nonsense

[Politicalchalk]

I've read a lot of posts in this column about injesting benzos in various ways: oral, rectal, IM, IV, SC, Intranasal, you name it, it's been tried. Many people here report about snorting benzodiazepines. When SWIM bought his 1st Valium, the seller was surprised that SWIM would swallow versus snort the pills.

To me, this all seems poppycock. Is there any CLINICAL proof or at least attempts at serious research in the field of intranasal medicine that have anything to say at all about this? Wether anatomically you can snort benzos at all, data on safety issues, noted increases in potency and decreases in duration? I'm looking for hard facts. All I've been able to come up with are anecdotal reports and secondhand stories. Where's the Beef?

My personal persuasion would lend itself more towards lorazepam, clonazepam, and diazepam. The others would also be accepted; the mentioned are of personal significance as I was/am taking them curretly.

Anyone know of some clinical data or the like?
