Buccal?...

[ronthetiger]

So I just finished completing the "Inflexxion Servery" Bluelight has been promoting as a banner for a while now, and one of the questions it asked me was:

"What methods of administration have you tried before? Please Check all that apply...
Oral
Chewing the pill
Snorting
Parachuting
IV
IM
Sublingual
Buccal
Rectal"

Does anyone know what on earth "buccal administration" is?... Google claims it has something to do with your cheek, but I am unsure of how exactly the method is executed or how it may differ than sublingual administration.

Buccal administration has similar effects to sublingual - it's when you put the pill or whatever between your cheek & gums rather than under your tongue.

I have come to the safe conclusion that most drugs work much better IV'd or insufflated than sublingual or buccal (lol)

That's ironic, since IV is not exactly "safe" . For future reference it's not ok to mention/suggest injection when someone was not even asking about it. As for what ROA is best, even solely effects-wise, it really depends on the drug, it is definitely not true that snorting or injecting are better for all drugs or even "most" drugs - there are a lot of different kinds of drugs out there.
