Harm Reduction The Safer Injecting Handbook - MUST-READ BEFORE YOU INJECT DRUGS!!!

[Jnowhere]

Just sayin - homicide rate in the US around 4 times that of the UK and 76% of homicides in the US are carried out using fire-arms. Almost like the underlying rate of people who LIKE to draw out someone's demise, someone who derive PLEASURE are a different breed.

It's worth noting that their is no proof of any single killer having claimed more than 100 lives. Read up on those with higher figures and you soon learn that their isn't even much evidence.

So you know those higher figures have no foundation in evidence - and yet you keep stating them?

You know, the 'because I say so' isn't really a solid basis for stating facts.

Hitchens's razor applies to such statements.

It is south American of course there is not much forensic evidence and where is also tapered, I really miss him, he was smart and polite in disagreements, a gentleman in the truest since. Where is he?

Also tapered, you remember barbiturates, here I thought I was old. They use to try to warn us back in the early 90's with out of date anti drug films. We were like what the hell is a barbiturate? Then there were all the slang terms for weird hippie Era drugs. So extacy is ok, but it it ain't on the list. I still don't know what a red or a black beauty is.

Bb is dextroamphetamine I think

Ok, Thanks, I think there was a whole list of nicknames from these stupid out of date, film strips with teenagers who were obviously from the 70's and some old reel to reel 16 mm films also from the 70's that were shown to us in first half of 1990's that warned us of the dangers of grass, black Beauties ,reds, quaaludes, angel dust or PCP, goofballs and others. It was laughable because quaaludes were banned in the 80's and were rare then and not available in the 90's and barbiturates were virtually non existent since many of us were little very little, which I think they referred to as goofballs and other terms, what is a red?

It was amusing because other than LSD and weed, everything else was nonexistent anymore and and they didn't really go over any drugs other than weed which is legal were I live now and LSD which people use, but psychedelics generally were not available but LSD, and many were stuff we hadn't heard of or could get. I went to 3 different High Schools in 3 different states, so I always hung with various outsider types, metalheads, druggies, losers, some hippy wannabes if the chicks were cute in their cliquès, other new kids, basically the people these films and film strips were aimed at. lol film strips when the modern internet was unheard of, but was in its infancy, netscape navigator.

Meanwhile, heroin had made a comeback, ecstasy, crack, cocaine, schrooms, crystal meth was probably starting to gain popularity, and other than 'grass' huh huh, weed and LSD, we had no idea of what they were talking about.

There were crack houses less than 2 miles from where I lived in a nice upper middle class area. Not Michigan at that period of my life, aka my nomadic years. I suppose if you look at from a: just say yo; I mean Just Say No perspective these school scare films were hilarious and not only that, they were actually counter productive.
In the sense that they were warning us against pills that were losing availability when we were toddlers in the later 70's and some that, PCP, I have lived outside Philly and Outside Washington DC, both for a year where PCP was and may be still available but not where I was at.

Also, I guess they have to try to warn teenagers, or at least back then. Why not actually produce some lame ass school scare films, without bellbottoms,
Luke Skywalker hair cuts, and who bought weed by the joint in the 90's? No and what is a nickel bag? I guess inflation, ruined that.

Those episodes of Cops with the big naked guys( who actually were on PCP)fighting a dozen cops or so cops, were more effective at deterring me from that than anything I saw in school. Although I would have never gone near it.

Especially the episode from the late 80's in Philly of a naked guy having a gun battle with the owner of a barber shop, who lived upstairs from his shop.
The cops arrested him eventually and no one was shot, but when the cops said we have no idea where this guys clothes are, I just lost it. WTF, is with people getting naked, and turning into the the Incredible Hulk on PCP?

The Safer Injecting Handbook has been the definitive user's guide, to reducing harm related to injecting for 20 years.

Completely re-illustrated by Michael Linnell, a fully revised and updated 8th edition was published in October 2015. This 9th edition was published in July 2017, further updated to reduce the level of warning about filters, mixing water, and spoons, which have been shown to be a much lower HCV risk than previously thought.

Giving the latest information on everything from vein collapse to hepatitis C, and cleaning used injecting equipment, to deep vein thrombosis, the handbook is essential reading for all injecting drug users, and everyone working with injecting drug users.

I sure wish we had this stuff when I first started 30 years ago. Sure would have helped me healthwise and overall to have somewhere to come and ask questions and get information from …Godspeed

I've been using threshold and slightly more than threshold amounts of crystal for years with no real drama or problems, but the last little while I don't feel them. None. For a couple months ive been dosing more than i should with no results. I recently switched from methadone to bupe but shouldn't effect my stimulant experience should it? Even today I started to nod like it was heroin. How is that possible and how do I rectify this frustrating mess? Any experiences similar with success would be very helpful.
