New injectors typically shoot into veins in their arms and legs. But over time, repeated injections cause their veins to collapse, forcing them to inject in functioning vessels everywhere from the head to the toes to the groin. Each insertion dulls the needle, and after a few failed attempts, an addict needs a new syringe. It now takes Marian up to 10 needles to find a working vein.
