Heroin
Being on heroin is exactly the same (expect more powerful) as being on pain pills like Vicodin, Percodan, MS-Contin, etc. It gives a pleasant feeling of well-being just like being high on pain pills: warm, drowsy, a tiny bit itchy. The only way to get anywhere near one's money's worth is to shoot it (unless one comes across snortable stuff like China White, almost-pure powder heroin).
What is a good dosage of heroin for a beginner to start with?:
Purity of street drugs can vary so much that it would be dangerous to give an estimate. The first time the user tries it he or she should start out with a tiny bit and go up from there until the user gets an idea of what a good dose is. It's a good idea to always inject half of the dose and wait a minute (leaving the needle in) to see how it feels and then inject the rest.
Injecting Heroin:
This information is only for people who are mature enough to respect the dangers involved with injecting heroin. These dangers include physical and mental addiction and the possibility of contracting a terrible disease like AIDS or hepatitis if the user doesn't take the time to be as sanitary as possible and NOT SHARE NEEDLES.
Items needed:
-Alcohol swabs are available in a box of abbout 100 for at Wal-mart.
-A commonly used syringe is the U-100. It iis 1CC which is divided into 100 "units".
-The bottom of a soda pop can is commonly uused as a "spoon" to dissolve the heroin in because it is curved inward like a spoon. The bottom is torn off of a can as close to the bottom as possible.
Procedure:
The "spoon" is thoroughly cleaned with an alcohol swab. In this example black tar heroin is used. In my area a chunk is about the size of 2 tic-tac candies side-by-side and works just fine. It has no smell exept for a faint smell of vinegar. It comes wrapped in plastic inside a tiny balloon. A chunk is placed in the spoon. The syringe is used to suck up about 50-75 units of water and squirt it into the spoon. The spoon is then heated from the bottom with a lighter to make it dissolve better. The plunger can be pulled out of the syringe and used to stir the heroin solution. The end of the plunger should be clean before putting it back in the syringe. A piece of cotton is rolled into a ball a little bigger than a tic-tac. It is a good idea to clean one's fingers with an alcohol swab before rolling the cotton. The cotton is dropped into the heroin and it puffs up like a sponge. The tip of the syringe is pushed into the center of the cotton and the plunger is slowly pulled back until all of the heroin is sucked in. This cotton is necessary to filter out any particles and such in the heroin solution. The area on the body chosen for injection is thoroughly cleaned with an alcohol swab. I think the spot on the bend of the arm is so commonly used because it's so darned easy to get the needle into the vein properly. The needle is placed almost flat on the skin so it doesn't get wiggled around too much. The needle is inserted so it goes down the length of the vein and not across it. Going across it just makes it way too easy to accidentally poke through the other side or pull out. Holding the syringe almost flat against the skin after the user feels the needle is deep enough in keeps the syringe from accidentally being jostled around and the needle being pulled out or pushed through the side of the vein. Now for the tricky part. The user has to make sure that the needle is in the vein before injecting. If the heroin is injected when the needle isn't in the vein the heroin will just form a big heroin blister which takes hours and hours to get absorbed by the body. Usually it will burn while it's being injected if it's not going in the vein. This is one way to tell if it's not going in the vein. The user should also keep a close eye to see if a blister is forming. When the needle is inserted the plunger is pulled slowly a tiny bit to see if blood comes in. This shows that it's in the vein. Sometimes when the plunger is pulled, only a slow trickle of blood comes in and the rest is air. With practice it's easier to tell if this trickle indicates a good enough insertion into the vein. Injecting a tiny bit of air (about an eighth-inch) with the heroin is harmless but if the user is nervous about this the syringe could be tilted so the air floats to the other end. From personal experience a quarter- inch (about 10 units) of air being injected with heroin is harmless but there's no need to make a habit of injecting air. With a little practice the user can be pretty sure the heroin is going in the vein without first checking for blood but still checking for a burning feeling where it's being injected or a blister forming. When trying heroin for the first time the user, of course, starts out with a tiny bit to see how his or her body reacts to it. As with pain pills sometimes the stomach gets queasy when the body isn't used to it. In the case of an overdose the only thing I know to do is to keep the person up and walking around to keep the heart going. If medical attention is needed I'm pretty sure the paramedics use a drug called "narcan" which blocks the effects of opiate narcotics like heroin.
