if it is actually poisonous to inhale small amounts of these chemicals i would really like to hear a detailed, cogent analysis of this, or proof. I am confused that every time someone asks this question, it is immediately met with a chorus of "don't do it, it's poison" without any evidence to back this up other than taste and the fact that it's an HCL.
I'm sorry but a) smoking 2c-x's DOES work and has been demonstrated to do so repeatedly; b) does not "waste" the chemical; c) produces different effects from eating, more simliar to insufflating.
see, e.g., just this latest thread:

When i challenged the person who claimed "poisonous" on this thread, he/she immediately retreated to "tastes bad and makes my stomach feel bad"--which in BL terms is something very, very different from "poisonous."
BL is supposed to be a source for accurate information. I remain continually puzzled why this topic brings immediate, categorical statements like
Lots of phenethylamines become toxic chemicals when burned. Wouldn't try it. Plus it's a hydrochloride, not a freebase.
Many phenethylamines are also caustic oils in their freebase form.
Fair enough, but these are extremely general statements, and I know of no actual data to support their applicability to 2c-x's in general or to the small amounts that one typically inhales (as opposed to, e.g., meth). Despite these claims, I don't even specifically know of a source that lists toxic byproducts of burned 2c-x's; is there such a source?
I am open to the idea that this is poisonous, but so far I have not seen even the minimal evidence that is usually associated with claims like this; and if you search "smoking" or "smoked" plus any 2c-x chemical, you will find numerous reports of successful experiments on BL. what gives?
