I doubt this is a vector for more than very tiny amounts to inject.

Very Star Trek, though.

I've been looking forever on how I can directly inject heroin into my eyeballs without that unsightly(in more ways than one) scar.

The submitter needs to learn the difference between intramuscular and intravenous.

Most vaccines are delivered via intramuscular injection. This new method is intended to replace that.

Hard recreational drugs, OTOH, are normally delivered via intravenous injection. This new method will not replace that.