Smoking Heroin:
Which is also called "Chasing the Dragon". Heroin is put on aluminum foil and heated from the bottom and allowed to run down the foil, if possible, while inhaling the smoke. The user can be on heroin for a few days straight
(a quarter-gram or so per day) and stop cold- turkey with no symptoms of physical withdrawl whatsoever. Staying on it for periods longer than this is playing with fire.
Street Heroin purification to nearly USP:
Diacetylmorphine (heroin) can exist in two forms, an insoluable base, or a soluable salt. Often it contained alot of other agents like pieces of broken glass, pieces of foil, dirt, wood, metal, mannitol, lactose, maltose, sand, you get the idea. The first stage of the process I used was to make sure the diacetylmorphine (heroin) I received was totally converted to a soluable hydrochloride salt. The heroin I usually received was a brown powdered heroin, sometimes off white, very little vinegar smell. Today all you can find is a black crud that reeks with a vinegar odor. The way I made sure it was a soluable salt was to drop enough 28% hydrochloric acid to make it wet. This insured that I would not waste any of the available drug, but would remove most if not all of the cut. I think that it would be better for me to detail it in a procedural manner. FYI, hydrochloric acid can be purchased in gallon jugs at hardware stores under the name Muriatic acid, 28%. First weigh out one gram of heroin from the stock you received from your supplier. Place this gram into a 13 x 100mm test tube. Add a few drops of 28% hydrochloric acid until it is evenly damp. Allow to react for a minute or two. Next add 5 ml distilled water, place your thumb over the end and carefully shake to dissolve all that will dissolve into the water. Allow the insoluables to settle. Using a eye dropper, remove and transfer as much of the liquid to a fresh test tube leaving the solids behind. Dispose of the undissolved remains in the first test tube. Slowly add, with the eye dropper, one drop at at time, ammonium hydroxide (water clear household ammonia) until the white precipitate ceases production. Add several more drops at this point just to be sure. Shake gently to be sure that all the solution is evenly ammoniated. The solution should look milky. Now add 100 ml ethyl ether (read the text on getting ethyl ether from Chapater 3: Making Meth) to a 150 ml beaker. Dump the milky liquid into the ether and stir briskly and allow the water to settle and collect on the bottom. The water will turn clear. Using a glass eye dropper, remove this water from the bottom of the beaker and dispose of. Now mix up a solution of 5ml 28% hydrochloric acid and 5ml distilled water and add this to the ether in the beaker. Stir briskly keeping as much acid/water suspended as possible for several minutes. Allow the water/acid to collect on the bottom of the beaker. Using a glass eye dropper, remove this water layer from the bottom of the ether and transfer to a glass petri dish. Transfer the ether back to its storage bottle for reuse. It will still contain small amounts of heroin base, so don't throw it out. Recycle! Slowly add small portions of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the water/acid solution in the petri until you don't notice any more bubbles being formed. Place the glass on a warm surface, and allow to evaporate. The residue will be diacetylmorphine hydrochloride and salt. Table salt is a by-product of the reaction and will not hurt you at all when injected. Scrape up the residue and weigh it. Yield from one gram of smack would be anything from 100 to 300 mg, rarely more. Place 100 mg of this powder in a test tube, add 10 cc sterile isotonic water for injection (available over the counter at drug stores) and heat to boiling. Transfer this liquid while still hot using a syringe (available over the counter at some drug stores) to a 10 ml rubber stoppered empty sterile ampoule (available over the counter at drug stores). To use this drug which is 10mg/ml, extract with a sterile syringe as much drug as you wish to use. 10 mg would send me flying believe it or not. 2.5mg (1/4 cc) is usually enough to keep me "happy" and is my normal dose. 20mg is the most I could take safely in my opinion, and was a waste of drug and money. Normally, for most 150-170 lb males, 2.5 mg is more than enough in my opinion. Using heroin in this manner avoids the problems associated with "street use" and will keep your body healthy and safe, reducing the risk of disease and overdosage.
