this is probably an edge case but I do when i visit family and friends. these trips are short and infrequent enough that a laptop would be an unnecessary expense and i’m not driving through mountainous areas with my tower. none of them use linux. most have aged windows or mac machines. they don’t care if i run a live system or puppy linux from a USB drive. i add a handful of appimages i’ll use at night or if there’s free time. I’m sure there are better ways but it works for me.
I was on it for a few years. Started with snorting. Wound up injecting regularly, eventually. Kind of.
I preferred other intoxicants. Alcohol, specifically. Doing it drunk, of course is even harder I imagine. I don’t even want to think about that.
I’m terrified of needles. The first time I tried injecting, I fucked it up. Once the needle was stuck in, I passed out, threw up, fell out of my chair and wasted $40 out of $80. Probably in that order. It was just like my first tattoo actually, come to think of it, except the tattoo was $60 and I didn’t wake up with a painful lump on my arm from a sub-cutaneous disaster or dried vomit and heroin all over my pants.
I never tried shooting it myself again. I just closed my eyes and paid someone else do it via parting with some of my supply or providing the needles, since I wasn’t afraid of ordering bulk B&D’s online.
Sober from it since mid-2015.
