[skylar]

Aspirating means pulling back on the plunger once you've stuck the needle in, to make sure you haven't landed in the middle of a vein. If you pull back on the plunger (aspirate), and blood rushes in, then pull out and try again (or, go ahead and inject right into your vein and possibly kill yourself... it's your choice, really).

Where are you shooting it? If it's your quad it's highly unlikely you'll hit a vein, unless you have a very thick leg (or used anything less than a 1" pin)

Is it my understanding that if one shoots into a vein then the juice would be wasted? I mean, it would never deposit into any muscle tissue directly, but I'm wondering if it would still activate receptor sites (assuming it didn't kill you)

Good post and on the money, Dr. M.

thanks didnt know ...so as soon as i get needle stuck in all the way pull back on plunger and if bllod rushes pull out and go to a diff spot???? thanks guys i am a rookie

Yeah bro, here's what you do...

1 - Swab the site and prepare injection as normal.
2 - Insert needle as normal.
3 - When completely in, stop and pull back on plunger for 3-4 seconds. If blood enters the syringe, pull almost completely out and re-insert at a different angle (or go completely out - it's up to you). THE PULLING BACK OF THE PLUNGER TO CHECK FOR BLOOD IS KNOWN AS ASPIRATION.
4 - Repeat step 3 until no blood enters the syringe after insertion/aspiration.
5 - Inject as normal, and properly dispose of all sharps/contaminated waste.

Good luck bro...

P.S. Karma...
