ROA Myths

[hydroazuanacaine]

Not enough for you to feel it. One example of a drug that is not water soluble is Alprazolam (Xanax) and people still snort it (only to find that it doesn't get them high any quicker than eating the pill or plugging it).

eh, that is perpetuating the myth. you feel it. and faster. but is it worth it? not with xanax. though i have never snorted xanax, so i have no idea. to be honest, i don't even know that it will hit you faster. i know nothing of blowing xanax. i imagine. i know triazolam hits you about in 1/3 of the time if you blow it though (which is such a small amount of time. comparable with real coke). is it worth it? not in my opinion. does it happen? yes. is it the drip? if you have done it, you know the answer is no. i am not positive, but i believe it has to do with lipid solubility. there is no way i am going to argue this in this thread though. i have already posted selections of med journals in several topic specific threads.

Definitely not worth it with Xanax since oral BA is so high and also the fact that it's not lipid/water soluble. I've been on Xanax for close to 5 years and at one point I did experiment with snorting a crushed amount of my Rx, needless to say, whatever I snorted eventually ended up in my stomach rather than directly into my bloodstream through my mucus membranes.

Anyway I think I better stop as I'm kinda going off topic from what this thread is supposed to be about.

Same with the base form (crack). It's ineffective because the vapourisation point is so close to the burning temperature.

Huh? Smoking crack works all to well.

Huh? Smoking crack works all to well.

My understanding is that the burning and vaporisation temps with the salt are too close together, so you end up destroying a lot of it instead of smoking it. With crack/base the two points are further apart so you can smoke it without destroying it.

im old school...im into swallowing pills. at times crusing them up and parachuting them for faster onset but for the most part, i like all my pills taken the way they were meant. also, some druges, like tramadol and codeine for example, need to be broken down by the liver into their *much* more active metabolites, so snorting them is really a waste. empty stomach always helps out too, though ive read oxy BA is increased something like 27% after a high fat meal. odd. last time i had an OC i did the usual scraping of coating and crumbled and parachuted...half hour later was out of my mind. as for plugging, well...im not a fan of going in the exit, but to each their own. be safe.

the thing is would useing a pipe and weed with the coaine make it more smokeable?

 

[phatass]

you CAN smoke cocaine Hcl, it simply has a very low BA, you're far better off doing an acetone wash and freebasing it

While some will get wasted by smokeing hcl; it can still produce really good effects with just a little pinch or two. I used a pipe that had a metal bowl with a skrew on cover that had a little hole and I would just hover the flame on top of the hole.
