Railing is a much more complicated process than most people think it is. Here's a few pointers on how to get the most of your snorting experience. Please feel free to add to this.
What to use: Just holding your nose up to the powder isn't the most practical way. It's best to use a narrow tube. What I did was take a plastic pen (transparent ones are the coolest), that you can dissasemble. Take out everything and keep the plastic shell of the ink container. Get some kind of serrated blade and cut it down to a reasonable size. Mine is about the length of my pinky. It obviously needs to be open on both ends. Make sure the edges are smooth so they don't scrape the insides of your nose.
Technique You must first check which one of your nostrils is more open. You are only breathing fully through one nostril at the time, and they alternate over time. So close nostril, breathe, then close the other one and breathe again. The one that pulls more air through is the one you want to be snorting with.
Next you want to prepare your substance. Make sure it's as fine as possible (assuming it's powder, not liquid), with no chunks or beads. Preferably put it on the a smooth surface. You can make lines if you'd like so you can do it all up in one motion . Insert your snortube into the proper nostril, hold shut the other nostril, hold other end of snortube to substance, and breathe in lightly. If you do it too hard it will go too far back and just drip down your esophagus. If you do it too lightly it may fall out of your nose or not get deep enough to get absorbed.
Right after it's done, DO NOT exhale through your nose. That may also cause it to fall out. Exhale through your mouth and wait for the come-up or at least the onset which is close to immediate anyway. You may also want to snort a few drops of water, after washing your hands or something. It can aid absorption.
To crush pills, the quickest way is to use a pill crusher - captain.Heroin. But as Johnny blue reported, a cheese grate may be even better. You can end up with powder almost the consistency of confectionary sugar.
Safety
be aware that many diseases can be transfered through nasal fluids. ---> dont use bills (tubes and so on...) that have been going through x hands/noses. the best is to have your own private "snorting-tube" - brainbug
You do not want to do large amounts at a time. It may clog, and make you unable to breath through your nose or the septum and waste a large amount. The substance, more or less with what kind, will most likely rape and burn your nostrils by activating pain receptors. You most definately do not want to be snorting things like methadone or cheese, because those can be extremely painful. Some substances like pregabalin (lyrica) have an almost non-existant burn. Snuff can be quite painful.
It is reccomended to take a 72 hour break between sessions to let your nose recover. Doing it too often may damage the lining in your nose, causing nose bleeds, infections, and eventually your nose will fall off
There may also be some damage to olfactory receptors, so your sense of smell would become dulled.
Other tips
- Morphine has a very poor bioavailability when snorted (10-20%), but when combined with chitosan (a linear polysaccharide available in supplement form) can raise the bioavailability to over 60%.
- Avoid railing street drugs unless it's from a trusted source. Some asshole may decide to cut it with fiberglass or something for the lulz.
- Black tar heroin can be made snortable by cutting it with sugar or some other powdery substance, after dissolving the tar in a tiny amount of liquid such as water. It can also be snorted in it's liquid form, with an eyedropper, and can be contained in those dropper bottles along with the dropper as the lid. It will save you the time of waiting for it to dry and probably absorbs much better.
- Cocaine, while being good snorted, actually has a much greater bioavailability and rush when freebased.
- Hydromorphone and oxymorphone are best insufflated, if you don't have needles.
List of snortable substances:
- Cocaine - 30-60% bio
- Opiates -
- Derivatives or analogues of morphine and codeine (includes some forms of heroin)
- Piperidine derivatives (like sufentanyl) - nasal bio around 78%. Reccomended to be extremely careful due to the high potency.
- Some lipid soluble benzodiazepines like Midazolam and Clonazepam (klonopin)
- Amphetamines - be sure to crush all the beads if you're using pharmaceutical amps. nasal bio is 75% for amps, 79% for [+]methamp
- Ketamines - 25-50% nasal bio vs 20±7% oral
- Snuff tobacco
List of non-snortable drugs
- Tramadol (ultram) - very poor nasal bioavailability
- Methadone class compounds - only because they're extremely painful
- Zolpidem (ambien) - Can be snorted, but very painful. Not reccomended
- Diphenhydramine - House is an idiot for doing it. Burns, and not worth the effort.

- BaybeXClean out your nose after using. I like to using Saline nasal spray throughout my day/night of snorting drugs. I really can't stress this enough.. I have been snorting drugs (oxycodone daily for 9 months and coke off/on for a few months) and have a dent/hole forming in my septum.
+ If you are using straws to snort your drugs, I suggest changing them out every once in a while.. Bacteria will grow on anything- so just buy a box of straws and use a new one every now and again.
+ Keep in mind, a cut straw = paraphernalia. Dispose of all pieces of straws or whatever else might look like an aide in snorting as you could be charged for possession of drug paraphernalia.. plus if a cop sees a straw in your car he will have a reason to search your vehicle.
