Harm Reduction Saving and 'reusing' post-insufflated material

[UnspokenVoice]

^Hold on...picking your nose and eating it because there is still drugs stuck up in the snot is more gross to you than saving a hardened mix of snot and drugs that accumulated from your post nasal drip, then saving enough over a week to break it down into a new line to snort? I don't see the rationale in that thought at all.

No, re-read my post. Note: "...so I suppose it could be worse."

Back on topic...I wasn't saying to rinse / extract it, rather douse it and dry the whole slurry out, at the very least. I'll admit I had to do that once for something that fell on the floor. Lucky for my nose that was a rather clean floor...that is all.

I'd still wonder/worry if it dissolved any of the drugs away. In this case it's not like it's a whole pill, it's already been crushed up which is going to expose more surface area and iso-prop is used in a number of extractions. So, depending, it could also be eradicating some fillers or just fillers and help. I'd just want to know if it's going to weaken the mix further.

He's saying put the drugs in an amount of isopropyl alcohol, and then dump the alcohol on a plate or something to let it evaporate.


OP, gross as hell. I'd take the hint from the first time it didn't dissolve in my nose to leave it alone. I mean I pick/snot rocket in the shower or in the bathroom sometimes, but I don't eat or snort my boogers :S drugs or no drugs.

This is what you wrote: "And, for the record, you're the first person I've heard of doing this though I've known two that will straight up pick their noses and eat it like they're kids. So, well, you're not doing that so I suppose it could be worse. "

The way I read this it implies you think picking you nose and eating it on the spot is worse than what the OP is doing.

As long as you wash your hands after it isn't really gross, we are eating ounces of snot a day, it drips back into our mouths. Don't see the big deal.

Also, OP, I think this is a bit excessive of a process. What you are collecting is probably more filler than what originally went up, since the active ingredient is absorbed and leaves the fillers. Sure some actives are probably in that hardened powder that drips down, but its weaker and IME you'd have to save like a weeks worth of it to get a medium dose (as a person who snorts like 6-7 times a day my DOC). Might as well just scrape it out and eat it, the oxy is fine BA-wise orally, so there you go. Theoretically you could get the exact same results as this using a match head sized bump out of every line, and not have to save what drips out of your nose, but rather ingest it on the spot.

I reckon your bioavailabilty yield may increase slightly if you were to plug the dried snot etc, so that the body will completely absorb the (ugh) snot etc

I know! It sickens me to actually do the deed mate, but when there's drugs there, and you're already in a compulsive stimulated mindset...

Haha, drug charged manic snot licking ! ha, Qaulity ..

I would think that the membranes in your nose already absorbed most of the active ingredient in the drugs, the rest would be mostly waste. You may get some effects from this, but I just don't think the harvest is worth the work (and sheer nastiness ha!)

Exactly. I know the OP calls it chunks of pill, but its a little different than that because I get he same effect and I know what causes it. The stuff goes up and sicks there for a while, as you nasal membranes absorb the actives, then your membranes created post nasal drip to wash out the other stuff and it drips down your nose and ends up drying in chunks at the bottom the the nasal passageway. I mean you can pick that stuff out and eat it and clearly taste some active in it, at least with oxycodone IME, but I figure that stuff has been sapped of the majority of its power.

But if it gets the OP high I guess its somewhat worth the trouble. But I would think you'd need a much larger line to get the desired effects as a fresh pill. If you need anything more than 30 mg of(we'll say oxycodone IRs as they are the most commonly insufflated pills) then you are saving a lot of that stuff.

Ah - I missed your point and yeah, it's gross as in I don't have to see him when he does his little thing where I witness the other, if that makes sense. In other words, yes - I think picking and eating is grosser than saving and snorting again later.

Don't fret its a very common practice and I have seen many people do it. Even if they thought they were all nonchalant and incognito, I try my best not to bust anyone out unless need be. To each his own. There are loads of people who still succumb to elementary habits, least its with a possible prize inside to boot!



OP- I must say that IMO the harvesting of moist residual pieces coated in snot and dried is nothing I could enjoy, why not just enjoy it fresh and not risk losing potency?

 

[Salute my shorts]

Do you actually feel anything when you do this or is it more of a mental thing?

 

[usedtobe]

Oh my...I think I've heard everything now. I am strictly an IV user...to think of resnorting one's own boogers...ugh...and I thought needles were bad...ugh how gross...but it made me laugh!

 

[balcony]

I don't think it's disgusting at all. I think you have just figured out a method to reduce the TCO in regards to snorting chemicals. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a flush as UnspokenVoice recommended.
