Why parachute something?

[piller97]

Hey blue light,

Im wondering what the point of parachuting would be?
The only thing I can think of would be to shorten the time between ingestion and when effects begin to be noticeable.
(ie. Crushing a time release pill then parachuting the powder)

The only other thing I can think of would be to avoid having to taste the substance upon administration?



The only reason I've ever gone with a ROA that wasn't orally was to raise that BA of the substance, and I can't imagine that parachuting would do that as it still ends up in the stomach.
......am i wrong?


Personally I've never parachuted anything because I can't see the point, but if anyone has I'm interested in hearing why you chose to?
Or am I missing a possible benefit to parachuting?
Someone please set me straight

-p
(I know ROAs are kinda pharmacology, but this seemed far to basic for that forum)

People typically parachute because it is absorbed into the bloodstream quicker and can provide a stronger 'rush' but it also shortens the duration by around 30mins. If you have ever put a pill in a cup of water and watched it you will realize that it gradually dissolves thus acting like a sort of mini time release but if it's already powdered your body can absorb all of the pill at the same time thus producing a quicker, possibly stronger come-up.

It's really just avoiding the taste of chewing it. Like CaptK said, by breaking it up you're just increasing the surface area which allows your stomach to digest it faster, decreasing time of onset.

Parachuting the powder would reduce the onset time and could potentiate the drug.

Pretty much answered your own question there...
