Mainlining

Mainlining, in the context of drug use, refers to the practice of injecting drugs directly into a vein.

Substance Abuse

Mainlining is commonly associated with substance abuse, particularly the use of intravenous drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine.

Administration Method

The process of mainlining involves using a hypodermic needle to insert the drug solution into a vein, allowing for a rapid and intense delivery to the bloodstream.

Risks and Dangers

Mainlining poses significant risks, including the potential for overdose, transmission of bloodborne diseases (e.g., HIV, hepatitis), collapsed veins, and damage to vital organs.
