if you're insufflating, do stomach contents matter?

since it's not going through the stomach i guess it doesn't matter, but i'm also guessing it's more complicated than that.

To some extend is stomach content still of importance. I remember that eg. snorted cocaine is absorbed only partially in the mucous membrane of the nose, while a large portion (ca. 1/3 IIRC) gets simply swallowed and is absorbed in the intestines. For the latter portion is stomach content still deciding with regard to bioavailability and speed of onset.

With snorting, a small amount of the substance will eventually make it into the stomach and be absorbed that way. The amount depends on many of factors, including what substance you're working with.

So yes, stomach contents matter, but the amount they matter is quite variable.
