A guy saw my post about fucking shits way the fuck up her took the time to video call me and teach me and he's also sending my harm reduction supplies and needs I feel so blessed
Oral? Or is it worth chasing on foil or IV?
It's expended release
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my precious
I normally smoke my tar. How do I go about slamming it? Dosage? What do I mix it with?
Was finally able to get back into this account smdh. It's looking like a pretty spun weekend ngl 🌟
Should I want to do an ice shot after coke?
So I've been slamming Dilaudid (12 8mg pills a day) for several months and the last week or so it's been making me super sick which has never been an issue before, Like yesterday I shot up and immediately projectile vomited. And today I feel worse than I have in a long time I feel sort of like I have the flu.
Has anyone experienced this?
Not a miss. 100% in the vein. Burned like hell but worked and then blew up like this. That was last night, this morning it's bigger and blacker with these blisters what the fuck. I've never seen anything like this it hurts so much. What the fuck is in this shit. I have to work all weekend and have no one to cover for me.
Got 4mg hydromorphone in here happy happy night!
Hey, so I’ve been scanning the market for the best place to buy those sharp things we use so frequently. For about 3 years now I have been getting them from my diabetic friend who had oodles of them, but he passed away last week. So needless to say; he’s not giving them out anymore. I’m nowhere close to being out of clean ones, but all it takes is one bad day of not being able to hit and I’ll run through 2 bags in an hour.
I actually did some research on this sub and Amazon is one of the obvious options. But I’ve also seen people recommend ExchangeSupply and a few other healthcare-based sites. All seemingly have about the same price for what I’d like to buy. I’m really interested in Exchange Supply though. It’s a UK based website that “ships worldwide” and is basically a paid online needle-exchange, which is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life.
If someone could recommend some spots it would be real cool! Thanks guys.
About .2 meth shot yum 😍
Been at since 14yr old. & 49 now. With couple stretches of clean time but not whole lot. Heron for 10+Yr, meth 20+, coke10+. So not a noob. Neither is my SO. HE'S 53,& been at it just a long. Now i am about 3yrs back it active after 10 yrs clean but its about like riding a bike. I was a bit rusty and had to relearn to a certain point and be reminded of certain aspects of course. But it's come back right? Just painting a picture is all. Cool? My SO and I have been at it for so long unfortunately we often struggle to find a vein and hit. My issue is I just don't often have the steady enough hand that I use to have most days. However, my SO's issue is quite different, IMO.He My SO is steady hand jack and patient af. His issue imo is that when he's firing he will allow and leave a 30+ unit air bubble in the barrel. The issue isn't the whole "OMG AN AIR BUBBLE"! As i see it the issue is that when he's firing and leaving that much air in the barrel(and not removing it between sticks) he's lost the suction that you need to get a clean register. After all is said and done. His blood bump is so full of blood he clogs like crazy and often gives up. He gets so much blood in there b/c he can't tell if barrel is filling. In my mind the barrell isn't filling like it should b/c of the loss of suction, and of course, because we just don't have the blood pressure we use to have in our arms. Does anybody follow me and agree or follow my train of thought? Or IF u disagree, how am i off or have any feedback or suggestions I could pass his way? Or if anybody agrees how might I explain that concept to him? Tia
I need help. Im sick of missin!!! Why are veins dumping it all back out after I hit. I can register like 4 or 5 times and sometimes it's still like a miss? very rarely happened back in the day when I was fairly new to it, cuz I tied off too tight! Help me.
I have high disso toleeeance and i also use clear daily . Booted 30mgs of k last night and at first very enjoyable but when I came out the hole phew it wasnt and quickly glt worse .I noticed I was sweating profusely like dripping sweat from my whole body my window was wide open and everything, felt like something siting on my chest, could only take medium sized breathes, I started freaking out a bit like fuck do I need to tell someone to take me to er. Didn't really feel like outing me and explaining all, so I tell myslef I'm cool it's only been 30 mins since dose,that I'll wait another 30min and ifnim still feeling like this then I'll go I layed down in my bed to do some controlled breathing and meditate but ended up passing out and thankfully fucking opened my eyes this morning. Thats been the only time I've ever felt like i was dieing, and wasn't gonna be okay , I was dead ass scared for my life.
Wanted to note the k dose had been about 11 hours after clear iv, and about 5 hours after spun a bowl. I've done these two together before and with higher doses of k but last night, that 30mgs scarred me.
