Injecting - air bubbles when shooting up cocaine

[sicksadswirl]

how do you get an air bubble in your vein? what are the chances you will get one when shooting up? especially when shooting up coke.

To get an air bubble in your vein, you start w/ an air bubble in your
needle. You look in it and you see it. To get rid of it,
hold the needle w/ the point facing upward, tap in until all air rises
to the top, than push the plunger until the air is removed. You
see doctors do this all the time on TV.



This is simple and is ALWAYS done by everyone who shoots up.
Therefore, there's on reason you should ever get an air bubble in your
vein when shooting up anything.



That said, I've read that it takes a full ml of air to kill you.
So, while there's no reason to have ANY air in your needle, don't let
people freak you out either that the tiniest of tiny air bubbles will
kill you.



BTW, if you don't already know this, you really should reconsider shooting anything or at least have someone help you.
