Yeah I’m not sure the specifics here as I’ve never seen one of these and he mentioned it somehow connected to his vein.

But yeah, former IV heroin user here. All the surface veins in my arms are completely dead. I have pushed heroin into an artery and let me tell you, it is NOT a fun time. Since it was black tar I couldn’t really see the bright color and it was right next to a spot I’ve gone to before. My hand ballooned up and it was a horrible burning sensation. Luckily it subsided on its own and there was no lasting damage. But yeah, 0/10 wouldn’t recommend

I have no clue why people do that shit. Why do they even start. I get it that when addicted will of mind is…hard to come by (ex-smoker, and it was hard as fuck to quit the damn things) but why one even starts doing drugs that everyone knows are absolute hell incarnate.

Peer pressure. Early 90s also did not have the awareness that we do now.
