Just another post for IV coke users!

So I’ve made a couple of these posts. I am clean currently but totally obsessed about IV coke can never quite get it out of my head.

Just looking for other regular IV coke users experiences.

What’s your dose ?

What’s your bellringer dose?

How much do you use per binge?

How long have you been doing it?

Share some scary experiences?

how much ice fits backloaded into a syringe

Hey everyone I haven't done shot in a while thank god I hope it can stay that way but I was talking to someone the other day about my use and i realized I have no idea how much I was using. I would always backload my rig( I know very stupid) so I never measured my doses. all this to my question if I was loading very finely crushed meth to the 0.3 ml line in the syringe about how much meth would that me?

Adding sugar for better amph.

Of and on sellers have been claiming the amphetamine they have is ”to pure”, and therefore need to be cut with sugar (dextro) in order to hit when slamming.

I have always seen this as bullshit. What is this community’s take on the matter?

Crazy bellringer loss of body coordination psychosis. Caught red handed. (personal life involved) -feat.mom/shadow mom

As I am typing this story I am unsure whether the consequential event of this story happened or not. I’ll give context and then into the story.

I moved back in with my mom after living 18 months in a city about 5 hours drive away, my younger brother lives here as well, I’m a 21yo male, lil bro is a few years younger. I’m grateful too that my father is very involved in our lives and he and my mom are friends on very stable terms. My dad lives a relatively short drive away from my mom, the area we live in is awesome, but that’s not relevant. In fact a lot of these details are not relevant and my state of coke psychosis is making me hella paranoid that someone I know might read this post and question if it’s me. Then I remember that nobody I know also blasts drugs in their veins 😭😭 okay onto the story!

I originally left my home city to go to treatment, I was on the fent with benzos in it and I was planning how to off myself, getting arrested and released a couple times, living in shelters cuz nobody wanted near me. I asked to go to treatment and I was ready at the time to be open to a new way to live.

(Real time update: still no evidence of the event, I sent a prayer to God asking if it was just Him messing with me telling me to clean my act up).

Okay I’m gonna speed up the story cuz I tend to get sidetracked.

I relapsed on meth, not a drug I regularly did, only did it about 3 times or so in the past. I had a struggle with my new halfway house and I was really not enthusiastic to live there or any halfway house for that matter. I had the opportunity to go back home and give it a go here.

Well same day I got home, for some reason I have yet to answer my IPhone chimed and revealed a message that was sent 2 days earlier, it was my plug on a new phone. Since I was in town my IPhone thought it would be very important to connect me with other people in town. I got a job and a welfare cheque pretty fast and started working 6-7 days a week.

Fast forward a couple of months later to today, I’ve been banging coke and fent all week, I’ve done around a half ball of soft a day. I’ve been lying and acting different and my sleep is near nothing. I’ve brought the tools to fuel my dirty, ugly, degenerate, drug addiction, and weeks ago I didn’t dispose of my rigs discreetly, I made up a story and she believed it but now she was onto me. Today my mom knew I’m using something and she found a cooker searching my room while I was gone.

She asked me to piss in a cup and I came clean to her. We agreed to figure out a plan of action tomorrow… we both said we love each other and had a big hug.

THIS IS THE PART IM NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENED OR NOT-

So after she goes to bed and lights off, and earlier I just picked up an eight ball of this unmolested, S tier, pure gas hazmat suit levels of potent, scaley goodness, and 2.5g of fent rocks, and I had slept good the night before and I was ready to go. As per usual I start slamming bellringers until 6:30am, I haven’t been weighing the shots but they have gotten progressively stronger all night. This shot was probably 250-300mg (I hope it wasn’t) straight to the brain, this shot will probably be the cause a heart attack when I’m 45. Mind you I’m in psychosis no doubt, I checked my moms door down the hallway right before I stuck it in, registered, and plunged it all at once, I taste the straight 97 octane gasoline on my tongue, and seconds later the first tingle and cold flash I get, I know I’m about to be ducking LOSING my mind.

ALL OF A SUDDEN my mom comes around the corner in her housecoat and she sees the rig in my hand as I desperately try to hide it from her.

I’m so done I think to myself. Meanwhile this shot has me hallucinating like it’s DMT or something, the room is spinning and the ringing in my ears is the loudest sound I’ve ever heard in my life, and I can clearly hear my mom saying something along the lines of “what the fuck my name” at this point i feel like a puddle of water, my limbs are shaking like I have parkinsons, and I reply back “stellar timing, God just wanted you to catch me like this.” I look like a dog that got hit by a truck, twitching and my eyes open starting at the ceiling, there’s a symphony of indescribable noises and my cats come in the room and are staring at me.

I hear my mom talking to me by the foot of my bed now. The hallway to my bedroom where she just was is facing the side of my bed- and she’s no longer in the hallway.

I get up and turn to face her, but there’s nobody there besides my cats, and she’s still calling out to me, now I hear her behind me by the wall that my bed is up against,

I turn to look and now she’s talking at the foot of my bed again. Out loud I just go “what the duck. Is anyone here?” And my mom has stopped talking, I dont see her anywhere.

2 minutes later I gain some balance back and I go look at my moms room, her bedroom door is cracked open the same amount that it was earlier. (She leaves it open for the cats) There is no light on in her room, I walk over and peek in, I can just barely see where she sleeps and I see that she is in bed, under the blankets and no housecoat.

I know my mom, she would not go back to sleep after seeing me like that. In fact she wouldn’t just stand there if she saw me like I was, she probably would have called an ambulance. As the minutes pass by I’m beginning to think that she never caught me.

