i usualy clear buggers. put water in... dry it off.. snort.. put water.. dry off.. snort.. ect.

any tips. or info thanks guys.

No, a wet nose is required to dissolve the active ingredients and bring them into your bloodstream.

Excessive mucus is bad, but a little bit of moisture is fine.
 
for me i just make sure my nose is basically clear of mucus (blow nose if need be).. snort the DOC and then after a minute or two snort some warm/hot water from the faucet out of the palm of my hand.
This may be just tradition or in my head (placebo) but i seem to get better effects if i snort water after than if i don't.
 
Nice info guys..

Any other "rituals" Every day snorters use for most effect?

what about putting the straw super far up..

And btw. guys its like i have a really light thin snot in my nose.. no madder what i do... mother fucker doesnt come out.. q tip.. q tip... feel inside my nose again. its wet..

teh fawk...

oh and water solution thing? that you were talking about.. is that where you put the rit in it. and put it in your nose every time you want the effects?

any info on that. and how it works ect.
 
it does when you have a nose full of snot.

when your nose is clear like in a normal life situation, then i don't use saline. only if my nose feels TOO dry. which it rarely does.

A lot of the time I am stuffed up though and no matter how many times I blow my nose I still feel stuffed up. :S

So I'd just say fuck it and snort anyways and felt much better =D

This is natural mucus bro and its a good thing you have it!
 
Yeah, I agree that the NetiPot process feels a bit strange at first, but I'm totally sold on the effects. My nose feels so much less sensitive, clogged, bloody since I've been rinsing it with my NetiPot. When I was much younger, we used to snort meth and coke and we'd always do water blasts. A Neti-Pot is so much easier than a water blast and you can use salt water that approximates the saltiness of tears. That makes it much less irritating to the nose.

I sometimes snort my low daily dose of Methadone. (Very rarely, actually, because I have concerns about talc in the lungs) I usually do this if I need to get out of sickness quickly. Oral ROA for methadone can take 2-3 hours even if you suck on the pill 'til it's powder.

This below is about methadone and ROAs. Feel free to skip:

Also, I find that if I take my dose orally, unless I plan my day right with lots of activity and tea/coffee, I'll just fall asleep.

I prefer to be up and motivated and doing things, so I snort it, and that seems to give me the effect I want. The downside to the quick comeup is that a snorted dose lasts maybe 2/3 as long as an oral dose. And that's a big difference. I'm not sure about the duration. I'll have to find the JH paper. Anyway, I can't do it more than 2x a week. When I was younger, I knew people who had those fucking park-your-Bitchen-Camaro garage-sized nostrils and that image kind of stuck with me.

It's too bad. Nasal ROA works great for methadone IME and I read a paper out of Johns Hopkins, I believe, that compared rate of onset, hours in system, etc. between different versions of methadone (liquid, wafer, tabs). The study also confirmed my experience of a nasal dose lasting about 2/3-3/4 as long as an oral dose. The study concluded that methadone worked extremely well via nasal ROA and that drug companies should look into manufacturing. (But the Puritans ain't gonna let that happen any time soon. We want our done-taking underclass to be slow and unmotivated and ignorant. That is all.)

However, I was pleased to find the study (I believe I found it on BL but I may be wrong). And I am going to make nasal spray next script and see how it works.If I recall the paper correctly, I think the nasal ROA had a BA of 86-90% I could be wrong, but it was quite close to those figures. If the method caused me to lose significant drugs I wouldn't have pursued it, so I think that's probably an accurate figure.

This isn't a done thread, but I'll go search my archives and post the paper and relative BAs in the correct forum.

Back on topic: NetiPots are really amazing. And they're cheap. I bought one at the local Co-op Organic market thingey, and it was about $8.
 
I use a NeilMed which is a similar concept to a Neti Pot, but it's a high-pressure water bottle and it clears the sinus out very well. I do that once or twice a day.

I have awful seasonal allergies and the medications I take to relieve the symptoms dries my mucous membranes out quite a bit, and give me nosebleeds. I find that after I snort a pill, or heroin, if I wait a few minutes and then cup one of my hands and turn on the faucet and get a bit of water and snort it, it absorbs extremely well.

A "wet" nose is definitely better for absorbing drugs than a dry one, trust me.
 
Well.. I usually feel effects most. when i get the burn.. (gently scraping the inside of my nose ect.) after i do that. the burn is nice. eyes water a tiny bit even. and it is alot stronger.. any info as to why that happends. o.o
 
just a lil tip to those who dont have a netipot and want to use somethin layin around... What ive done plenty times before.. is get the squirt waterbottles (the Smart water ones = best ) And Burn the Nosle thing And kinda pus it on something hard
to make it smaller and smooth
 
Glad to see so many people are catching on to moistening their nasal passages. I personally prefer to make a nasal spray as that coats the nasal passages more completely than could be done by snorting, and has the added benefit of not allowing powder to enter the lungs. Another alternative with the same effects is to moisten the nasal passages and blow the powder up the nose with something like a bendy straw. There's a thread around here somewhere of the bendy straw technique.
 
Well Theres about 50mg of it already crushed ina container... the problem is i dont wanna do the water extraction. is that manditory
 
arent you talking about where you have to put the crushed pill ina nasal thing and just put the water in that in your nose?? i thought thwere was an extraction step to it
 
^Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It doesn't require an extraction but since you only have 50mg it probably isn't worth making a solution. Next time you have a bunch of whatever laying around, it's not a bad idea though. For now, just make sure your nose is moist and either snort or blow up there with a straw IMO.
 
yea i just snorted some. and a cloud of white dust came out mouth.. .... now that i think about it it happends every now n then.. my lungs are prolly fucked
