Opioids Storing old cottons different methods

I'm going to order a bunch of micron filters tonight, which one exactly do I need to remove most of the bacteria?
 
As everyone has mentioned, micron filters are very important, but you also want to look at preventing bacteria from forming in the first place. Do NOT immediately place them in your pill container. No enclosed spaces. Enclosed spaces retain moisture and that promotes bacteria growth. Your cottons must dry in open air (preferably open open; not in a drawer); if you have multiple cottons spread them out to maximize surface area-- the quicker they dry the better. After they're completely, absolutely bone dry, then you can put them in a drawer, but I'd still avoid tight enclosed spaces.
Also, look into getting sterile cotton. It's found in health sections and specifically labeled as 'sterile'; this ensures it's free of the natural bacterium responsible for cotton fever. It can still get contaminated with other types that will cause cotton fever; from your finger, the spoon, even the pills... so even if you get sterile cotton still follow all the other procedures.
If you do all 3 of these (micron filter, sterile cotton, ensuring they dry fast and stay dry), cotton fever becomes exceptionally rare, and you'll likely never get it again.

0.22um (micron) syringe filters, I prefer Omicron triple layer for longevity and value. Nylon, PVDF, PES even MCE will all work fine. The 0.45um filters are great but will not filter out bacteria, neither will Sterifilts but all are better than rolled cotton. You will also need a luer-Lok syringe to operate the filter (very cheap and reusable). The 3ml size is fine and leaves a little extra room for convenience. The luer-lok fitting just attaches to the filter with a tight seal so you can force the liquid through, it's nothing complicated once you see it. PM me if I can be of any more help. Glad to hear you're switching to them :)
 
If you MUST use the cottons, I suggest not injecting the solution. Once you've juiced them and got what you can out of them, stick it in that hole all people have in the basic mammalian body-plan, that is naturally intended to be, and to deal with chock-full loads of bacteria.

Take the liquid, and using a syringe (no needle obviously..owch!) stick it up your arse'ole. Morphine is my (medically prescribable type of) opioid of choice. (although I have others I prefer to morphine, they cannot be prescribed as they simply are not used in our medical system, and in several instances, nowhere that I know of). I tend to save a little backup over time, by, when preparing a shot, when the air is displaced from the syringe, and a little liquid squirts up, holding a piece of clean tissue paper above it, and then carrying on and giving it a little squirt, save maybe 10-15mg per shot perhaps 20, which isn't much if doing several hundred milligram shots, in the sense of it won't detract from the enjoyment of the dose taken at the time, but assume we lowball it to 10mg/shot then 10 shots=100mg morphine and 100 shots=a gram of morphine to be recovered, dried, and processed with.....various things ...to give....various things that can come from morphine but which no doctor prescribes and wouldn't give you if they could.
 
cotton shots and the shit leftover from a shot

hi,

So this is I know the answer to one of these, yes you can and I have gotten a buzz (or saved me from opiate withdrawal hell)

So there are goodies leftover in the cottons (so i save them) but what about the crusty stuff that doesnt pull up in the rig.
it dissolves but didn't go in through the cotton. I use water bottle caps to mix my dope and the caps are all crusted w this stuff.
also there was some brown color in the otherwise white leftovers so I sucked up the brown and it got my legs back under me surprisingly,
(i was sweating for no reason, stomach hurting the beginning of the fun of kicking dope.
I'm probably gonna try anyway as i havent had any bad reactions yet.


Just wondering what you guys think and maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in and tell me how do it better or something.

Thanks

Cotton shots have rocked me pretty hard before especially Coke Cottons. Just make sure you sure then in an open dry place. Don't put them in something enclosed, that's when the bacteria forms and you end up with cotton fever.
 
From a harm reduction perspective, this is very dangerous due to possible infection and thrombosis. You don't get much more than a placebo effect and risk your health. If you have to store them (for a no-dope-available emergency), use them only orally as "tea" or whatever...
 
If you have to use them, as said, stick the liquid up your arse. Only way it'll do owt, given morphine, H etc. have terrible oral bioavailability.
 
