Kiara's marks on her legs
[QUOTE=LexLuther; 1883717]You say the bruises on her legs are from shooting up? I thought one shot up heroin into veins. And if you're saying it's from methadone, if I'm not mistaken, methadone is taken either as a liquid or as tablets. Those bruises on her legs are not in the area where leg veins are.

If you have watched a nurse prepare to draw blood with a needle, you know how tedious the process can be. They tell you to make a fist, hold it, then they look for a vain. The tap your arm and wiggle their finger were the think they see a vain. Sometimes they do this two or three times if they are having trouble finding one. Now imagine some one who has no medical. Training trying to find a vain and insert a needle into one. I can see were that would lead to a lot of unnecessary jabbing that would lead to an infection or bruising. I have personally witnessed a SW do this after a date at D's. It was Sheena who drove the white pickup truck. We were standing in the street talking about her court date and as we were talking she pulled out a needle and started jabbing herself in between her fingers. I know the needle wasn't clean because it was not wraped in plastic when she pulled it out. I don't think you have vains in the part of the finger she was sticking herself, she looked like some one that was looking for anyway to get the stuff in her system.
Marks on legs (and arms, face etc.)

LexLuther[/QUOTE]Most of the scabby marks that you see aren't injection sites, but scabs from itching and picking. The itching is caused by all opiates (scratching your nose on a Percocet) , and once you scratch the skin open, they'll keep on scratching and picking obsessively. That's why the wounds scar even after healing. Sloppy shooting usually only results in a bruise and the occasional abscess.
Mixing Two Topics: Kiara & SWs enjoying their job
I've been reading the two debates / conversations going on: Kiara's leg bruises and the SWs' lifestyle choices. It appears that a lot of people pine over Kiara, what she's using, how often she is using, etc. They appear to genuinely care. Not enough to stop feeding her habit or lifestyle, but enough to give her a tip and tolerate her "needy" ways.
However, to the point of my post: drug addicted SWs serve one master. Their drug. Period. Any drug addicted person serves the drug. I do not think that one can opine about what a drug addicted SW prefers, because you cannot truly know someone that is addicted to drugs unless you get to know them when they are not addicted. Non drug addicted SWs are different: They do it for different reasons. However, drug addicted SWs do it because it is the easiest way for them to get the most money quickly to get more drugs.
