Druggist said:I also do not agree with those numbers 100%. They may be a good guide for most people, but everyone is different and drugs do not effect everyone the same way.
I think that nasal oxy is much more than 50% because of the drip. While only 50% may be absorbed in the nose during the initial use of the drug, over the next hour the rest of the drug that isnt absorbed is slowly dripping down the back of the users throat and going into the stomach where it will then be absorbed by the stomach.
The difference between the two methods has more to do with quickness of onset and duration of effects than with potency. Some people want some sort of rush so they go with nasal usage, of course this doesnt compare with the rush of IV but many people don't want to use needles. The problem is that the high lasts about half as long as it does when taken orally. I personally like to mix the two methods. I take about 75% of my dose orally and then about 30 minutes later I insufflate the other 25%.
I agree with most of what you said. However, snorting does actually get you higher, albeit for a shorter amount of time. Your liver is constantly filtering the drug out of your bloodstream. The faster you can get a drug into your bloodstream, the higher the peak plasma concentration of oxycodone will be, and therefore you will get higher. The problem is that you blow our wad all at once instead of it absorbing slowly via the oral route, and therefore the peak plasma plummets much sooner and you come down.
