I was wondering if I should snort or orally take about 5mg of opana.
Which would be more affective?
I don't have a tolerance.
 
By the way....snorting Opana is very dangerous because of the silica it contains. this is known to cause severe damage to your lungs and nasal passage ways...and if I remember correctly, it could even lead to certain diseases such as cancer(I could be wrong on the type of disease but I now its very harmful and causes some form of a disorder).
 
If you have the opana IR, then you can make a safe(er) nasal spray by micron filtering the solution.
I know the opana ER gels up, so I am not sure of how that would work using that method.
 
^as far as i know it's the ER version that contains silicified microcrystalline cellulose, which can be filtered out in a solution. in OPANA ER insuffalation and Silicosis <--- that thread raybeez suggests using a 0.8 - 1.0 micron filter to filter out SMC. it's a good thread, have a read.

i'm not sure whether the IR version includes it as a filler. a quick google for the ingredients would answer that.

to the OP - if you do go ahead using the opana having little to no tolerance it is imperative to have a sober friend/sitter with you incase the shit hits the fan and the emergency services need to be called. this isn't a scare tactic i'm trying to pull. opana is an extremely potent opioid and couple that with a naive user, the chances of an OD increase. tread extremely carefully with it.

do you have to jump straight into opana - assuming you've never used before? why not start out with a weaker opiate/oid to get a feel for this class of drugs.

i'm not going to merge this anywhere until we know what version the OP is using; the extended release or instant release?

Definitely snort Opana. You get 40% of the pill by snorting.

If you orally take the pill, like it's "supposed to" be taken. You only get ~10% of it.

So if you normally pop four 40mg opana pills down your throat, orally, like you're "supposed to." It would be equal to snorting one 40mg opana.

If you snort Opana, MAKE SURE TO TAKE OFF EVERY LAST BIT OF THE COATING, and DO NOT GET WET OR ANY MOISTURE NEAR IT. It will gel the powder up and be 100% unusable.

Good luck RocketMan, let me know if you have any more questions.
 
How dangerous the ER's are for your lungs is widely debateable.

IMO snort all the way, but you should know that there are some who believe snorting OPANA is very harmful due to the silica, and there are some who dont buy it. You choose your side.

Unless you make it a regular thing, the silica isnt a problem imo.

Be careful, have fun.
