How is opium injected?

Opium can be injected by first dissolving it in a suitable solvent, typically water, to create a solution. The user then draws the solution into a syringe and selects a vein for injection, usually in the arm. After cleaning the injection site with an alcohol swab, the needle is inserted into the vein, and the plunger is pressed to deliver the substance. It's important to note that injecting opium or any opioid carries significant health risks, including addiction and infection.