How to safely inject heroin:
All the veins in your body have valves. You can find the valves by running your finger slowly along a vein. The valve is located where the blood stops. A valve allows blood to flow in one direction only. When shooting up, locate the valve and inject either above it or below it, never into it. Injecting into the valve can lead to permement vein damage or collapse.When you lift your finger, the valve will open and that's when you know you found a valve.
Use a big rubber band (used on most sling shots) because it is soft wide and elastic. It is easily released prior to injection and will cause least vein damage. Basically you want the gentlest arm wrap available to avoid crushing your veins.
Tie your rubber band near the veins you will be injecting into. When using veins in your upper forearm tie off just above your elbow. When shooting in veins lower down on your arm move the torniquet below your elbow.And even lower when shooting into veins just above your wrist. When injecting into veins in your hand place the torniquet just above your wrist. Wherever you tie off with a soft rubber torniquet, DO NOT TIE A KNOT in the rubber band, just tuck the rubber underneath itself in a comfortably snug position, so it can be easily released after the needle is in the vein but before you press the plunger down.
The veins in your hand are more fragile and smaller then the other veins in your arm. Try to use smaller guage needle and inject much more slowly than you would in a a big arm vein. The reason for that is that you inject too fast, you put too much pressure on your delicate vein which can burst. You always want to inject in the direction of your blood flow. Trying to inject against the flow will increase the chance of blowing out a valve, doing damage to your vein or wasting drugs.
It is very important to clean your injection site as well as posible. Anti-bacterial soaps are really great and you can get them anywhere. It's good to wipe thouroughly with an alcohol pad BEFORE injecting, not after. This will help prevent track marks, infections or abscesses, because when you get rid of dirt and germs on your skin you don't jamm them into your body.
Wash your hands if you can before touching your injection site, needle, cooker/spoon, cotton, and your drugs. Even though there may be unknown stuff in your drug, you still want to be as clean as possible and reduce any harm to yourself.
Wash your injection site thouroughly before you shoot.
All filters are not created equal. Dental cotton is the best because it is made of very long, flexible, clean fibers, that will not break off and get injected into your vein. It also has a little hole in the center that helps protect the point of the needle. Dental cottons are also best because they are already rolled into a ball and you don't have to handle them much, so there is less chance of breaking fibers or getting other stuff in your mix. Other filters, cotton balls, cigarette filters and Q-Tips may contain short, sharp, brittle fibers that can eaily break off and be injected along with your drug which can cause all kinds of bad shit, like infections, abscesses and clogged veins.
Syringe exchanges provide dental cotton in convenient little plastic bags, which makes them easy to carry and keeps them clean. This way you don't have to mess around with other types of filters. Some people say dental cotton is too small and put two or three of them together into the cooker. Although this is better than using other filters, just one works better then two or three, if you place the needle directly into the little hole in the cotton.
Sterile water is perfect for disolving your mix, because it doesn't have any junk in it to gunk up your veins or bacteria that can make you sick. If you're going to use tap water, its best to boil it first, to kill the bacteria. Then mix it up, draw it up into your syringe. Put the cap back on the syringe and wait for it to cool before shooting. Don't inject anything hot, you will cook your veins.
Cooking your mix does not sterilize anything, it just helps to dissolve the drug.
After your mix is ready draw it up into the syringe through the cotton filter, making sure the point of the syringe is well into the cotton. Drawing up slowly helps eliminate formation of air bubbles.
