Here’s a Harm Reduction post for today..
I’ve snorted a lot of drugs in my day and over the years my nose has taken a beating. Early on I had no problem snorting the tiny bumps of K I very occasionally sniff. As the years have gone on however that’s changed.
My left nostril is callous from years of overuse, seems like there ain’t much membrane left for hitting up there. My right nostril can occasionally work but is usually stuffed up.
If I do get a decent sniff up and it doesn’t all run back, I then deal with sinus issues for days after from one tiny bump.
All this has pushed me to try alternative routes of administration. I’ve done IV which was ok at the dosages I use but I try to avoid needles these days. Next I looked at other ROA’s. It seems oral is 20% with a high metabolism to norKet. Sublingual and rectal are 30% with less norKet. Insufflated is 45% with MUCH less norKet.
I first went with my typical snorted dose Buccal. This worked ok but felt Buccal was too slow of dissolve for it to work properly.
Next I took some crystals uncrushed (the tiny needle like ones, albeit this batch are slightly larger than usual and also seems very pure) and used a bit more than normal for snorted. Dropped them in as is under my tongue for sublingual route.
Now this was much more in line with what I was looking for.. Keeping the crystals uncrushed allowed for slower dissolution while the wetter more vein heavy under tongue area didn’t allow for any to just sit there like with Buccal.
The experience was a bit different, still not quite as recreational euphoric but good enough. The biggest downside obviously being the taste. That said, I just can’t deal with the sinus issues anymore so this ROA is a win for me. Not dealing with that this morning was just wonderful.
Also strangely I feel less bladder symptoms than normal. I’m highly susceptible to bladder issues from K, but no increase in frequency or other weird anomalies.. I was expecting more if anything.
I’ll make sure to update this after I’ve given this ROA a fair shake. Definitely going to be my go to. Also bioavailability seems right based on the research, use 50% more than a snorted dose.
