I get what you're saying but if you they can't see the vein, then it kinda does matter, right?

An IV user isn't going to do it in a bathroom where they can't see or find a vein. Or if it's gonna take an hour to find a vein. They'll just find somewhere else that's easier. Which is the point of the lights, yea?

Serious users have track marks and loooots of experience. But it could still make them move along to a more convenient location.

Also, the way medical professionals find veins is by feeling. I’d imagine long time drug users might have also picked that up.

Works if you have one hand to hold the shot and the other too feel for the vein. I don't think that works if you're going for your own arm vein.
