interested to know any similarities to others in the drug world. The taste/aroma you get in your throat or nose when IV'ing. I lost my sense of smell for other reasons so this was still interesting for me.
The 3 most common for me- amphets, cocaine & opiates
Im from Oz so..

Amphetamines/meth - Its more a feeling ov something travelling in my throat, best description is 'medical, menthol & fresh cool'...

Cocaine - I cant really remember, I only recall a weird kinda numbness, but there was a taste too & it was mildly pleasant, as if it belonged. Don't know why I'm thinking ov bread, it can't have tasted like bread!

Heroin - Sweet taste in the throat, sweet aroma in the nose, best description.. flowers or roses. I hated it my first time, I could have mistaken it for a nose/internal head bleed, but it grew on me over time, I've IV'd enough heroin ov different sources to otherwise suspect the gear cut with sugar or sumthn.. nah.

Ketamine - Cold & numb, I can only think ov the taste as "subtly sweet, icy".

MDMA - Cant really remember, I could probably associate it with Amphs + some weird static energy. Very nice still

---MISTAKES--- (don't do it)
Suboxone - slightly similar to the taste when ingested oral, except not as sweet. The more I IV'd it, the more pronounced that citrusy flavour came, I love citrus fruits, but this taste is best described as "highly unpleasant medicinal citrus", my saliva is watering up as if I'm about to dry heave as I typed the description ov this taste. pure awful.
I think this could have been the turning point to me appreciating the taste ov heroin, appreciating its harmony with my body.

Methadone (liquid) - Sweet, but only coz I suspect it was cut with lime green cordial/syrup. Very stupid! After the weird taste, I did get mild effects, warm etc, but my lungs wtf.. it felt like I had fungus growing in there, every breath I took, there would be a lil breeze ov raw mushroom circulating in my chest. ERGH..
 
I dont taste Oxy or Dilaudid when i IV them but i do taste H. it taste just like how it would taste if i put a little of the powder on my tongue

oh I forgot to mention downer pillz, To me they are a very mild version ov my Heroin description. But thats funny how the powder tastes the same to you IV & orally.
For me, Heroin on the tongue tastes very bitter, the more bitter the better. But if I tasted that in an IV.. haha YUCK!
 
I definitely get a taste. i love it bc it usually means im getting a good high. why does it happen bc isn't the h in my bloodstream?

Any guesses?
 
Of course you get a taste when you IV most drugs; especially good quality cocaine. I think with dope (heroin) it depends on the cut. I always remember New York dope being cut with quinine and I really grew to love that taste cause it usually meant the dope was gonna be pretty good.

One time I had a medical procedure where they anesthetized me and I tasted the drug (whatever it was) before I went to sleep
 
The same thing when you taste saline when they clear your IV with it in the hospital. the solution being injected is traveling thru your entire blood stream. there are thousands of tiny veins in the body, including them mouth and tongue. of course when the drug travels thru the tiny veins in your tongue, its gonna activate taste buds. simple explanation
 
yes!!! if you were to eat about 500 peppermint altoids all at once and chew them up is my description of a good shot of ice. its so menthol, eucalyptus cool.
 
not iv, but each time i tried PEA i would get a funny taste at the back of my throat. It was part of the high and i loved it.
