A kit made for injecting street drugs, notably opiates (note the promethazine and roxicodone tablets).

Items listed clockwise starting from top: Hydrocodone/Homatropine syrup (intensifies opiate effects/remedy for "dope sickness"), Butane Lighter (used to heat up "cook" the concoction before filling syringe), Package of insulin syringes, bottle of Promethazine (opiate potentiator, alleviates "dope-sickness" (often cooked up with the drug being injected), Pocket knife (used to chop or "break up" drug into fine powder), oxycodone pills, individual 1 CC insulin syringes, individual roxicodone pill 15mg (left of quarter) and promethazine 50mg (right of quarter), Q-Tips (cotton used as a filter when filling syringe), Metal spoon (concoction is "cooked up" on spoon), latex glove (used as a tourniquet), Ethanol or Isopropyll alcohol (Used to clean skin and any surfaces the drug is to come in contact with)

Note it is quite common for a drug injector to use a single needle repeatedly or share a needle with other users. It's also quite uncommon for a sterilizing agent such as alcohol to be used.

Compare to this legitimate kit obtained through a needle-exchange program:
