I've been eating patches for quite awhile, I never knew you could smoke the gel, I always thought such high temperatures would breakdown the chemical compisition and destroy the drug, learn something new every day anyone have a link on the proper way to do this?
You shouldn't have too much of a withdrawl for only doing it for a week, but once ur body is used to it, withdrawls are horrid, I found using half one day, other half the next, and cutting to smaller amounts from there was the best for me.
Also the new breed of patches is on the market, created to deter consumption of the gel, a 5 MG patch /50 micro an hr is about the size of a Now and Later candy, as thin as a clear nicotine patch, and contains no gel at all, just a compressed film of fentanyl.