She was so clearly there, I was sure of it. My mom was in front of me and caught me with the rig in my arm. I experienced how real these psychotic hallucinations and delusions are before, but I didn’t think it could be this real…

I’ll update when I get proof of whether or not she caught me. Thanks for reading if you made it this far. ❤️🤟

EDIT- She was not actually there, it was all in my head…

DIY vials for easy loading 🤞

I found a pack of 8 glass containers at the dollar store for like $1 in the art section. I threw a filter from the safe supply cookers I can get for free in my province. The filters fit perfectly I needed the filter in there because the rigs I have dont reach the bottom, plus that way I dont bend the needle tips and it soaks up nicely.

I didn’t show it here but I usually just load up 3ml worth of coke, so either 150-300mg so I can get 50-100 per shot. Then I add sterile water, put the lid on tight and shake. My coke isn’t cut at all so it just dissolves immediately, I love my plug.

In this picture I loaded up my powder as usual, then I cooked up some fent and pulled it into a syringe, then added it to the vial. Now I got speedballs on dial!

IV ketamine

Anybody tried slamming ketamine. Wierdest experience of my life exept salvia. I wasn’t even sure i speaked my own launguage, got to check if they understood me i sure didn’t it was just jibberish in my ears, but they did. The trip was wild as fuck and i loved it. But the after effects, the nauseua and the lacking effect of stimulants is enough to make me not do it again. I would like to hear your guys experiences with iv’ing ketamine sure there is alot of crazy stories out there

Numbing Creams

I absolutely hate needles, but I do like to slam. Go figure. I can never hit myself bc I cry and whine and always prefer someone else hitting me. The hardest part for me is to push the rig through the skin and hopefully hit the vein quickly. I always seem to take my sweet time, which I hate.

Anyone have any experience with the tattoo numbing creams? I'm thinking it will only help numb the outer skin. Has anyone tried numbing creams to help them be able to register?

For those running out of veins or needing a little boost in the form of a helping hand (not an advertisement or product placement or sponsor)

No product name cause I don't wanna think I'm selling stuff of sponsoring it or something

So for those who are running out of veins, poor eye sight, need a little helping hand in hitting a Vein. This is a potential answer. I am running low on viable veins so I've had to turn to less favorable locations where veins are very small. Hard to see. Etc. I got this as a tool to help with my projects I work on but since Ive got it, everytime I've gone for a Vein. I've hit it. So it is an adjustable arm that attachesto your desk or night stand what ever. the head is fully rotatable and has a 20x zoom. It also has 5 different light modes. The zoom really helps me locate veins and hit them accurately and the 5 light modes have been invaluable as with different range of light at different angels has made it so much easier to pin point them especially after heating up the area. (usually by rubbing my palms together vigorously) it does cost about 30$ but if youvegot it, and are struggle for veins. I highly recommend it. Got it on Amazon

Again no product name as I'm not selling or sponsoring this. And there is a bunch of different ones you could get so you make the best choice for your situation. OK thank you for listening. Everyone please stay safe, check your product best you can, be sterile , be safe

Getting better or worse

I promise not trying to sound stupid any other time in life younger id go. I’m traveling rn. From missed shots of coke. Obviously not shooting anymore. It hurts so so bad last night to move my arm since it’s in the crook. Iced it overnight & went from just purple & now to this yellow around it. But is that on the way to healing? I have 0 fever & 0 discomfort outside the pain of my arm. Should I do more compresses, maybe heat, cold? Or is this way past & go in? Sorry lookin g for insight on others opinion as it’s been years since I dealt with these issues and out of the country so would love to know! Thank you!

Injected month old blood- what should I do, how fucked am I?

Registered a shot but couldn’t hit and decided to empty it into a 2ml centrifuge container to use whenever I ran out of my supply, either to boof or boil off and smoke in a pipe. It’s been 3-4 weeks and I ran out of a couple days ago. Wasn’t even sure about boofing old blood just sitting in a container for a few weeks, would’ve done some research beforehand. But after taking 6mg of Xanax today I ended up filtering the blood through some 70% isopropyl soaked balls of cotton, and repeated a couple of times. Had added 25 units of water with all the residual powder of ice I could collect so the blood was slightly diluted and stronger to some degree. Added a couple units of isopropyl to the syringe and stupidly slammed it.

I’m extremely cautious when it comes to iv admin, I can’t believe I did that even barred out. I rubbed in triple antibiotic ointment beforehand, prepped with an alcohol pad, put a bandaid with a little bacitracin zinc added to it, slight pressure for a couple of minutes, and then took bandaid off 10+ min later, wiped the area with a piercing aftercare cleanser and am in a dry circulated room. Been 2 and a half hours since, no iv site reaction at all (very rare for me) and feel fine/no signs of problems. Took a bunch of vit c and zinc, folate, multivitamin, and NAC , as the only precaution I could really do by myself. I asked ChatGPT how much risk I’m in and how likely am I to be ok, and it basically told me I was fucked. I’d like to hear from people in here though who have actually done shit like this, know of or have experience with doing what I just did.

Am I in critical danger? Could I end up being fine? Or is that highly unlikely. No one knows I’m an iv user and I’ve never had any complications or infections before. If I feel completely fine should I still seek medical attention? Are there places I can go where I can do this discreetly? I’d rather avoid it at all if I can, but if there’s a high chance I get sepsis or endocarditis/something serious, I’d like to get medical attention tomorrow so I can prevent/get early treatment and avoid serious complications
