SWIM would def. not go the route of IV with Vicoprofen. It can be/will be very painful because of the ibuprofen and all the fillers in the pill that rush through SWIY's poor veins. Wouldn't be surprised if SWIY vomits from it as well because of introducing foreign matter into their blood stream.
Anyway, if taken orally, the ibuprofen will have minimal effects on the liver and instead be much worse for SWIY's stomach if much is taken over a short period of time for a long period of time. If SWIY wants to IV, stick to Oxy, H, Dilaudid, and
Fentanyl (If SWIY wants to die).
Hydrocodone is not worth IVing. Chances are SWIY will not even get a better rush than if they were to swallow / chew them up. And if they do, it probably won't be worth the labor.
Now, if SWIY wants to try a different way, they should try doing a CWE (Cold Water Extraction) then either drinking the liquid as a shot of liquor or
plugging it with a needle-less syringe which will bring much more
euphoria. Although quite a few people are against plugging since it has to do with inserting a foreign object into their anal cavity.
To make a long story short, if SWIY wants to IV, they should get a better
drug (More potent), otherwise they should just stick to chewing the pills up or the CWE method. But they should also be careful and keep track of how much ibuprofen they intake, too much can be fatal.
