Yes I feel a fucking great rush from that xanax bar drip and its an intense 10 minutes of barredness but otherwise a waste, thoughts? And yes I known no benzos are fucking not water soluble and you only get the drip but you still get something and theres no bullshitting that.
 
I've never bothered snorting traditional benzos (I don't snort pills), only ever used liquid etizolam nasally and it works... really good as a matter of fact. Anyone who says it doesn't either hasn't tried it or perhaps they're snorting pills and the binders are clogging their nose making it hard for miniscule amount of thieno (hate making this classification) to get through. A PG solution though, kicks in instantly, effects litterally top out within a few minutes and don't get anymore intense, duration is shorter than oral, and it's miles beyond what placebo can be, not to mention it's been reproducable in everyone i've ever dosed that way (typically bad trips, panic attacks, and impatient fucks who just wanna get "high")

Sure, it's not water soluble but aMT freebase isn't either and that works both insufflated and rectally, conversion on the latter isn't even necessary. Benzos aren't water soluble, they're absorbed by the mucous membranes in your mouth sublingually, but they aren't absorbed via the mucous membranes in your nasal cavity whatsoever? Not even a little bit? Don't buy that, absorption may be poor, though due to lack of experience I wouldn't even know, but I doubt none of it gets through... especially if etizolam works so well insufflated.

I wouldn't bother with pills, but if I'm having a panic attack you can bet I'm dropping that .1-.2mls of etiz solution up my nose and watch the relief melt over me instantaneously... When panic arises, I'd rather not wait 15mins for sublingual admin when I can use a more instant and effective ROA for panic attacks. I'm not arguing that benzos are better absorbed insufflated, but etizolam, which also isn't water soluble, works so well nasally that I wouldn't use any other ROA in times when fast anxiolysis is needed

You are not getting a rush from snorting Xanax, is gonna absorb slower than taking it orally. That's a neato placebo though.
 
Seems harmful with all the fillers and what not. But it can help satiate the desire to snort stuff.

Right, placebo ;)... Why anyone thinks benzos would be absorbed sublingually but not intranasally at all is beyond me. Snorting pills is retarded though

My question is why is it cool and widely accepted to snort opiates, but not benzos? Does it just not absorb the same? I've taken klonpin for 7 years without any kind of abuse, however when my folks said either I need to get off, or be disowned, I got off, but now I take xanax bars which are worse. So what's the problem with snorting them? Thanks! Peace.
 
Captain he said xanax that's a pill. He's not talking about pure alprazolam.

Glam, Opiates absorb much better because they're water solubile.
 
I'm aware of that, but if alprazolam is absorbed via nasal mucous membranes what makes you think that there's not a small chance that some can make it through? I know a few mgs in 100+mgs of binder is a long shot, but it's certainly possible. But I'll say it again, snorting pills isn't smart... especialy if the active is measured in minute amounts. It's just weird that everyone on BL seems to think that if anyone gets effects from snorted benzos that it must be placebo, or that if a substance isn't water soluble there's no way it can be absorbed in alternate ROA's. Don't mind me, just confused is all :)
 
Yeah sure some will make it through but I figure less than sublingually and that certainly doesn't produce a rush.
 
Nasal etizolam causes a rush, if that small amount of alpraz makes it through I wouldn't be surprised if that causes a small rush as well. It's nothing like an opiate or anything, but instant anxiolysis is quite rushy if you have anxiety imo, epecially if your panicking. Since short acting benzos already come-up really fast, like 15-20 minutes for me, sublingual offers only little benefit over oral, like a 5 minute benefit. So if you insufflate the Xanax, some will be absorbed instantly, and the then rest will be absorbed only a few minutes behind sublingual. I'd bet that if you were to wet your nose and follow up the line with more if water you can get most of it to absorb. Either way I'll shut up now, I sound like I'm starting a pro benzo insufflation coalition when in reality it's the opposite of what I reccomend.
 
I've IV'd etizolam, heroin, and coke all at once so I guess we just have different definitions of a rush.

Indeed, extreme panic (the only time I use etiz nasally) to relaxed in seconds is a rush to me. Obviously not on par recreationally with IV opiates.
