Okay everyone, I know most of us on BL have at least some experiance with snorting different substances. Personally, I did a lot of (mainly) ritalin, as well as adderall and coke over abouta year and a half and it did significant damage to my nose. I have since quit snorting, (though rebounded a few times, always to regret it more), and still blow out or spit loogies of gross stuff thats still up there (I havent put anything up there in at least 4 months).
When I have done coke, phets, etc. I have exclusively been eating them, since that is that safest route of administration. anyway, I started off putting the yae into capsules and eating them, which gave a good lasting effect but I wanted the rush of snorting.
So what I have been doing is crushing/chopping up the powder, and instead of snorting it, sucking it with a tube through my mouth. I put a rolled up bill/pen tube/whatever, almost all the way to the back of my mouth and inhale. Personally I have found this method to be just as effective as snorting, in that some of the substance is inhaled, and the rest hits the back of my throat, numbs it up, and goes down easy when I chase with a glass of water. I know that part of the logic behind snorting is the absorbtion in the mucous membranes, a little is inhaled, and the rest either drips or stays in your nose.
SO whats the deal, others scoff at me when I do this, say im wasting it. I know it works for me and it a much safer option than snorting, but does it really have a lesser effect or anything? I know a lot of the deal with snorting is the stigma and fact that people see it in movies,etc. BUT DOES IT REALLY MAKE THAT MUCH MORE DIFFERENCE THAN INHALING THROUGH YOUR MOUTH?
I'd like your opinions...sorry for the long post.

heh.. im gonna be the first to make an off color comment about adding a snorting v sucking v spit or swallow? comment
anyway, if you want to do this, do it i guess... i sure as hell wouldnt.. i mean, it gets the job done i guess, but i really dont like the idea of possibly sucking powder into my lungs. getting a capsule of powder stuck in my throat and having it open up and fill my breath with powder scared the sh1t out of me, and hurt.
theres a reason all that stuff falls out your nose; it doesnt belong there. the nose works as a good filter, youre basically now taking it unfiltered and all that nasty stuff that should come out your nose collects inside you and has to be dealt with there. i mean, even if the vast majority gets absorbed by the membrane, still... i dont know... doesnt sound wise.
i mean, theoretically, you could stick it up yer bum. i say.. i dont know. i wouldnt do it.
 
^- Good point!
Don't like snorting? Like sucking?
Make some crack and chase the dragon! :) :)
Best of both worlds.
 
Only thing I can think negative of it would be the possibility of sucking shit into your lungs. Try holding some under your tounge too maybe... works good for pills.
 
Try it up the arse. It lasts a long time and is better than any other method aside from snorting IMO.
I use another method if my nose is 100% cashed and not accepting any more deposits -- the Andean native method. Put a small amount in a tissue or toilet paper and roll it up and stuff it in your upper lip. Once your saliva gets the paper wet, it'll filter slowly into your gums for a super-nummy.
Don't do crack. It's not the same high really.

True, it's not. It's better. And if you are one of those "anti-crack" types, just go ahead and shoot up your coke instead. You'll never even WANT to put it in your nose again.

Goody's Headache powders are taken just by swallowing the powder with a liquid (like water). I've never tried this with coke but it works for the headache powders. I would think this would work better than actually sucking it. That way it wouldn't go down the wrong tube.

No shit. We've got a smart little cookie here...
As for sucking or snorting-here's my advice and will change your mind completely.
What you do: put a little (I must stress LITTLE) bit of coke into a spoon with water. Mix it up until it's all disolved. Then throw a little piece of cotton into the spoon. Grab a syringe, suck up all the liquid, tie up your arm, pump your arm and feel for a vein if you can't see any right away, then stick a needle in there and when you see the beauty of your blood flow into your water/coke mix-push the plunger in. At this point you will feel an incredible rush, your heart will start beating fast, your ears will begin to ring and you will hear crazy crazy shit. Everything will sound echo-like. The rest of what you will feel is indescribable--but believe me you will never go back to your very creative sucking method. (I know, never say never, but believe you me--banging coke is the best high I have ever had)
Most people are afraid of needles, but you are selling yourself SO short, and IMO completely wasting your coke by not shooting it. Either way-have fun!!

IV coke is SO much better then crack
crack is dirty, you end up with a burnt lip and black fingers from all the ashes.
 
Unless I missed something, you're talking about inhaling cocaine hcl?
Every part of me recoils at the notion. Look at the damage done to your nostrils over time as a snorter - now you want to put the solid into your lungs and let it go to work on the tissues you breathe with?

Okay, so the point of snorting is to get the intense effect it gives. So does that effect come SOLELY from the absorbtion of the substance in the mucous membranes in your nose? (not counting the rest that drips down your throat and is absorbed in your stomach or on the way down). I could be (and likely am to some point) wrong, but I thought that the intense effect came from the absorbtion in your nose and from the little but that was/is actually inhaled into your lungs...
When I was big w/ ritalin I remember hearing controversey about how snorting it not only damaged the nose, but some said it was harmful for your lungs. The arguement was, however, that your lungs inhale a lot of dust, smoke, and particulate substances of all types and that your nose would be totally ruined before you would develop lung problems due to snorting. So even if that isn't true, wouldn't my method make sence in that although you dont get full absorbtion in your nose (or damage) the inhalation and injestion elements of my route of administration would give somewhat close to the same effects with less potiential for damage? (BTW when i was a rit fiend I DID notice the lungs being slightly affected my regular continued use, though only directly after snorting)
Again, I admit that my logic is probably false to some extent, and that my suggestion for inhaling drugs is something most of you will not have any desire to try, I would like someone with the right Gnosis to show me the error in my thinking...
Oh yeah, I'm not intrested in smoking crack or IVing (just the thought of all that bullshit cut going straight into me makes me cringe). I DO encapsulate the stuff, and drop it normal or stick it whereever. But i was just curious as to the effectivity of my method, personally (with the quality i get and technique I have developed) I find it to work, maybe not as effective as straight up snorting, but close enough to it to bother in the first place. Anyone with the right facts to shoot me down, I welcome you...

Crack crack crack... I know you aint' gonna move to needles so go to crack that will help you worry less about your cuts.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
Are you aware that getting particles into your lungs destroys them?
People that worked in mines died of something called "Coal Miner's Lung". They inhaled tiny particles of coal daily which eventually ripped their lungs into shreds and they died a painful death.
If you are simply breathing in powder, it along with potentially non-water soluable cuts are going into your lungs in large concentrations, cutting them up and destroying them.

ChillsH2O - Don't put solids in your lungs.
Snorting works because cocaine hcl is soluble in water, and passes the nasal membranes in that manner.
If you want to pass the membranes in the lungs, you go the crack route. You smoke the freebase. You see, your lungs are meant to move oxygen into the bloodstream - and they are kind enough to carry along the vapours you've addded into the mix.
Smoking hcl doesn't work. Snorting freebase doesn't work.
If that doesn't convince you, perhaps you should start by inhaling some flour, then some salt... perhaps inhale some crushed aspirin the next time you have a headache.
 
I had a friend that tried this with coke, he put a gram into a straw and inhaled. he said that he could not feel his chest for 30mins, he felt as if it was a waste but he's a freebase fan
