The rush is just crazy with shooting up. Nothing makes me fiend like feeling that pinch and seeing blood go into the tube and the plunger go down *shudder*
I can knock myself out of that pretty quick by remembering how much it sucks to OD though
I can only imagine, and by the looks of it I'll probably only be able to imagine it for the forseeable future.
That said, I liked smoking/snorting it, because it was a steady build up. Kinda like, sitting next to a heater after freezing your balls off and slowly warming up.
But they're SO MUCH FUN
Too much fun, unfortunately.
There is a depraved part of me that really wants to do a speed ball just to say i have.
Speed balls are fun. Towards the end I used to mix tar and coke together in like 4:1 ratios and that really helped put a kick in my step. Got me at least functional.
I don't think I could bring myself to shooting it up. Maybe tin foiling it at most.
PROTIP: whether you get west coast black tar or east coast powder, maybe the best thing to do (and most discrete) is to get an old small pill bottle (like the 50 counts), Clabber Girl baking powder (NOT baking soda) and a couple coins, then mix your dope, baking powder and a couple of clean coins and shake away. Feel free to add any coke you find if you'd like. Next take a plastic straw that can fit inside your pill bottle and cut it at an angle for bumps.
Alternatively, if you end up with west coast black tar, you can put a bit of it on a paper clip, and use another paper clip to hot knife it (via any kind of decent flame, ideally a butane lighter but even a BIC lighter will work). Then use a standard straw to carry all items in it, just be sure to wrap the black tar in some kind of plastic wrap so that it doesn't accidentally cake on the inside of the straw as it's a real bitch trying to collect its smeared remains from the inside.
Tin foil smoking sucks because like 60% of it ends up in the air, and it's hard to control the heat properly without burning it. Hot knifing it using paperclips and sucking it up with a straw is like 99% effective. Plus it tastes good (like burnt hot dogs, or coffee made with hot dog water).
