Hi Guys,

I recently met an homeless guy who asked me, if by any chance he found some pure Tapentadol (Opioid, Nucynta) powder and some pure Carisoprodol (Muscle Relaxant, Soma) powder if he could snort them.
He says that all his homeless buddies said not snort a Soma pill, but since it's pure he thought that doesn't apply.

Although the thought of having to snort 350mg of any powder makes him uncomfortable hehehe

I tried finding some information on Carisoprodol and my guess would be that since it needs to be metabolized it would only work if ingested as it's a pro-drug to meprobamate.
However I couldn't find much info on or when I did it was a little bit too in-depth for me to understand. It's also a very recent opiate on the market (2008).

If anyone could give me some info or explain how it works so I can come to my own conclusions, that would be awesome.
Plus, I'd love to help this homeless dude, he was quite friendly :P

Thanks Guys!
 
I don't know about the tapentadol, I've not ever had that particular opioid, but let the guy know if he snorts carisoprodol he's gonna be puking pretty quickly. IMO it's one of the most disgusting chemicals I've ever eaten. I'd tell him to eat the stuff.
 
HeHeHeHe....some well-mannered homeless guy?

As long as said homeless guy doesn't do so much that he OD's, said homesless guy can snort 1/3 of a gram of carisprodol all he wants, although he definitely sounds like he's in the 10th percentile of intelligence for homeless dudes if he's gonna do anything other than take it orally!

And, sometimes I really wonder....I just entered "Can I snort carisporodol?" into a search engine....."bing"....and there must be 10 pages of people basically saying, "you can snort them, but it is in fact pointless and stupid...."

Are you not familiar with search engines? Or did you think starting a thread on homeless people snorting second rate muscle relaxers was somehow impressive? I don't understand....

Why the aggressivity?
You must not be too smart yourself if you don't understand it's pure...not a pill with binders and fillers. 99% of people asking if they can snort it ask about the pill.
Don't answer a question if you don't even know the answer yourself...maybe by answering a thread like a dick you wanted to impress other bluelighters? I don't understand...
=D :p

Carisoprodol should be taken orally for best effects because it's a prodrug for meprabamate (Miltown.....) a MUCH stronger drug that contributes a lot to the effects of the Soma/Carisoprodol and how it works effectively.

Tapentadol I've heard has the same ER matrix as OxyContin (OP) so don't waste your time with any non-oral ROA. The search engine could provide you over ten years worth of results in our database alone let alone the search engines such as google you are likely familiar with. Don't snort soma that's stupid, that's basically like snorting Tylenol # 4 (codeine 60mg + APAP), the drug needs to be taken orally for the codeine to be metabolized into the much more powerful morphine. The same basic concept applies here with the carisoprodol --> meprobamate.
 
^Yeah, and I'm sorry to be an asshole, but we don't generally try to disguise ourselves by referring to ficticious "homeless people" etc....

Snorting 350 mg, even in pure form, just isn't worth it unless it produced some earth-shattering high, which it won't.....carisprodol is short acting and produces an effect similar to alcohol when used recreationally, IMO....just take it orally.....

I guess the fact that you have access to pure powder makes it unique enough of a situation to ask a question about it, but measuring it out shouldn't be too much of an issue considering how high a typical dose of that drug is....If it was a drug that was active at 1mg, like certain benzos are, it would be much more of a concern....

I just see a lot of questions lately that prett common sense, or don't really require too much digging at all to answer on your own.....
 
I was in an out-patient psych program right after Tapentadol hit. A lady who lost both her legs in a car wreck was in the program too. I hijacked a group and made it a "Let's Talk Drugs" group. The lady with no legs had just switched to Tapentadol and said that it was doing nothing for her. If it has a gel-matrix like brand-name Oxycontin and Opanas, then just get one of those instead. Even if you can get pure Tapentadol, from the sounds of it, it's a waste of your time & money.

As far as the Soma, like everyone else said, it's a pro-drug. Best to just eat it. I love my Soma, Klonopin, and when I had them, my Dexedrine; as the Soma & K-pin are best used by dissolving under the tongue/chewing up (taking an antacid 30 minutes prior to eating Benzos helps the BA) and the Dexedrine, snorting or eating. I have a needle fetish, so having to switch to Ritalin due to price, I know am injecting both my pain meds and my Ritalin every single day. I know I need to stop, hence why I actually like Rx drugs that are impossible to/there's no point in injecting.

I want to get back to the needle being a special treat and not a constant companion. But, with my baby speedball of Methylphenidate and Oxymorphone waiting for me every AM, I find the self-control impossible to exercise.
 
I know a guy that had his jaw wired shut so he was sticking the somas up his ass and getting wasted.
 
^Yes carisoprodol is active in and of itself, but it is a widely accepted fact that most of Soma's euphoric effects come from it's metabolism into meprobamate.

Snorting a gram or more of powder/fillers is never going to be an efficient ROA.

Most tapentadol pills are XR too, no point in snorting these.
 
This dude says he has pure Tapentadol....not in a pill, no binders or filers...SO he should be able to snort/shoot/plug whatever given its actual USP grade powder....I doubt it's steril,but I don't doubt that he probably does have high purity Tapentadol.

Last time I looked at the research around PubMed, it seemed that carisoprodol itself has barbiturate-like effects, whereas meprobamate mainly hits the benzo receptors. So, in principle, unmetabolised carisoprodol ought to be the more euphoric, which would seem to be an argument for either being one of those rare individuals who are CYP2C19 deficient, or for non-oral ROAs. The problem is that snorting 750mg of powder is just too damn much due to the limited surface area, let alone whether pill binders are or are not present. Sublingual/buccal routes are similarly out for practical reasons. I suppose a desperado could consider plugging the carisoprodol, presumably dissolved in water with a minimum amount of surfactant.

MacLeod's (Indian) Tapcynta isn't ER, but the pill binders are still enough to impede snorting. A water extract of the goods is easy enough to perform, but these still sting like hell when dried out. Fortunately, it is simple enough to plug the crushed pills with water, and it doesn't matter too much whether some of the binders get drawn in as well. My test monkey likes 150mg by this method. It's interesting stuff because there are certainly ceiling effects, which are also sensitive to ROA. Any more plugged is just a waste of time, but at the same time any amount via IM feels completely different - basically just analgesic and sedating, with no real buzz. There could be some obscure biotransformations going on there ...
 
Garbage with a capital G! The kind of drug you sneak out of your uncles medicine cabinet......And it's really not much more common than a proper benzo or an opiate if you're obtaining it illegally....It's the kind of drug I'd only take if desperate or if it was given to me for free.....I've never met anyone who really "prefers" carisprodol over anything....
 
Carisoprodol is pretty awesome, IMO, best muscle relaxer followed by perhaps Chlorzoxazone, which isn't quite as good.
