cannot safely do this without a micron filter sorry. Even then it's a risk.

Come on dude you're shooting up water for thrills, check yourself into rehab. I know this isn't what you want to hear but that's seriously some sick shit. Everyone I knew in my life who had this IV fetish are dead now. Don't be the next to join them.

Look, this nurse got fired for administering crushed ativan as an IV to a patient. http://www.drugs.com/forum/pharmacists/ativan-error-45208.html
 
so what if it doesnt, and i get this in my veins, what do i risk?

Here are some risks.

If you are to boil it, you have to make sure that you allow it to cool down so that any of the cuts that are insoluble at body temperature precipitate out before you filter it, otherwise they will precipitate out in your veins.

Another problem with boiling it is that some metals from pans can end up in the solution. Aluminum toxicity can occur this way, and is documented here.

If you use the proper solvent but don't have a micron filter, you should not IV the solution. If you still choose to do so, you need to filter it multiple times, and this will still not be safe.
 
intranasal is 80% on benzos since when? ive nevernoticed anything from snorting any of them back in the day ,no faster onset that is

people snort the shiit around me all the time but i prefer oral ,so was i misinformed
 
^ I don't think it is that high. I think the nasal BA of most benzos is well below 50%, with the exception of midazolam which is a bit higher since it is the only water-soluble benzodiazepine.
 
I've seen in india they sell vials of diazepam, but its bad to inject that stuff, so what it is for? does it have to be diluted first or something?
 
^ The alcohol in it would make it burn, so perhaps it is diluted. I think the only practical use for it is for people that a seizing up.
 
Snorting benzos BA is nowhere near 80% show a source that says that. I'd guess it's less than 10% for most benzos, including ativan. Benzo's all have extremely high oral BA's, just use the oral ROA. How many times must this be said. Even when people IV benzos "safely" or "correctly" the ONLY difference is duration of onset, NO difference in intensity of effects, NO rush, NO point.

QFT

Don't join the ranks of this guys friends, and my good personal friends who've all passed on because they thought they knew better than everyone else in this world. You've got multiple people telling you this is a stupid idea, can't you just accept that?

I know this is a HR forum but damn dude, you're shooting up water for kicks. I don't care if someone comes a long and posts a 10 page essay on how to shoot up benzos "safely" it'll still be a incredibly stupid thing to do when the BA of the oral ROA is so high.

I don't mean to come off at as insulting, but in this case, I have zero advice for you aside from "eat the benzo". Take it from someone with ravaged sinuses due to a snorting fetish, it ain't worth your long term health to get off on shooting random stuff into your veins.

Think about it this way: I'm a man that'll cram a 10mg oxycodone up my nose if its got 325mg of APAP in it just because of my snorting fetish, and even I know its a bad idea to take a xanax any other way than to eat the thing.

Whatever you do, get rid of those needles you have laying around dude. You're going to end up in a very bad way if you continue doing this. If you've gotten to the point that you're shooting up water for fun I think its time you take a long look at yourself in the mirror.
 
^ word. If this dude snorts norcos and still knows not to rail xanax, you gotta give him some cred. And at least his decision to snort APAP isn't exactly playing Russian roulette. It may not be very efficient, but it's much more harmless than mainlining H20.

I love to snort too but I wont even rail OxyContin anymore (OP's anyway). Only thing I would snort is an IR, the only thing I do snort these days is Opana. Even then, I'd probably end up plugging it. I wouldn't say I have a fetish but I probably use rectal more than any ROA. It's not fun like snorting but getting more out of my pain killers makes it worth it.

Lorazepam isn't worth injecting; it's not very sedating IME. I have IV'd alprazolam as this drug is a wonderful one to IV however lorazepam, while I have never IV'd it myself, it doesn't even really seem worth IVing. Alprazolam is a different story to me.
