I was on it for a few years. Started with snorting. Wound up injecting regularly, eventually. Kind of.
I preferred other intoxicants. Alcohol, specifically. Doing it drunk, of course is even harder I imagine. I don't even want to think about that.
I'm terrified of needles. The first time I tried injecting, I fucked it up. Once the needle was stuck in, I passed out, threw up, fell out of my chair and wasted $40 out of $80. Probably in that order. It was just like my first tattoo actually, come to think of it, except the tattoo was $60 and I didn't wake up with a painful lump on my arm from a sub-cutaneous disaster or dried vomit and heroin all over my pants.
I never tried shooting it myself again. I just closed my eyes and paid someone else do it via parting with some of my supply or providing the needles, since I wasn't afraid of ordering bulk B&D's online.
Sober from it since mid-2015.
Iโm curious, how much did you pay for the injection service?
usually was about $10 worth of stuff when it was with a trusted friend, if i had a spare clean needle that was worth $5 on its own. If it was a stranger or dealer, it was sometimes as high as $20 worth, again minus $5 for each needle if I had them.
So the AI boom has made the bots depressed too huh ...
I've never seen someone labeled as a bot. Probably because I'm using an app?
I'm on voyager. It shows up as an lil robot icon.
Interesting. I'm on sync. Doesn't show anything. For a second I thought you were talking about star trek. Haha.
He edited it so now his account is no longer marked as bot. Maybe you'll see others. Try searching for lemmy bots.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out.
Not a bot account, I dunno why I am marked as one.
I fixed it in my settings ๐
Thanks for letting me know, I didnโt know.
Yeah, I knew it wasn't a bot reply, but since I thought you marked it as such it was a fun comment.
