Using eye drops in lieu of bacteriostatic water for intravenous methamphetamine-

[soccerfocus05]

I know bac. water is easy-ish to come by from my AAS use, but since these days I resort to shooting meth to help me resist the urge to become an immediate organ donor I'm not really in a financial or psychological state to order vials, bac water etc .... At first i boiled water tirelelesssly in a pre-sterilized steamer, i've gotten lax enough now to go straight from the tap (even reusing rigs, after a bleach rinsing)-
Lucky or smart (that cant be the right adjective for this scenario), havent had any complications or even missed shots-
Read that n countries where the war on drugs is less militant and more focused on harm reduction it is common to purchase sterile saline solution along w/ clean syringes, alcohol pads, etc and that these sterile ampoules (plastic, not glass, but single servng from what i gather) are no different than sterile eye drops---
Hopefully some shards will find me tomorrow, so my pathetic mind is already preparing for their arrival- live in a otc syringe sale state (very progressive) and happened to come across "30 1 USE vials"
but @ 18$ and latest paycheck "in processing"aka waiting to cash until it won't bounce (my boss is a good guy, but worse than me in matters of finance). plus, sonymdjr10 headphone on sale for 6$ (my current pair are louder on the right, drives me insane-er)
Settled for sterile eye drops- labelled sterile, active ingredient is Tetrahydrozoline HCL, w/ Benzalkonium-Cl, H3BO3, ededate Na2, NaCl, and ..Borax (+some water)
I assume its pH neutral (Borax is a buffering agent)
Preferable to tap water? Experiences?
Also, whats the BL consensus on how long its ok to have a shot of meth prepared (in syringe) prior to use before rubber degradation etc become a significant problem?

Moderator Note: No prices or specific sources - even for HR supplies. Thanks.

I'm an idiot, as soon as i posted i remembered Tetrahydrozoline is an alpha agonist which cant be a good idea with meth, any side reactions notwithstanding

Are there any "eye drops" that serve well as bac water?

That shit will make you so so so so sick, eyedrops have been used as poisons to make teachers/bar patrons really really ill.

Cold tap water is definitely preferable.

 

[thesameoldfears]

Yeah I wouldn't use that. You want something without all those extra ingredients, just the essential ones ie benzyl alcohol and/or NaCl

some pharmacies sell saline solutions which is just nacl and water. I believe 0.9% solution? other than that, tap water worked for my IV heroin habit for the years I was on the shit.

can a mod please move this to other drugs.

why dont you use tap water dude?? seriously if you are good at shooting up take your rig and clear to a bathroom, draw up some 2wter from the SINK and go for it..

idk why yo through all the time and effort for getting eye drops when you can get water for free.

here is another though:
try going to a fast food place liike McDonalds and ask for a water. it will be free lol. dont drink from it. whan you get home draw up the water and go for it

if water is not available in yor country you can always boil the water, then let sit until it gets room temp. there yuhave sterile water!!!

^ Really? Mcdonalds sells the water where I live. It's bottled so I don't see how it would be free.

 

[DynoSpec]

^They usually give out cups of tap water for free, if you ask

Since the eyedrops are ruled out for ya, ill say that you should really not leave a shot in a syringe, even if its all sterile i dont think its a great idea. Its best to prepare as you need unless you take the time to prepare a solution with multiple doses in a sterile sealed container with a membrane topper, with the water youre having trouble getting. why risk it right

 

[soccerfocus05]

Yeah, don't mistake, I seriously contemplated using dr pepper last week... Just hate being sketchy if I prep a shot out and about, drawing from tap seems like a hassle compared to just having little ampoules

 

[DynoSpec]

then get ampoules. be discreet if you need a shot in public and you can easily do it without being seen.

 

[laCster]

lol wtf dr pepper? ahahahahahaha

if you live near a needle-exchange clinic, go there and get ampules of sterile water
