METH: Smoking vs. snorting

[Keif' Richards]

We actually are completely aware of Methamphetamine and its bioavailability. Think about smoking a but, it hits you quick. You can chew tobacco, but that's not as "intense".

9/10 Whom I know that changed to smoking. It truly is a lot like crack. People take hits every 15 minutes... from a drug that lasts at least 8 hours.

I advise against but speed really isn't my thing. This is mostly here say.

I would smoke more often than not when i was younger, but never objected to snorting it either. Now its basically my only ROA .
Loooonger noticeable effects and none of that fiendy compulsion to keep doing more like with smoking.
Unless you're fresh from a good long break or a new user The ceiling effect comes fast and after half a bowl (setting aside many other factors) each subsequent hit just leaves me feeling more and more spun out and brain locked/paranoid. The crash, i always felt was disproportionately worse, too.
Smoking just doesnt do it for me anymore, for whatever reason. Im on 50mg Zoloft as well, so maybe thats the issue, idk.

Good day to all! A few questions:

1)Is there a difference in the high you get from snorting meth vs. smoking meth?.

2)If so, what is the high like?.

3)Which method do you prefer better?.

4)In which method does the high last longer?

5)Any other comments you'd like to add?.

thanks

1) Snorting meth is maybe a litle harder hitting at first because when I snort meth I snort far more than I would take in a single hit smoking. Dose carefully, never load more than you'd smoke in a single sitting - and not the whole session just what'd you'd smoke to start first sitting.

Otherwise, it's maybe a little less euphoric/intense but it's definitely a smoother ride and longer lasting in my experience. Here's an entire study on the bioavailabilities of meth in intranasal vs smoked vs IV. Interesting stuff.

Sci-Hub | The bioavailability of intranasal and smoked methamphetamine. Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 74(5), 475–486 | 10.1016/j.clpt.2003.08.002

2) The high is pretty similar either way with slight differences in intensity and duration. More energy, euphoria, focus (or hyperfocus + sidetracked all the time "tweaking"), mind expansion, increase in physical ability, increased interest, etc etc.

That's a good buzz. It can go different ways too up to and including pure depression/psychosis/trainweck.

3) Snorting is quicker, no smoke in the air, less fiendy because you do a line and you're done. It burns like fuck though. I usually prefer to smoke but snorting is superior is many ways. I just like "blowing clouds". I obsess over the pipe. Quick bump off the hand sure is handy though in a "pinch".

4) Snorting, in my opinion. At the very least you'll spend a lot less time getting high and a lot more time BEING high.

5) Snort it. Pipe obsession is a bitch and it's easy to fuck up too. Quicker, more discreet, no confusion whether you're doing it the best you can, etc.

It burns like fuck though.

The burn is honestly one of the best parts of snorting the stuff.

The biggest drawback for me is the drip. Once it starts coming i can't relax until i brush my teeth or rinse with something. The bitterness is bad enough but all i can focus on is the stuff getting all over my teeth and fucking them up.

I've started to think the same way about my veins - meth is so fucking corrosive its insane to put into any part of you.

It's bad but i think i might be over thinking it a bit because i've always been ocd about my teeth.
Ive come to realize the stuff isn't nearly as caustic as I was lead to believe way back when. Probably not much more than any food grade salt.
What it does do though is give you dry mouth, and thats really what leads to the tooth decay.

1) Assuming equal strength, snorting gives a better surge yet takes longer, I feel the hit of a puff straight after finishing a bowl and snorting seems to take longer

2) Better smoking and if with others we feel it at same time, both methods are "more-ish" so temptation to consume more to achieve a bigger high is there in both

3)smoking

4)smoking


5)iv high is incomparable to either and won't be felt in same way, better off not injecting as it really is far too addictive.

 

[✿Dai₷y✿]

which is better for your health snorting or smoking?

Out of this two probably snorting as you'll know earlier if you've started causing damage to your endothelial lining from nose bleeds I think.

Boofing it seems the least risky as your rectum is made for absorbing rather than your nose and no loss from gastric juices.

It's not healthy as you will know but most fun things aren't...Lol.

Snorting has a more Euphoric effect with me (Depending on the Meth quality). Smoking it for me is a more focused high. More as if you're looking to beat your tally whacker, snorting is the way to go

& I don't see how people can OD on Meth. I get good shit, & I can snort a freight train and still be okay.... Everyone is built different this I know, but if you're new to it I can see heart rate issues... Other than that, Like I said... Kinda hard to OD on... You rarely hear of people ODing on Meth.. Layne Staley did from Alice In Chains (My Favorite band)

 

[opiatekrzy]

Hahha! Smoking is more for sex sessions and complete perverted porn session for hours on end

I thought he was speedballing and surrounded by paint cans so maybe huffing too? Regardless, he was a chronic and extreme addict who'd used a ton crack, heroin (and you say meth too) for years on end without any cash or supply issue. His body was giving out completely and he would've died anyway most likely , weighed 85lbs at 6'1". Didn't have control of his bowels anymore to illustrate how hard he did himself in.

Just wondering where you read or heard there was meth involved, Im a fan too, and I haven't seen anything towards that.

Not from snorting or smoking maybe but you can feel the limit being reached by IV and also by plugging if you go to hard. I can imagine an OD from either of those methods for someone with not much tolerance.
