Drug injection
Drug injection
is a method of introducing a
drug
into the body with a hollow needle and a
syringe
which is pierced through the skin into the body (usually
intravenous
, but also
intramuscular
or
subcutaneous
). It often applies to
substance dependence
and
recreational drug use
. This act is often colloquially referred to as "slamming", "shooting [up]", "banging", "pinning", or "jacking-up", often depending on the specific
drug subculture
in which the term is used (i.e.
heroin
,
cocaine
,
methamphetamine
).
