needle junkie
Is a person who is consumed by using illegal drugs intravenously. Using a needle to shoot up drugs into their veins. The euphoria from shooting up drugs into the veins is almost instantaneous compared to smoking or snorting a line. A drug addict who only uses by injecting drugs into their veins. Their life is spiraling downward and over half of IV users are homeless, jobless, and lost their kids and family.
The needle junkie has an abscess on his arm from missing the veins while shooting up drugs.
