[edit] Skin popping

"Subcutaneous injections are used by heroin addicts (called 'skin popping', referring to the bump formed by the bolus of heroin), to sustain a slow release that staves off withdrawal symptoms without producing euphoria."
I've been around a lot of heroin addicts, and I've never heard of anyone doing that... --Flopster2 09:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

It's reffed now - I'd heard of it in class, found it on a Seattle website. Perhaps it's a regional or North American thing? WLU 13:51, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
