Two hours does seem short when talking about it but I feel if I can get whatever I want done in that amount of time, it isn"t necessarily a drawback. Two hours is only the peek (which can actually sometimes last up to three hours) and you still have an hour or two to come back to baseline.
Liking or disliking is of course a matter of personal taste, but I suppose there's still no valid research as to the potenial health risks of IV'ing over oral ingestion? What are the chances, if sensible doses are used, that injecting would be more lethal then ingesting orally? A part from codeine, I've never heard of that being the case, although I've never really looked into it. Of interest also are peak plasma levels and risks of overdose, can these be avoided (to the extent of oral consumption) with correct dosage?
As always, research is lacking with these chemicals, but it seems to me to be a shame to avoid these (incredible) experiences due to speculation. I understand that this is a harm reduction forum, and that the general advice is most likely "if you don't know what it might be doing to you, don't do it", but in the realm of RCs, I don't think anyone knows what they're really doing to you, and it seems to me that there would be know reason to expect increased risk when the IV route is chosen (with proper dosage and knowledge of injection techniques (sterility, micron filter...).
