once his nose was all jacked up someone brought up how he was wearing gloves all of a sudden

prolly had a hooker shooting him up

so yeah I think Artie was just telling another lil brown Artie lie

A hooker can find a vein faster than a vascular surgeon.

What the fuck do gloves have to do w/ it? Are you saying that he was banging into his hand and didn’t want people to notice? That’s so silly. While you can get a vein in your hand easily why not do it somewhere else? Like the easiest place which is your arm which would’ve been covered up anyway? Or your foot. I’ve known people that always used their foot because it would always be hidden. But moreover.. if he had a pro shooting him up as you suggested, tracks wouldn’t really even be a concern. If you have a fresh spike and don’t over use it and don’t hit the same spot over and over you don’t get a visible mark. Real tracks happen over long periods of time. Single use marks are barely visible, if at all and only last a day or so. Suggesting that him wearing gloves is the smoking gun to him finally booting his diesel is beyond ridiculous.

I learned all this in D.A.R.E.

I learned all this in D.A.R.E. i learned this from experience, if you have been around full blown addicts you would know what I was saying might be what happened with artie

dont really wanna explain more cause im already thinking about were I would shoot up lol

I was kidding you silly goose. Yeah... they teach you that kind of detail in D.A.R.E. Come on man. That shit was the modern version of Reefer Madness.

I was a full blown junkie for over a decade. Hopefully you’re over it too. For me I had to move to a different part of the country where I didn’t know anyone who used and I didn’t know where to cop. Also I know some people hate it and some swear by it but I think Suboxone is a literal miracle drug. So many of my friends and I’m sure myself would be dead w/out it. I went from copping dope and coke to copping Suboxone because I didn’t have insurance. From the same crackhouse I was going to for dope, crack and coke no less.

Good times, right?

lol im stupid, and im glad your clean.

i never was a full blown h guy, just did it once in awhile with my bro, then shot for awhile with an ex. i couldnt cum on it so it wasnt something i wanted to do enough to get the sickness

alot of my exes were full blown and my bro died of that stuff (actually the methadone getting off, but same diff old chestnut)

Fucking methadone.... evil rotten shit. Sorry about your bro.

no worries, you reminded me my ex actually got gangrene in her foot, and my last ex collapsed one in her arm

was just saying i think artie got a couple bad pokes and covered it up in the obvious junkie way lol

wearing tuxedo gloves to work to cover track marks sounds like some artie shit is all

Definitely possible. That’s for sure.

Early on during the Stern years when he admitted he was an addict, he said he didn’t inject it because it was way more addictive that way and that he “skeeved needles”.

I love NJ ginzo logic.

Who’s laughing now eh? Eh?

No, he literally said he heard snorting it is more addicting, but he's deathly afraid of needles.

It's definitely the most addictive method but when first start the most economical because you are using less and the best feeling because you get the rush. You don't get the rush snorting plus your liver turns the heroin in morphine after the first pass through your liver. Then a few weeks later you go from shooting a bag to get high to shooting a bundle (10 bags) so you don't get sick.

Do heroin users actually say they don't use needles like it changes anything? You're still addicted to heroin, loser.

Naw... that actually means a lot. Trust me. No matter how safe and clean you are if you use needles you’re looked down upon. There’s such a stigma behind it based on rumor and how it’s portrayed in media.

But the thing is you're looked down upon just as much for snorting heroin

Shooting looked down upon more. Lots of people snort various drugs. Plus heroin isn't a team sport you want to get high and nod off not party with others.

No need to find a vein when your left nostril is the size of the Holland tunnel.

Artie's been known to tell the occasional lie, but he claimed the only time he ever shot heroin was when a hooker snuck up on him and skinpopped him.

He admitted somewhere that he did shoot up once or twice. I think some hooker shot him up after he threw the CDs at his assistant and had the huge meltdown before leaving for Amsterdam

Sweet Christ. I've listened to his shows, read his books, but your summation;

-after he threw the CDs at his assistant and had the huge meltdown before leaving for Amsterdam-

completely focused my hate for that 50-year old man-baby.

People in their 20's are addicted to heroin. That's a life period where you're still young and dumb, and it can be forgiven later in life.

People still addicted to street drugs into their 50's is just a red flag that you're never getting better, Artie.

There is no happy ending to his story, is there?

Not that it changes anything, but I want to say he shot up in Amsterdam...

Fuck him and his junkie bullshit. He's shot up more times than he can count.

At the very LEAST Artie had to start banging after Not the Man Ang's goon tried to punch start his head. Can't snort dope thru a nose that's swollen shut, last I read.

I don't even care what the fuck Artie does, I just hate when a junkie HAS to tell you that they've NEVER shot up.

Like they're trying to show you how responsible they are while nodding off mid-sentence and setting the bed on fire with a cigarette.

That's actually how Artie should go out. At least that leaves a speck of room for dignity.

You’re pretty spot on. Can’t argue any of that. I thought Artie would go out with a needle in his arm. The last thing he felt he could brag about when lying about his addiction is taken from him when he officially loses everything.

It takes skill and a rookie isn't shooting in their hand and the between the toes is bullshit the vein has to be big enough and you need to know specifically what size rig to get. Most start shooting into the crock of the elbow because your vein there is huge and easy to hit. Another easy spot is above your wrist either on the top or outer side. It's will be hard for a fat fuck like Artie to see those veins but they are there and if he ties off they will become visable (not everyone ties off.)

Stop obsessively commenting about shooting upłj

He could also be boofing it (up the ass) works better then snorting and almost as good as IV. But he's Probably to fat to reach his asshole.
