If you say that "shoot it up" does not apply then you must have more relevant context that you are not giving us, because what we have could well mean : "I have a big stash, but I am not going to use any of it"

really...no more context Phil, there is really no more context this is just two guys talking all kind of stuff and these snippets about the clavo and curar comes up, before that is all Yes, guey, what the F*** with that Sh**, pa' la v*** and all kinds of bad language and talk that doesn't say anything...hard for them to complete a sentence. Por eso es dificil. Saludos

It would help a lot if you could give more context - you say it's confidential, but you've still managed to give us two sentences. Surely you could tell us what's before and after this without revealing anything you shouldn't? I'm inclined towards patinba's answer because it includes a dictionary reference, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

explicacion no puedo dar mas contexto porque es confidencial. No tiene nada que ver con curar/sanar/arrepentirse ni nada. Es algo que se le hace a la droga, algo que al parecer a veces se hace al esconderla en el escondite secreto (clavo) en el carro. Algo como envolverla en algo, echarle algo, protegerla. Algo para que los perros no la detecten facilmente, o no sea facil de descubrir, quiza? En otras palabras, es algo que la persona que sabe realmente como traducirlo lo sabe por experiencia, no es cuestion facil de adivinar. Se que es dificil, pero pense que a lo mejor alguien que haya trabajado en "undercover" jobs, phone taps, etc., podria saber. Gracias por toda la ayuda. Si saben de buenos sitios de Mexican Slang, lo agradeceria!

Sorry, just thinking aloud in my last comments, interested in the answers you receive.

On the other opposite side, it may be a slang way of saying that he is risking so much yet not been paid enough!

Maybe more conversation or context would help, I somehow seem to appreciate a drug leader feeling bad... he is stashing cocaine, and he feels against this, he is not going to cure/help/save anyone??? Just a thought that came to me after reading the phrase you've added as context.
