Hi, quick question...

I have been shooting up heroin for about 6 months now. I feel like I am pretty good at it as when I do it I don't miss the vein, I don't bruise, I do eveverything properly and well.

Although for the last couple days it seems like no matter where I shoot that it is not working. I swear that I am not missing the vein at all. I pull back on the plunger and there is blood, I inject half and pull back on the plunger and there is still blood etc. So I did a shot and I didn't feel anything from it and my arm got a bit of bump (like what you see when you miss a shot), I tried another couple times (on a different arm and vein incase it was collapsed) and the same thing happened, once it didn't get a bump. So I shot up 5 times, each time only a little bit after the initial shot and each time it doesn't work and I feel absolutely nothing from it.

I don't understand what is going on and why it is not working, no matter where on the body...

Anyway does anyone have some advice or suggestions or reasons they can tell me why this is happening?

thanks
 
Is it possible that you have a very weak batch?

Have you tried this batch with any other ROA to test it?

I don't suggest IV'ing a larger dose, this is extremely dangerous, I would recommend snorting some however.
 
I think you may be right, the dose is extremely weak and I am not missing. I did snort some yesterday and today and I don't feel anything but it makes withdrawal stop or makes me feel normal basically.

So I am thinking it's just a really weak batch. I am thinking that maybe it would be a good down to quit from since it's been a couple days and I have shot up with it and don't feel anything. So maybe it'll be easier to quit from this weak dose than a stronger dose.