^H has a fine oral BA% with higher doses it’s pretty much the same as oxy

Savunh cottons is kind of pointless, and shooting cottons = reckless, with an R( because we should all spell correctly, when possible

You get nothing from a cotton shot, really you should just forget about it/Seriously people, come on
 
Your arse is probably full of cottons Mr. Chicken (why would you store your cottons up your arse, anyway?).

A 2008 study of effects on predosing and relative junkiness:

The maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of morphine was twofold higher after oral diacetylmorphine than after morphine administration in both groups. However, morphine bioavailability was considerably higher in chronic users [diacetylmorphine 45.6% (95% confidence interval 40.0, 51.3), morphine 37.2% (30.1, 44.3)] than in naive subjects [diacetylmorphine 22.9% (16.4, 29.4), morphine 23.9% (16.5, 31.2)] after low oral doses (48.5 micromol) of either diacetylmorphine or morphine. Morphine clearance was similar in both groups. Moreover, oral absorption of morphine from diacetylmorphine was found to be dose dependent, with bioavailability reaching 64.2% (55.3, 73.1) for high diacetylmorphine doses (1601 micromol).


But lately I've determined that oral bioavailability (and IN, SL, UA?C [Up Arse, with and/or without cotton] and six others I saw in an FDA monograph) are unhelpful. Should be either Zero/Low, Decent, or Good.

It's from your Peoples at the British J Clin Pharm, open-access like the once-great socialist Empire would.

In my opinion there is that little morphine in the chalk that is left over that it isn't worth mixing up for a shot unless you had atleast a gram of it, and in the case you did it still wouldn't be worth it with the amount of water you would need to use, but if someone else has any info I'm missing out on please chime in
 
You can find bits of dried drug crusted all over the place even when careful; but it'll be just poison in your veins, dust and cat hair and cooties. It won't do anything for you unless you've made major losses on your tolerance. I do save those crumbs for rainy, many-days sober, occasions.


But then I splash my stuff all over the place, it isn't an opioid, much more potent in naive users.
 
Lol I most certainly don't store them in my arse. The intent behind the 'stuff it up your ass' was the solution left after pounding them under a portion of water in a mortar and pestle etc, to press any (and there will be SOME, just not much, left in a given filter, they do remain wet with the drug solution when drawing up (bearing in mind I tend to use 5ml barrels and leave just enough additional H2O in there to allow the shot being prepared not to turn into a solid mass on the exterior of the rollup filter, and like scrofula says, thats most of all what they are good for, I.e when one has a LOT of them, for a single emergency dose.

And the point behind plugging, never IVing the result is that up one's arse is naturally a region of the body with both mucous membrane galore for absorption, and being what arses are for, there is already a substantial barrier against bacterial organisms. It does have to deal with dropping turds, afterall, so it can't afford to be supersensitive to bacteria up there.
 
Yeah, I must apologize, I realized that after actually reading some posts.

It's also the best way to handle the bits and crumbs after a meth session, because that stuff is too nasty for your nose, too. Gather it up, add clean water, if there's a lot even filter it, pull it up in a no-needle syringe, and gently irrigate your rectal foyer.

I don't knock plugging at all, done it many times, it's just mandatory that I make never-ending jokes about it. It's actually in my mod performance annual review as a quantitative goal--18.5% of commented threads must contain at least one post solely devoted to euphemisms for digital rectal inclusions and lavage. I'm only just "Meeting Expectations".
 
It?s insoluble particulate

And gen following every procedure, injecting cotton extraction is kinda crazy, just a risk for no practical award. Sorry, it is- a bunch of cottons somehow extracted and used rectally would be safer, well almost anything else, really is preferable. Just tossing that in there, know what it? Like to be dopesick, that doesn?t change what is what
 
Another tactic I use, is to either (or both) (I'm talking here about the capsule XR form of morphine that has multiple tiny microspheres ), save a small amount of them in the capsule before preparing any extraction, for later) and when one is prepared, squirting a modest amount out of the rig, such as when expelling air, onto absorbent paper held above. Over time, it builds up and eventually there is a respectable amount such as can be extracted by pressing with water and plugged for an additional dose. The amount being removed each time being such as to make no difference when its taken.
