I know the actual theory, just wanted to know what your experience are?

For me, snorted can come on more quickly and stronger, at first, but the effect seems to taper down quite quick and the whole experience not last as long.

I guess swallowing them is better value for money? I just enjoy snorting them though when I have a large supply.
 
My experience is snorting benzo leads to dimished high for me so I just accept the theory is right and stick to eating/sublingual. IME snorting any benzo is waste, YMMV
 
They come on quick enough as it is swallowed and offer no sort of advantage intranasally. Only other way than oral is the occasional sublingual dose for me.
 
Don't snort them man, it's a waste. I used to sublingual a lot when I first started using, found it hit quicker but the effects were (marginally) shortened. I could be wrong though. I always swallow them now. What benzos are you snorting? I've often wondered if certain benzos with a long onset could be shorted by a different ROA (excluding IV obviously).
 
Unless you have one of the rare water soluble ones there is no point imo.
 
the only benzo that you can use other than orally is midazolam which is soluble in water and therefore IV'able and where I am at, extremely popular. There are people from neighbor countries that come here strictly as drug tourists to go to some doctor to get 6 packs of midazolam (60 tabs) which they then IV with their drug of choice which ironically is bupe, one of the drugs meant for you to stay OFF opiates. Yet each day young people are found with bupe overdoses helped by IV'ing midazolam at the same time just to get a longer nod.
 
To Black53 who made a "benzos cant be snorted because they aren't water soluble" response....

Well European Heroin base is insoluble in water and I bet theres ppl snorting it now.

Water solubility really has nothing to do with it. Most Benzos (diazepam for example) are lipophilic (fat soluble) and easily cross the mucus membranes of the nose.(and under the tongue or in the anus)

Just with oral administration near 100% b/a doesn't really make it worth it.also most benzo tabs weigh 200 mgs or so with 1-2 mgs of benzodiazepines with the rest being binders and fillers.

I have snorted pure benzo powders with good results. Hell I even vaporize pure alprazolam when I have it. To the OP yes benzos can be snorted but imho they are best enjoyed sublingually.
