Heroin holding in smoke

inhalation hits faster than IV use. your lungs are full of many tiny blood vessels which allows absorption which is quicker than that of other ROA's.

So wrong. IV is the standard by which all other things are measured. Every % of absorbed is in relation to IV. A wanna be mod should know that.

Furthermore onset time is also compared to IV. Lets just think about this logically: blood->brain vs lungs->blood->brain (this is a really really basic summary of the order but helpful for explanation purposes nonetheless).

This misconception came about when some lady professional talked about inhalation being the most effective ROA. Well she was in actuality comparing it to all other ROAs, not IV. Considering IV is the "100%" by which all other %s are derived.

tldr: all BOA %s and onset times are derived using IV as the comparison.
 
^^i think you also need to take into account the amount of time it takes for the drug to travel from your vessel up to your heart, down to your lungs, and finally up to the brain.

A wanna be mod should know that.

Who are you to say what a mod should or shouldn't know? I see you've succumbed to the common misconception that mods are the all-knowing superior beings which can do no wrong. Thank god we have you to critique the credentials of our moderators

Snorting a substance is one of the slowest ROA I believe. It needs to dissolve and permiate through the membrane to the heart to the brain. Smoking would be the fastest simply because what needs oxygen rich blood lIke right now? The brain. Your body isn't going to wait time getting that heroin filled blood to the brain so it doesn't die where as IV has to go through the heart to the lungs then to the brain.

My 2 bits

If I had to fancy a guess it goes

Smoking > IV > snorting > plugging > eating. That's again just my guess based on what needs to happen and what might delay the process

One last edit because there is a question at hand. Holding in the smoke shouldn't make much of a difference. Again it's all about oxygen If it took forever to get to your blood you'd die. Imagine holding in every inhalation to get 80% of the oxygen

if this sounds snotty i dont mean it to be, but how do you know this? is there scientific data youve read backing it up, or is it just your opinion? ive searched high and low for real info about smoking oxycodone, and i cant find anything besides occasional ramblings of.. less than credible sources.. ive become bery particular to this method, i can say i think its probably a lower bioavailability, but definitely hits faster than iv, best way to snap right out of wd. anyhow, ever since i was a teen secretly getting stoned in my room at night, ive made a habit of holding my breathe and exhaling no smoke, which im certain got me more stoned. i debate about the effectivrness with OC, but cant claim to be verysure, i just know for how god damned much i have to pay for it, im not taking any chances wasting any.. but id love to hear any factual data on the matter, not easy to find.



You smoke oxy? You do know how much of an utter waste that is and how damaging it is to your lungs? You're smoking mostly pill binders. You're not going to find data on it because it's sort of common sense.. Hah. Why would anybody do a study on such a preposterous ROA for pills?
