Harm Reduction Taking the tournequet off

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

Is it okay to take it off right AFTER injecting? When I get the needle in a vein and then take the tourniquet off before pushing down the plunger, I find a lot if the time the needle shifts a bit resulting in a miss or partial miss.

I remember people saying you should take it off after hitting the vein but before pushing the plunger. Any time I tried that I’d usually miss, but then if I didn’t sometimes my blood pressure in that vein would be so high it’d push back out once I removed the needle. One of many reasons I’m glad I don’t shoot anymore.
