Answer 1

First thing are you gonnna actually inject w/e? You can get away with injecting Stevia or other Herbal's! BTW I used to inject real heroin & cocaine stopped in 1995! I take it you want to use a bent spoon as a cooker so water won't do, you need white powder Stevia is prolly the best!

Answer 2

Unless you use aseptic technique, anything that you inject can cause an infection. At the best, you might end up with cellulitis or phlebitis. At worst, sepsis and death. Try pretending, or get a medical professional to help you do it with sterile technique..

You could inject sterile saline. NOT the kind for contact lenses. The medical kind that says "for injection" on the label.

Answer 3

a sterile saline solution is probably better than water but an even better alternative would be for you to invest in a prop. A fake syringe that has a "needle" that retracts up into the plastic is far better than putting a real needle used or not into yourself for a film.

Answer 4

no, not water, as the previous anser suggested.

0.9% normal saline is the only safe thing to inject in your vein that you wouldn't need a doctor for. you can ask you physician if he has any saline flushes that you could use for this very purpose. don't let anyone convince you that anything else is safe, and definitely not tap water or sterile water OK????

Answer 5

Mix some white powdered sugar into some water, Cut, discard that syringe and then substitue that syringe for a STERILE one filled with Sterile distilled water. *10 CC's or LESS!!! too much is bad! *you can do this yourself by boiling the syringe with the water in it.

Saliene solutuon would be alot better, But you would have to find some.

Answer 6

Not water, get "lactated ringers" or "normal saline" or some other IV solution from a doctor, or order it online for a "pet." It is pretty cheap and better for you. Plus about a liter of it after a long night of drinking and no headache.

Answer 7

a sterile saline solution. That is what nurses use to practice injecting.

Answer 8

Saline.

Answer 9

Water? That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Answer 10

check with your Dr before you hurt your self. maybe normal saline would work, but check with your Dr first
