Do you get a better high from snorting opioids than what what you get by swallowing or is it all the same?
 
Certain ones have a quicker onset that way (IR Oxycodone, for example), and some have a better bioavailability (Dilaudid, for example). In general, most pills are not worth snorting, and the ones that are last longer when ingested. It is a practice which is far overrated.

It has been years since I have put anything up my nose.
 
Snorting pills seems to be more of a "recreational" way to take them. Usually low opiate tolerant's could snort to get high.

There usually a better ROA for pills..
 
It depends entirely on the pill in question. Things like oxy have better bio if you eat them, whilst a few opioids have such low oral bioavailability that it is worth snorting them. I'm not going to write you a guide as to which is what, that would only really be constructive insofar as helping you deviate your septum, like the rest of us eejits that hoovered up lines of all errythang.
 
Agreed. It really is going to depend on the bio availability of each drug/pill. Commonly you hear of people snorting oxycodone whereas it has a much better bioavailability when taken orally and is usually a waste of the drug. Some people just have a preference though and will swear by one method or another. You definitely cannot say that one route is better than another in general for all drugs though.
 
Opana / hydromorphone / morphine = always snort/plug/shoot, always eat = hydrocodone/trams/ codeine/methadone ..And also oxycodone could go both ways ( oral has higher b/a BUT snorting has a very decent b/a too and gives u more of a rush / recreational effects plus anything that drips and is swallowed won't be wasted cuz it will have the oral b/a so it's a win win
 
^That is pretty much it, but I think morphine kind of sucks snorted and might be slightly better oral. Similar to oxycodone, it depends how quickly you want to put it in your system. But morphine seems odd because plugging is supposedly much better than snorting. Usually there isn't much variance between plugging and snorting a opiate/opioid, more of a matter of preference. People have different body chemistry, so it can be a matter of pH of the ROA that effects why some people prefer certain methods over others (even when the BA is claimed to be better for another).

Yeah I'd say that's about right.
 
I always snorted my oxycodone, but for me it was more the ritual of crushing and cutting it out. the speed of onset was a plus too. but it definitely shortens the length of time you feel it.
 
Back when those little oxy 10s were around, I would eat one and snort one and be absolutely flying for hours. Somehow I have managed to keep my tolerance on the low side.

When I get those pink opana 10s, I toot 1/4 or 1/2 and do a hydro cwe with 3 or 4 7.5s. Again, glowing for hours.
 
The only pills worth snorting are dilaudid and opana unless you just want a quicker onset with roxicodone. Your body will absorb more of the drug and you will get higher for longer if you just eat oxy/hydro/morphine. That is the best way unless you want to shove them in your ass, then you might want to shove your morphine and dilaudid in there. They say absorption is better this way and onset is almost as fast as snorting.
 
I always snort my blues. I can definitely tell it has less effect than eating them normally but I just prefer the faster onset and the process over eating and waiting.
