Black tar heroin non-sterile solution: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

*'''Black tar heroin''' - This is the dirty, sticky, highly adulterated version of [[heroin]] that some users in the western and southern parts of the United States are familiar with. It is unable to be snorted in its processed form, which has a gooey consistency.

*'''Syringe and ~~needle''' - The black tar heroin is dissolved in water and heated in a method equivalent to the one found used to inject and is detailed below.~~

===Injection materials===

See [[Safer injection guide#Materials and equipment]]

*'''Water for injection''' - Dissolve the [[heroin]] in water while being careful not to use too much as one does not want to take in too much water. The less water used, the more concentrated the solution becomes. While the concentrated solution creates a burning sensation in the nose, some prefer it for the increased potency it offers.

===Nasal spray===

*For nasal administration: '''Nasal irrigator''' - This can be used about an hour after snorting to clear the sinus passages of any impurities. Reports of black impurities exiting the sinus cavities upon irrigation are common when using a cotton filter, which suggests that cotton may not be the best-suited filter.

*'''Single-use spoon (avoid sharing pool!)''' - This is used to dissolve the [[heroin]] into water for injection.

*'''Filter''' - A micron filter is best, but people usually resort to using a cotton q-tip for a filter. Do not re-use any cotton filters as this can lead to [[cotton fever]], which can be life-threatening.
