Heroin What is the bioavailability of a missed shot?

[burn out]

I feel l,ike I dont get high if I miss a shot but my buddy swears he does. I am curious who is right. Is missing a shot weaker than sniffing because I definitely get highw hen I snort heroin?

It will absorb intramuscularly or subcutaneously, depending how deep youve missed it. So, yes, your buddy is right.

Check the Heroin megathread for bio-availability percentages or google them

It's still 100% but it gets absorbed a lot slower, it could take take an hour or longer for it to get fully absorbed.

Ya, if you miss it still should get you high, just no rush and it will take a second to feel it...I somehow missed a shot of oxy one time and thought it was wasted but 30 mins later I was high...

It depends how much you missed by. You can get a partial register and "miss" but some heroin will still get into your veins. Or you could miss completely and feel no immediate relief, but that is pretty hard to do if you take your time.
