I have run out of other stuff and i have been using Tramadol and i take a lot and smoke a but and im pretty fucked up. Has anyone here smoked one I want to try it.
Smoking, snorting, IV'ing, sublingualing, and plugging tramadol are all inefficient if you want to feel the opioid effects, since tram has to make it through first-pass metabolism (oral route) to be converted in to O-Des by the liver.
i've tried smoking one in the past and it was absolutely horrible, no high from it either. all around terrible experience
^^ Tramadol will be converted to o-desmethyltramadol whatever the ROA. You're right that oral ingestion results in first-pass metabolism, whereby following absorption the drug is transported to the liver via the portal vein and is metabolised before it hits the brain/rest of body - but whatever ROA you use, once it is in the bloodstream it is going to make it's way through the liver and be metabolised into o-dt.
That's not to say it's a good idea to consume it via a different ROA of course - smoking is very bad for your lungs, insufflated has a really low bioavailability and IVing pills is even more dangerous than regular IVing - but plugging would work and has a slightly higher bioavailability than oral (see bioavailability thread).
^ You were absolutely correct about first pass metabolism though, and that oral probably is the best ROAplugging doesn't really have any significant advantages and is a lot more hassle.
edit: and am doubting myself now, is 5am and not had any sleep haha..
