I have a bunch of Concerta at the moment and I was curious if it was possible to snort. I've read that it gels up in your nose and gets very uncomfortable. However, does this only happen when you just crush up the whole pill, or does it still happen if properly extract the methylphenidate from all the time release stuff? It's obvious to me that crushing up the whole thing and snorting it would be a horrible idea, but would it work if I removed the outer coating, the wax coating underneath, and the sponge part of the time release mechanism and then crushed the methylphenidate that's left? I kinda want to give it a try, but I don't want my nose to feel like it's full of rubber cement. So what do you guys think?
 
Here is the best thread regarding concerta around.

First off, don't just 'remove' the outer coating because that has 22% of the methylphenidate in it. To get to the inner MPH, you'll have to use a knife or razor blade and carefully cut the inner coating off. The dark half is inactive, its like a sponge that expands and pushed the rest out.

I've cut the inner coating off and crushed and tried to insufflate the white and yellow layers (on the 36mg) and that still gets horribly so yes, you would have to fully extract it so be able to snort it.

I'd usually just drop the pills in water or under my tongue to dissolve the outer layer so its not wasted.
 
Ahh, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the information though. And Cane, I actually realize that the outer layer contains some of the drug but I wouldn't dream of putting that up my nose. I guess I'll just stick to chewing them.
