Sorry @ Conceited I didn't see this until now. MIdazolam is very very tough on the veins. You were correct, I had forgotten (pardon the pun)The bio availability of an I.M shot is right @ 90%. Where as the bio availability of I.V route is about 3-5% more. The I.v route for that quick hard hitting euphoric rush & relaxation is great but very short lived. I've had this drug both in medical procedures & recreational procedures of varying doses & both the I.M & I.V routes. I prefer the I.M. route only because that nice relaxed feeling is not gone quite as fast. I guess it's a trade off. The vein damage is real, it is like Demerol that way. The worst burn I think besides Potassium is Etomidate. I've never done crushed up tabs. Only amps. RXPRO-
