I was wondering if any of the big guys on these forums have a good way of finding veins? I'm pretty thick and African-American. Smoking Heroin just Isn't cutting it anymore. My friend use to shoot me up but he's dead :(

a tourniquet*belt* never really seems to work, last time I could actually see one of my veins I marked it with a pen. I've tried rubbing alcohol on my skin, slapping, pumping fist, none of it really seems to work

Isn't it the Hunt For Red October?


Either way, have you tried searching this?

I wouldn't know what to search for, most people don't necessarily have this problem. Thick guys with light complexions can just slap their skin. The october being my veins, looking for blue.
 
Or try snorting it (unless youve got the Tar). Snorting it is probably alot better than smoking it.
 
that sucks bro.. i have a friend thats been shooting for a while and veins hide if you dont take care of them.. and he takes like a half an hour to find a fucking vein because theyve all hid from him. your biggest veins should be right were your arm bends in at the inside of your elbow right in the middle. im sure you already know what angle your supposed to poke around at and to just pull back on the syringe and move the needle all the way in, and move it back very slowly untill you see blood rush into it. By the way you should always use a tournequit. and to the second poster he obviously named the thread the hunt for blue october because veins are blue.. duh.. blood is blue untill it hits oxygen

and just to add.. smoking tar.. is the biggest waste of tar .. i cant even get high at all from smoking it

thats why I'm looking for veins haha, yeah I've never really been able to see my veins. My friend was a "sniper" as he called. He could shoot anything. He would say he got a vein and I thought it was a stretch mark or something.
 
I've shot a few times in my history and I have deep hidden veins (I'm not particularly big, I'm about 5-10 lbs overweight, but even when I was thin and in shape my veins never popped out). I always found that some leg exercise (run up and down some stairs) that I'd always get a good one in my calf to pop out and could register it pretty well. I could almost never get my arms to work. Feet, legs, and back of my hand.

how in the hell did you manage to shoot in your calf though?
 
Why dont you just IM or SC it if you cant find a vein? It's alot easier and dosent fuck your veins up, although I dont think their is a 'rush' like IV'ing.

from what I hear IM'ing tar Isn't the best of Ideas, SC? skin pop? I guess but It always leaves huge bruises that hurt for a week
 
Yeah skin pop, Ive only done it once with morphine (on accident) and IT DID leave a slightly painful 'bubble' in my skin but it went away that day.
 
If you just load up the syringe and stick the needle in the top of your arm (by your muscles) and inject slowly and pull out the needle FAST. then you shouldnt get a bubble, @ least i didnt when I tried SC' in that way.

Huge vein bulging out of it. Thats one of the few places on my body I could get a vein to get itself to pop. Just shot low, tied off right under my knee. I don't think you need to tie off it you're sitting down though.

I guess I'm going to try that, but I'll probably go with plan B. I'm going to find a vein on my arm and get a runway with an airplane on it tattooed so mark the spot. Or a better tattoo..whatever hah. Fuck Im smoking my stuff right now, I'm so goddamn sick of throwing up. What I meant about calf shooting is the angle, doesnt it suck?
 
In the spirit of harm reduction, do not take that guy's advice to IM or SC tar.

What's wrong with your inner elbow area? That's the easiest place to hit. After that, you could try your hand or forearm.
 
I don't IV drugs, but am a combat lifesaver. A lot of people dont have visible veins or ones that pop out easily. I would use the tourniquet and then softly rub the area the veins are in on your arm. You usually can feel them and hit them even if you cant see it... Hope that helps.

my skin is lighter there but the veins aren't anymore visible. Is it possible to just poke around in that general area and get something?
