im finally bent!!

[Matty Fats 420]

ive been suffering for almost a month down here in NY without any opiates. still feeling the withdrawls after this long UGHHHH lol but myself ive been an IV drug user of oxycontin and heroin for almost 2 years and for alll those times i would shoot up when i sucked up my junk through the cotton to get my fix for the day i would always put that piece of cotton in a little baggie and stash it away so my parents wouldnt find it. when i moved i found that bag with houdreds of little cotton balls. so i take about 10-15 of those cotton balls and one CC of hot water and mix it up. cook it down in my spoon. suck it up and shoot it up. and boy i got a feeling that i havent had in over a month! not total nodding but just a good warm feeling. i never thought that keeping those peices of cotton would come in so handy! lol if anyone knows why or if this is even safe let me know, other wise. save those cotton balls for a rainy day!!! hahahaha GET BENT and ENJOY

I got very sick from shooting up cottons that were kept in plastic......I ended up with cold sore like incrustations covering half my face a few days later from the infection. I cooked the hell out of those cottons, and I still got sick.
people that saw me told my mom that I looked like I was dying.
the sickness laste for around 4 days and the scabs and sores about three weeks....I felt dizzy, I couldnt focus on anything, I couldnt work, the only thing I could do was shoot dope every hour to keep the pain at bay.... 50% of my lips were swollen three times their original size. it was weird because the sores stopped exactly in the middle of my face, leaving half of my face clean and normal, but turn around and I was covered with huge green scabs and weeping sores...
and still even after that, my last shot of heroin was pulled from an old cotton.

wow, ok maybe i should just toss this crap. i only did it once so far but im telling you i was fucked up! lol. but i really cant affored to be that sick right now so hopefully ill learn from your mistakes ( not to sounds like an asshole ) and stop. but it was good while it lasted lol

As sick as this sounds, I always ate my cottons. (didn't want to leave any evidence behind for my Dad to find, you know..):)

The term, I believe is "cotton fever" and it can kill. You have the problem of heat resistant bacteria, but more important are virus particles that mimic infections. And of course micro-fibers protect all those little guys, as well as present their own threat. If you do this MAtty, I don't suggest you do, you should cook the cottons to boil, get rid of them from the solution, get a new cottonand filter through that. You might want to heat twice. I'm not recommending this as a completely safe way to go. Just maybe safer by degrees.

the problem I encountered was using cottons that hadnt been stored correctly. they were put in a film canister and didnt dry out before sitting in a moist environement. they werent wet, but a little moisture was obviously present.
I BOILED these cottons in a sauce pan as there were about 100 cottons. I boiled the solution for a few minutes. I shouldn have known. but I was sick and desperate.
I shared a couple of needles full of this crap with my wife. we both got well, then high, then we could barely move, the sickness came on at about 2 hours. when the person who was letting us stay with her got home we were incapacitated. the next day I could barely walk, and was sooo dizzy. the sores came on a few days later. the dizziness lasted for 5 or 6 days.
I have done cottons many times, and only got cotton fever twice. basically if you are going to rinse cottons either dry them in some heat, or OPEN container with plenty of airflow, or dont use them at all. some people just suck on them.
It was interesting that my wife felt ok the next day, but I had a long way to go before I was better, I must have had a lowered immunity, and I was dopesick for 2-3 days before taking this crap and hadnt eaten much during that time.

hey heidi , I was wondering how you picked that avatar of yours? I ask because I actually drew that picture last year, it is a design for a future opiophile shirt. the symbols are obvious to most cept maybe shivas trident.
anyway I am not concerned just didnt know that the photo was on our website somewhere...I am sure billi had something to do with this.
take care.

thanks everyone for your advice, as much as i do want to get high i would rather do it with some H or OXY. i dont want to get sick just to get that little high that cottons do get you. i decieded to just toss the rest of them in the garbage and continue my search in NY for some good stuff. but i really do appreciate all the replys and hopefully ill get a connect around here somewhere for some good shit.

Thanks everyone

Matty!

jacky i was onley admirering that avatar just a few min ago then i read your post that youy did it! nice one i like it its almost alchemical like with the winding serpents of hermis (also used as a health thing) and the sun and the moon i like it.

When you save your cottons certain types of bacteria and mold can breed on your cotton. Just something to think about. It can make you really sick so I wouldnt do it unless you were in a life or death situation and you needed some sort of painkiller to save you from horrible pain of having an arm chopped off or something lol. I really like this site. If anyone has advice feel free to talk to me. I am somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to painkillers. Well i'm about as knowledgeable as a 20 year old can be. My name is Thomas, I am new here. You can all call me Tom or anything else you want as long as it's not something negative. Take care, friends :)

Whats up with the Nazi shit in your Avatar???

[kramorph]

Unfortunately, allsorts of fungi and bacteria thrive in cotton(basically cellulose).But from what I was taught in microbiology classes, heating to above 80C should kill most of the pathogens, but then left behind is the pyrogenic material, as well as the dead bugs and all sorts of other shit. I personally wouldnt recommend using old filters that have been stored in plastic.But if I was sick I'd shoot up anything.But the sickest I have ever been is the first time I took home me 'done.I didnt swallow and spat into a container, then got home and shot the lot, saliva and all, fuck was i crook, but only lasted a coupla days. As we all know it is better to be clean and safe.You could extract the lot of ya cottons with a solvent.There are many regular posters that could help, by the sound of it it may well be worth it if ya get high from 10 of em.

[brokenhalo]

has anyone considered freezing the cottens immediatly after use and then using them later. the option remains then to boil them as well.

[oldschool?]

i used to put spoons in the freezer if there was still any liquid left that i was saving for later...
