I don't think the OP is coming back to this forum, having gotten his question answered and so forth. But if he does, I hope he reads all the remaining answers and, of course, also mine.

I have almost the same background as him, and then not really. I too began using narcotics in a young age. I began smoking weed when I was 13 and began smoking heroin daily when I was 15. I too was and am very fascinated with drugs, and I too had that "I've made my decision, and I want drugs in my life" mentality, but the fact is, it's not the hydromorphone you want, it's what the hydromorphine does for you, in other words the rush it gives. And quite understandably. But if you keep using it, the rush will disappear as already stated in this thread, and it will no longer function as a pleasant narcotic, but as a means to relieving withdrawal. You may not be addicted physically yet (or you may be), but I think the hydromorphine is already being used by you to relieve something; maybe not withdrawal but then pain/dispair.

And if you still insist on using it recreationally and want a life of drugs, consider the fact that you can't do drugs if you are dead. And I guarantee you, you'll be dead before your 25th birthday if you keep this up, especially the route of administration you are using.

Yeah, hopefully it IS just a phase. There really is no way to determine who will fall into the perils of chronic addiction but unfortunately the most reliable indicator available is age of initiation... the younger someone starts using, the younger someone gets into hard drugs, the younger someone picks up a needle, the more likely it is that they'll experience the most severe problems associated with addiction down the line.
 
I'm sixteen years old and reside in California. I use hydromorphone recreationally via IV. It is hard for me to acquire new needles as I am under age and there is no NEP in my town. I can't drive anywhere either. SO I've been using the same needle for 30 injections, occasionally sharpening it and cleaning it. And to make matters worse, I'm awful at shooting, it can take me 5 pokes before i get a vein.

It might not be your technique, it might just take 5 pokes because of how dull your rig is. I used to live in new jersey so regardless of age there is no access to clean needles period. No exchange, no purchase without prescription, etc. I was shooting mad coke and would use a rig sometimes for way more than 30 shots, and it gets extremely hard to puncture a vein the more dull your rig gets. If its sharp it should slide right into the vein, but if it's dull then your vein just rolls out of the way, it takes a different technique when using a dull rig.
 
The internet is a great tool, use it. It's not hard to find a site to order needles from even if you live in a state that requires a script or you're underaged.

What are you talking about? There are four exchanges in Jersey. And New York and Pennsylvania both will sell you syringes without a prescription, which aren't very far away. There are also places online you can order boxes of rigs for dirt cheap.

In my opinion there aren't many good excuses for not having clean rigs. If you are a full time junky and can afford to buy dope every day, than you should be able to drop 12 bucks on a box of 100 rigs on-line.
 
This thread should be locked seeing the op can buy the syringes otc. I live in your state and I have bought syringes there when I was under age. I am 18 now and I look younger and they never ask for an ID. If you get denied just try another pharmacy it should not take you more then 2-3 tries you will probobly get them on your first. BrokenDownPalace I think caseface mean's a while back when he lived in New Jersy.
 
get them off the internet.. but when i was 16 i got them off my girls friend who was diabetic. soo.. also,If you know any diabetics im sure they will share if you share with them ;)
 
-Get somebody to get them for you.
-Get them off the Internet.
-Do both, seriously.

Don't complain that people gave you harm reduction advice on a harm reduction forum. Please stop using the same needle over and over again, eventually you will have to face the consequences, and they probably won't be pretty. Take the other posters' advice on here man, we're not trying to bust your balls. Take care of yourself. :)
 
Cali is a very wierd state, A lot of liberals( good for rigs) a lot of conservatives (bad for rigs) if you are in San Diego, Family Health Centers will tell you where there at, I dont want to put the exact street. If you are in LA, Ventura, SB, basically the counties that are on the coast, You can buy them legally from pharmacies (the law did exopire on the first, hopefully Jerry resigns it), If they card, pay $5 for a bumb to do it, jusat donbt leave his side, he is your "Dad"
Walmart usually dont give a shit, Longs used to be good too, but they're gone.

Now my .02 on the subject. And I know everyone has said it already. Stop now. I am 30 years old, and I got nothing to show for it. I am looking at jail time right now. Took me years to get off the shit and the only way was jail time. It will fuck your life. Charlie Parker (great Jazz man) died at 30, said he had a body of a 70 year old. This drug will send you only to 2 places, 6 ft. or Donovan State Prison and than 6 ft.

But I was 16 once. Hopefully you live in a LA or something. Also if you can TJ, you can buy needles legally with some distilled water, cotton and aqlcohol, I am not going to say too much on TJ, I already fucked up on another post I think.

Just remember, you will think you have it under control, but just wait, I know people straight people sucking dick at Balboa PArk at night for there fix.
