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
