Why is heroin used intravenously?

[Papageorgio]

This is an unsafe way in many respects. There is another way - to inhale steam through a tube when it is heated on foil.
Why hasn't this method become mainstream?

Taking heroin is not safe to take no matter what your choice is.

Taking heroin is not safe to take no matter what your choice is.

For so many reasons.

First, no heroin dealer has a sterile lab and million dollar centrifuges.

Intravenous users have nearly ZERO idea what dosage they are administering to themselves. Or what else is in the possibly hot dose.

You know and understand as much about heroin as you do other things you post about, which is nothing at all. Tell ya what, before coming here with your weak Troll Fu, you might wanna spend some time with Google doing research on your troll subjects, so that maybe, just MAYBE, you won't look like as much of an idiot as you currently do.

And, you can overdose easier snorting heroin than you will if you inject it.

Fuck you nerd

I think that they usually take from trusted dealers. Overdoses are quite rare. They are more likely to die when dirt or grease gets into the injection solution.

That's why I stay away from as many drugs as possible, it is a dumb idea for OP to entertain any way to take heroin.

And I am saying that no such animal exists.

It is Russian roulette to take any pill or injection not administered or prescribed by a doctor.

Heroin doesn't seem to be a toxic substance

Toxic? No.

But addictive and destructive, yes.

 

[occupied]

But the price is very high. The main problem for heroin addicts is that they inject. If this is avoided, almost all problems except addiction itself disappear:
infections, gangrene, damaged veins, overdoses.
There's something wrong here

Heroin addicts fully expect to die from their addiction. They know for a fact the next shot could be their last. You don't have to understand it but that's how it is.

 

[WinterBorn]

As far as I understand, for a heroin addict there are 2 issues: saving money and intensity of first seconds. But heroin is not an expensive drug for the United States, and the intensity there is not very strong, they use it not for this.

Not expensive? For the addict it costs them everything. Family, career, health, dignity and every friend they have.

Trusted dealers?? Are you nuts?

Well, obviously you are. You think all dogs should be exterminated but you think there are trusted drug dealers.

And pretty much all heroin is "stepped on", meaning it is mixed with something to increase the profit margin. Addicts do not know how pure the heroin is, and so they do not know how much is a lethal dose.

 

[ABikerSailor]

They think. At least they try to use individual syringes. In short, they are doing something for safety

They are only doing it for their own safety, nobody else's.

Fuck you nerd

Wow................you've been trying to troll others, yet you are the one who gets their panties in a bunch. Like I said, your Troll Fu sucks ass. BTW, for your edification (look up the word if you don't know what it means), when trolling, you should be the one to appear calm and collected and make the other people lose their shit. You appear to be caught in your own trolls when you let your knickers get in a wad like you just did.

Wrong again. Heroin addicts don't really care who they get it from as long as they get it. And no, it's not the dirt or grease that causes the overdoses, it's the current trend of dealers cutting their stuff with fentanyl which is much more dangerous and leads to more overdoses. Like I said, you know as much about heroin as you do other things you post about, which is nothing at all.

Overdose is not a significant problem there, that's for sure. If there were frequent overdoses, no one would live more than a year. They inject several times a day. In some, the body digests any dose. Overdose leads to respiratory depression, but rarely die from this.

There the main problem is that injections kill veins and infections, and also in the fact that they inject non-sterile solutions

All the problems except the damage done to the lungs, which can be extensive. Breathing is kind of important.

Not all overdoses are fatal.

And the increased frequency of use increases the number of overdoses.

Some legal pills aren't good for you either, however the quality is better.

Breathing is important to most, but apparently not Rupol2000, as he appears brain dead in every post he makes.

Awww, are you getting your panties in a wad because everyone sees what an idiot you are?

Ain't that the truth.

Very true. But the dosage and risks are more well known.

You are free, for example, to forego chemotherapy and die of cancer sooner, avoiding the complications of chemo.

At least it is an informed choice.
