I have been an IV user for 3-4 years. Recently I bought a bundle and said I was not going to IV, Smoking/Snorting only. It does NOT get you near a nod or any type of "comfortable" feeling, other an subtle effects. Anyone else agree?
 
yea once you start slamming dope, any other way just isnt going to cut it. im assuming ur on the east coast cause u said u got a bundle, in which case dont smoke it cause it would be a waste unless you mix it with somethign like caffeine.

snorting it is the next best option if you dont want to shoot, but you know how it is man, live by the needle, die by the needle.
 
If you're not even feeling comfortable after doing it though, it sounds like you aren't using enough. I agree with the other guys, once you iv you're just not going to be as happy with another ROA, but in this case you might just be too low on the dose.
 
fucking plug the shit...it's the 2nd best way to get high off dope by far. if you can do it right, you dont waste any, (a negliable amount if at all), and that shit hits you hard and fast. smoking is merely a tease imo. depending on the dope.. i've had times where i sat there for like 8 hours, endlessly smoking TAR, and it was good tar too, but i just couldnt get high enough.. and you DO waste A LOT compared to IV or plugging. Snorting is ok, but plugging is definately the best bang for your buck, aside from IV'ing...just look at the "dope" pic in my gallery and read what i wrote.

oh and to answer your last sentence... i disagree for the most part. you are obviously smoking bunk ass shit, have too high a tolerance, or dont know how to smoke dope right. yeah, since assumingly it's not tar (although mind you people, there is tar on the east coast), snorting would be the way to go.

try snorting it. just fill half a table spoon (metal) with clean water. Mix and heat up a good amount of black into the water untill the water sorta "bubbles" and turns all brown.


then get a drinking straw and cut it short; then sort of snort up the water really fast while lifting your nose up and plugging it so none of the water trips out. You should do it while the water is still hot, and it will be bitter.

but trust me, it should do the trick.

smoking takes a lot of practice to get right. and gives a different sort of high, which is not as physically strong. But i prefer the smoke so ... just try snort n' spoon method.
 
Yup. After you IV that sweet warm embrace of heroin can only be had by spiking a vien.
 
I've been a heroin user for a year and a half now. Just started using the needle all the time. Use to only shoot up once in a while. Now It's everytime. if I try to just smoke I end up shooting. I don't think you're smoking it right still. I'm from the west so we have tar but from what I hear It's harder to smoke power

An easier way than using a straw to snort the liquid, is to draw it up in a syringe and squirt the solution up your nose.
 
Once you start iv'ing it's hard to go back to anything else. When you're iv'ing you know you're getting all of your product, it hits you quicker, and delivers a rush. Nothing else comes close to being similar.

Snorting is still ok, but it's hard to do when you know you'll waste dope and not get a rush.
 
Obviously wasn't enough, now nod's have set in, after more and more, haha.

Smoking - Mini rush you feel it pretty instantaneous, but with snorting it as well you get nice effects. I have never plugged but I personally think everything that has been said is true. Needle once, needle always.
 
Yeah, you seem to be going backwards. people usualy start smoking/sniffing and than move on to slamming, because once your used to slamming your not going to get off any other way, unless you take along brake to lower your tolarence
 
well it's more of a way to try to avoid withdrawals or trick my mind, its something i am experimenting with I'll let you guys/girls know

WTF are you guys talking about. I've "been there, done that" plenty of times. I'm not trying to come across crass, sorry..I just don't agree you guys...at least fully.. I partially agree. Yes, of course once you spike H it's like "wow",a major one for many a poor souls. I've came and gone down that road enough times to say that I have NO problem with snorting H or plugging at all (minus the uncomfortable syringe in my ass :\)... my point is, i can still get the same high...EVERYTHING about IV'ing...MINUS of course the rush. And I don't really care about rushes.. I'm patient enough to wait 5-15mins. Remember folks...it's ALL ABOUT DOSAGE. DOSAGE. DOSAGE. If I IV'd a single stamp of H, (minus the rush), I could and DO occasionally (when i occasionally still get a taste of the good stuff), get the SAME high by snorting/plugging. yeah plugging is more effiecient then snorting, 2nd best next to IV'ing IMO, but again....DOSAGE. It's all just a matter of how much money you have to "waste away", and how big the dosage is. If i snorted lets say 3-4bags of the same stuff that i'd IV 1 bag of...the high is the same. Common fucking sense. Don't take any of this personally. I'm playing the Devil's advocate in a way.. but seriously..I get that warm "IV only" glow every time when i snort...as long as i have no bupe in me and i snort enough in a certain time span.... 'nuff said.
*EDIT- plus, opiates are consistent and reliable...in the sense that you know the feeling you'll get every time from whichever one. And you know you won't start freaking out like on weed or psychedelics, etc. But come on....im on dope right now, and it feels just like the "good" (IV'ing)old days...(i snorted it)
 
Actually I've IV'ed once and afterword I was like...what's so great about this? Smoking gets you much higher, much faster.

And yes smoking gets you higher than shooting, so you must not know how to chase.

If you like the "rush" smoking is fucking great for that. Its instantaneous.

The only thing I can say is maybe I didn't shoot enough (which I'm pretty sure I didn't) but still, I love smoking. It's fun, and there is no real preparation needed.

But you, you're screwed because you've been shooting for over a year. I don't think you are gonna go back to any other MOA now.
 
look ppl. you need to STOP USING NEEDLES!

i used with syringes for about 2-3 weeks. started with black, then white, then both.

I knew my control was slipping. So I, QUIT!

went to suboxone clinic and haven't looked back.

but i know that shooting up is a whole different level. It was enough for me to try it and read about it. I will never touch a needle again.

Heroin is bad no matter how you look at it; but no matter how much you think you know about IV'ing yourself all day its still very bad. I've seen it first had, and experienced it.


if you care about yourself you will either give up your beloved drug, or at least try not using so much so can get through life!

you are kidding about smoking getting you more fucked up than shooting right? you must not have shot enough because anyone that has gotten a good hit off some good dope knows its the only way to fly.

we get tar every once in a while here in MD and the times i have smoked it doesnt touch a good blast.
