I was a big time Oxy head before I got on Methadone, and still take Oxy but not nearly as much as before.
I also take the 30mg Oxy's. I still have a very good amount of the 30s, exactly like the ones in my avatar right now, those are by far my favorite, K-9's. They have an affect just as good as the M 30's, but the K-9's are smaller, the smaller the pill, the better imo, esp. when they have the same exact mg.
anyway's back on topic.
I've tried snorting Oxy just a few times, and honestly I didn't like the effects. I don't like how they clog up my nose, and they don't last nearly as long as taking them orally IME.
The only upside it had to taking them orally was, it hit a just a bit faster, that's all.
But what need for that when the Oxy I'm taking was IR anyways?
The BA of Oxycodone is best when taking orally (besides IV of course).
So IMO, you get the bigger bang for your buck by taking it orally.
The BA of Oxycodone is -
IV- 100%
Oral- 67-90%
Snort- 47-59%
Smoke- 12-22%
So, there you go.
Some people say snorting Oxy produces a great rush, and honestly, IME I've never got that rush from snorting them.
I take them orally, and I get a better rush from oral than to snort them. They also last way longer as you already know.
I'd only say your tolerance might go up a bit faster snorting them because they don't last as long as taking them orally, and you'll need more Oxy if you snort them. Just for the time duration.