Can anyonenexplain what was happenimg on a more scientific level? Like what was going?How close was i last night in terms of harming self and doing like any long term or short term for the matter,damage?
Iv k ...fuuck be careful lol
Where it came from? I see no positive from using such small sizes, only maybe expect if you're injecting in your hand or finger veins.
But there are many downsides.
The flow of water is much slower (with 27g, 0,4mm it's already hella slow) making the process of injecting much longer, weakening the rush and increasing risk moving or falling of. Kinda forcing user to use really small amount of water making the solution more irritating.
Risk of clogging (i have never ever had my needle clogged, and it's also a pooular issue on this subreddit)
Higher risk of bending or breaking the needle.
I was told It's worse for inside of your veins cause of stronger pressure that is focused on single point.
Trackmarks are not less visible.
Can anyone tell? It's because you just can't have access for anything better? With all the online shipping that's available nowadays?
I've done probably between 1500-2000 injections by myself, using mostly 0,45mm(26g), but honestly anything from 0,4mm(27g) to 0,6mm(23g) (few times 0,8mm(21g) Mostly in arms, but also groin and under the calf. I have just a few veins that i don't use anymore, cause they're to much covered in scar tissue, but still preserved enough of healthy ones in my arms. And now when I'm not daily user anymore and they healed i look just fine.
And i can admit to reusing old ones, which also got me thinking that wider sizes can stay sharp for longer and dull less easily (probably, never used )
I'm just concerned and confused.
I was using 21g inch needles destroyed my arms but I could hit. I’m trying the classic 31g 5/16 and I can get just a tiny register and then I completely miss. Can someone coach me on wtf I’m doing wrong
Edit title is supposed to say I can’t fucking hit at all and I need some help please
Recently my husband had a needle break off in his arm (yeah I'm that person lmao) so ever since then we've been 100% off the needle. But idk how much longer I can take it. I keep freaking out on everyone around me and the anxiety is just eating me alive. I'm trying to stay away from the needles for my husband. I'm just trying to reinforce that he doesn't need it..... But honestly & so secretly idk if I can do this... We have 200 clean boxed rigs sitting in our closet. Constantly tempting me. I don't think I'll be lasting much longer on this "strike". Any tips for anger, stress, anxiety about quitting would be super helpful. Im barely hanging on 🫠🫠
These were so great, talked about them the other day, thought I'd share an picture. They are much harder than the blues but I love them, break down real nice and can shoot them 🥰
So, I had been sober for about a decade, and life is what it is. I’ve been using methamphetamine for a few months again now. On one hand, “this time” is far less the nightmare that the last time was. I commit to eating and sleeping. I got to work, pay my bills, and buy groceries. On the other hand, I’m really surprised that my tolerance has quickly gone up. To get the feeling I’m going for, my rig needs to be loaded with half a gram minimum. Admittedly, the feeling I’m going for is one in which I can’t remember the alphabet or what zip code I’m in, and perhaps I should be content with less, but we all like what we like.
I’m thinking about harm reduction, of course. I’d like to get some views from this community regarding better practice. I’ve considered using a larger rig. For example, I have some 25 g 3ml rigs, and my rationale is that I could increase the product and the water I use to dissolve it, so I’m not wrecking my veins with all that syrup. I’ve considered boofing, but my experiences with it have always been less stellar: it seems the better part of it winds up running down my leg. I’ve heard people talk about taking a tolerance break, which I imagine would also be good for my bruise-prone arms. Is there a protocol for this? Anyway, some feedback would be helpful. Thank you!
I love hydromorphone these 8mg the rush and tingles from ur toes and finger tips
i have met one of the best people on this app and i have to say not only is he informative and willing to teach you whatever it is you have questions about, he is one of the most genuine and generous human beings i have ever met, no questions ask and never asks for anything in return, gifted some of the best tina i have ever done and i appreciate him more than anything! the conversation is meaningful and definitely on the same wavelength about so many different things and topics! he is the best and i hope everyone finds a person that you just click with!
I'm wondering if my veins can start leaking? Like could some of the dope leak out of another recently made hole in the vien further up? I feel like I feel the shot better when it's in an entirely different vein, even if I'm shooting in multiple spots up and down the vein.
Feeling like a ball of cotton right now😆
