Femoral Vein Worries

[RaZeR]

Hey guys I'm a new member here but I've been around a while just checking things out but now that I'm on there's a few things that eat at me I'd like to post about. First and foremost is the issue of using your femoral vein and the problems that can come with it. This ones for the hardcore folks.

As a longtime westcoast user I've burned out all my easy to reach smaller veins even including the neck. It's sad what years of using that acidic disgusting tar will do to your circulitory system. So I was shown how to hit the femoral vein a while ago and now use it exclusively. For one it's easy to hit provided you're using a 3cc rig. (I call em harpoons) The other benefit of these is they are the only thing big enough to fit enough of the shitty quality tar thats been around the last few years to feel anything. I'm a veteran with a respectable tolerance and I usually do gram or more shots. But the shittiness of the dope is for another thread.

Anyhow this is my concern; just about every person I know who uses the femoral vein for a long time faces some pretty dire fucking consequences. One of my best friends had a stroke and nearly died and is permanantly disabled. Another good friend is in a wheelchair. And I see numerous people who are limping or have canes. Problem usually originates with bloodclots

I know how to UTMFSE but this is something I'm curious about peoples actual experience and any advice concerning if there is a safe way to do this or minimize the risks. Is it possible to burn out the largest vein in your body? Do you or anyone you know use it or have for a long time with no problems. I'm a little sore in that area but it's payday and I'm not stopping. Smarter friends muscle and they have their own whole slew of problems, plus no rush. Oh yeah did I mention I like speedballs? Thx.
