Benzos Has anybody noticed benzodiazepine syrups hitting harder than other RoAs for some reason?

Hey guys,

After experiencing the differences between LSD RoAs (liquid eye drops vs gel tabs vs blotter vs sublingual liquid), I've been running through most of the drugs I use and experimenting with different RoAs that I wouldn't have used before.

One thing I noticed that I found really surprising was that benzo tincture in PG seems to consistently elicit weaker effects than dissolving that PG in torani and corn syrup I dyed and made as a goofy bottle of "Etizalean", because I thought it would be funny. It turns out that this requires maybe 1/2-1/3 of the dose to elicit equivalent effects in people, and I'm wondering if it's absorbing differently for some reason. I was wondering if it would crash out into crystals like dropwise PG benzos did, but I noticed that mixing that PG with corn syrup or torani and then mixing at least a couple ounces of syrup into a 24 oz bottle of a soft drink would not cause the crystals to crash out. It seems like there's a threshold where a certain amount of an adequate carrier liquid can make these tinctures somewhat resistant to the crystallization effect of water in the soda I poured that in, for example.

Etizolam in a nasal sprayer had much less effect than oral dosing, even though it seems to be noticed maybe a negligible amount of time quicker. Etizolam in pure ethanol hits FAST, but in everclear or anything with even the tiniest speck of water it crashes out the benzos as a crystal, making accurate dosing a fucking nightmare. Dropping the straight ethanol in my mouth burnt horribly, so I would be quick to lay it on blotter paper I'd printed art on, perforated and flavored myself to make it easier to administer later. I've made a vape cart out of the too but haven't yet had the heart to even try it.

I recently accidentally puffed Deschloroetizolam powder straight into my mouth and the way it made my lips numb was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I didn't black out but it definitely impacted the LSD, CanKet and 25C-NBOMe that I was on at that moment pretty noticeably. This made it profoundly obvious that RoA differences in benzos can make a meaningful difference in my experience, and I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed this? I suspect it's more noticeable with water soluble benzos like Midazolam and Triazolam, but I'm mostly curious about the more accessible ones on the RC market since they exhibit lipophilicity that makes them a waste with many RoAs, unlike the water soluble Midazolam and Triazolam.
 
Yeah well I noticed Etizolam specifically, dissolved in PG… hits like a train after only 5-6 minutes orally. Pills take 30-45 minutes. I have no idea why.
