Well, opiate naive might be a stretch - more like opiate-reformed. I used to have a truly epic habit, but got 3 years clean, then a year chipping, followed by - currently - a few months clean. So I essentially have no tolerance currently. A friend gave me a 15 mg Opana (moon on it). I have never taken Opana before, all I know is that it is wicked strong. I do not shoot or snort, so what amount could I safely swallow without ODing? I've checked equiv charts and get too many different answers to feel safe trusting any of them.
 
10mg of oxymorphone (Opana) = 40mg oxycodone = ~70mg morphine.

Opiate naive, I'd recommend being very cautious with using opioids with the potency of oxymorphone, so I'd suggest <5mg's insufflated.
 
Oxymorphone has an extremely low oral BA, 15mg oral will be like snorting 3mg, or shooting 1.5mg, you should be able to take it orally without any problems because of this, you may not even get very high(but will have an ok buzz). Honestly, even though this goes against harm reduction, I'd suggest you snort it, break it up into 4-5 lines and start with one. Oxymorphone has a really small therapeutic window, the range between getting high and puking for hours is really small, so take it slow if you decide to take it any other way than oral. You could try plugging it, oxymorphone is great plugged, if you go this route I wouldn't start with anymore than 2.5mg at first and see where that gets you.
