well, technically it's HIV that you can get along with Hep C. Not to be a corrective bitch, but you don't get full blown aids right away.
i'm assuming you want points rather than like piercing needles or something, considering this is a "drug" forum, but next time try the opiates forum in the psychedelics section....i know, they aren't psychedelic, but whatever. i mean, this thread is misplaced and at least there you may find a slightly more tolerant audience. at any rate, i've never shot dope so i don't know firsthand, but my best friend is an ex user, his former girlfriend was way worse then him (they're both clean now) and another few acquaintances of mine struggle with it. it's a terrible drug, but if you're looking into buying needles i suppose you probably already have done it. if not, and you're still bent on trying it, at least smoke or snort it or something. it may still lead to needles, but if you end up a junky its better at least to not have been shooting it the whole time. at any rate, if you can't get proper needles like the doctor uses or something, i believe in most places you can get insulin needles over the counter in pharmacies. a lot of places don't HAVE to let you buy something just because they stock it and its legal, so don't go in looking like a dope banger. look like your average joseph h. diabetes, and know of some various questions to ask and things to say that may lead people to believe you know what you're doing and not a criminal. some places may have clean needle exchanges. find out if your location does, its the best option. NEVER EVER EVER under ANY circumstances share needles with ANYBODY. its a habit that's sure to kill you quickly if you get into it. again, the things i've seen happen, the things people do for dope, the things that happen to people on dope, the things people do to themselves, the assholes they can become, the sad, sorry junkies full of pain and regret, none of it is worth it. when you do get clean, most people still aren't that good off. it takes something very important but intangable from you...and people around you notice. if you are just wanting to try please take my advice and avoid it at all costs. i could tell you so many stories of people almost dying, almost being caught, actually being caught, people overdosing, people going in and out of rehab, people doing terrible things to get their fix....but it's all the same "propaganda" that you've heard before i'm sure. so much shit has happened in my neck of the woods, and all within about the last year....a very depressing underworld hidden from the average citizen. heroins just a big mess of sadness.... so if you're thinking of trying, good luck (you'll need it) and goodbye (just in case) if you're already using, try to find the strength to beat it. if i were religious i'd pray for junkies above almost anyone else.
While one can easily get HIV from infected blood via injection, it does not seem to qualify as an STD in this case because it did not come from sex.
and never use the needle more than once...the actuall needle part of the syringe dulls somthing like 200% of the original sharpness once it has been used 1 time
i didn't know that, but it would help explain a lot of the nasty bruises you see. though i'd doubt it dulls it THAT much from one use....but still never reuse your cottons either.
I agree with the dude on the last page, If you cannot find a way to get needles then I dont think you should be doing any drugs that are gonna be injected.
it is that much trust me, i know ppl who use them for steroids, and they will not even look at them once they have used em once
Uhhh.... yes ONE can, sharing of body fluids is considered sexual contact (i.e. shared needle), but don't take my word for it, shoot up with some sickly lookin guy and tell me ya didn't get an STD.
"Cus thats a word" I was trying to think of the verb for combust. I dunno, heh. And Bill, THC becomes psychotic only after combusting! Thats why eating plant material or honey oil (butane extraction) does not physically do anything! Brownies are baked, THC reaches its burning point and because it is fat soluble, it is absorbed by the lipids in the mix. theo
when you make hash oil you heat the weed up first. this would be the same as baking brownies and letting them cool. they both work.
yeah, i was gonna comment on that. and lots of states have needle exchange programs. bring in the old ones, get new ones. and condoms!
