Could this be from him cooking the meth to shoot it? He is an admitted IV drug user.

Question about something I found |
Lead | |
|
I was unloading the dishwasher - and came upon a spoon with black stuff on the bottom of it. It looked like "soot" -- like from a candle. And, you
could make out a rounded spot --- like where a flame had been --- the soot like stuff was surrounding the round spot.

Meth isn't cooked or heated in a spoon before injection. There is no need to heat it. Meth is water soluble. It dissolves in water the way it is.
Heroin is cooked, heated, before drawn up into a rig or syringe. |

Sounds more like crack or heroin. You can mix baking soda and cocaine with water or amonia and heat it up on a spoon to make freebase. You have to heat up
heroin in order to inject it. My understainding is that you just add water to meth in order to inject it--no heating required--so the black suit marks on the
spoon dont sound indicative of meth use.
It would be easy to tell which drug he was using the spoon to cook. Look for track marks on the arms. Is he sleepy in a dream like euphoric state--probably heroin. Is he speedy; up all night long, talkative, jittery, full of energy, paranoid, etc.--freebase or crack |

I'm confused. One time my daughter left a spoon on the night table - next to our bed - she was eating yogurt or something and just left her dirty spoon
there (nice!). Anyway, he noticed it and said "That looks my old room at my parent's house. Spoons everywhere. My mom would get mad because all her
spoons went missing".
???? He always said he shot meth. Never mentioned crack or heroin. |

Sorry for the confusion. Its the burn marks or suit under the spoon that differientiate it from spoons used to mix and inject meth. Bangers (people
who inject) of meth do often times use spoons to mix water with the meth to prep it for injection--but no heating is required.
Hope this clears up confusion Metheart |

I just wonder wth he was doing. Could it be that my husband has been doing crack or (gasp) heroin???
Even when he was using and we were broken up and apart (before we married) and he showed me his arms -- he didn't really have "track marks" --- just a bunch of tiny red dots. He has blown out the vein in his arm shooting up though. It's about 1/2" long place where you can tell "something" isn't quite right. |

ya know, personally, I prefer heroin addicts to meth addicts....I've never had a heroin addict give me any problems except turning on my friends...I mean
that is a bad thing too, but at least there are medical options for a heroin addict.
If I were you, I'd be hoping he had dumped the meth or coke shooting for heroin. luv |

He loves meth. That is his drug of choice. Maybe the spoon I found was a flook. It sure did look suspicious though.