Hold your syringe point up and tap on it to make any bubbles rise to the top.
Then depress the plunger just a little bit to push any bubbles out.
Let it cool, before you inject, by resting the syringe on something so that the needle is not touching anything else.
While your syringe is cooling, put your rubber band in place near the vein you're going to use and wipe the area thoroughly with an alcohol pad.
Wiping after injecting will sting and make it hard for the wound to heal.
There are many kinds and sizes of syringe to choose from. The smaller the needle the better for maintaining healthy veins.
Syringes were designed to be used once and thrown away. After just one use they are already dull enough that further use causes damage as it punctures the vein. Instead of making a sharp clean entry, the point may tear or rip the vein, which makes the wound harder to heal and more likely to be open to infection and scarring. Blood and other bits of things may remain in the syringe after use which can clog the needle, making it harder to depress the plunger and possibly forcing dangerous debris into your bloodstream. Using a syringe once and only once is the best way to be safe if you are injecting drugs. When you don't share your works, you don't run the risk of either passing on or contracting any diseases.
Wrap the rubber band around your arm and tuck it into itself. Make sure that it's not too tight or you may damage your vein. Insert the point of the needle at a 45 degree angle into the vein, remembering to inject with the flow of the blood. Injecting against the flow can cause turbulence which screws with the proper pressure that veins are made to take. Not only could this damage the vein but also possibly the valves.
When you think you've got the needle in the vein, test to see by pulling up on the plunger a little. If blood enters the barrel, you are ready to go. Before you press the plunger down, release the torniquet
It's important to release the rubber band before injecting because otherwise you place way to much pressure on the vein, which is like a delicate hose. If you close off the hose and then increase the pressure by putting more liquid inside it, you can make it burst, which causes leakage, waste of drug, and bruising. If you let the rubber band go first then you are working better with the way your body works naturally, and will cause less damage to yourself.
Here is a variety of things you could use to put pressure on your wound after you finish the injection and withdraw the syringe. The best thing to use is the cleanest thing so that you avoid getting dirt on it. Given a choice between a rag or towel that has been sitting around and a roll of toilet paper, the toilet paper is probably going to be cleaner.
Apply pressure to the site cleanly and steadily, if possible raising it above the level of your heart. The combination of the pressure and the elevation greatly reduces bruising and helps the bleeding to stop sooner.
After all this, you have a hole in your body, which like any wound, heals better if you care for it. There are some products which may help the healing process, like vitamin E oil and antibiotic creams. Others products, like aloe vera or skin creams, may help promote healthy skin in a more general way. If you apply skin creams to the area around an injection, either wait till the wound has closed or try and use products that are free of colors and fragrances that may sting otherwise.
How to get Needles:
Needles, which are called syringes, can be bought over the counter at most big stores at the pharmacy. Buy the smallest needle they have. If they ask what you intend to do with the needles say you are diabetic.
--------------------------Opium-------------------------
Harvesting Opium from Poppy seeds:
First, buy some seeds. Papaver Somniforum is very common and seeds are advertised in most good seed catalogs. Then, plant them. They need virtually no care whatsoever. The following year, you don't have to plant because they spread like wildfire. There are invariably more unwanted opium poppies than there are weeds in my garden each year. When the flowers go to seed, scrape the seed pods with a pin. Do it all around the pod. As you do so, you will see little blobs of white coming out. Leave the wounds to seep for a few hours. A couple of hours later, go back and harvest your opium. By now, the white blobs will have turned into black tar that can be scraped off and collected on an old, blunt dinner knife or some such. This really does work, and it is legal to grow the flowers. However, once you start to scratch them, I suspect that you become party to a conspiracy to manufacture. Not very clever. So be careful.
Smoking the Opium:
Once you dry the opium (if not already dry) you may place the opium in a pipe. The smoke is very strong, so many people mix it with weed.
