Opinions - Oral ingestion vs. Insufflation

[HorseBucket]

Is snorting Ritalin really more effective than taking it orally (letting it dissolve in your mouth not swallowing pills)? Swim finds that when he snorts the stuff at least half of it stays in his nasal cavity so he has to snort some water to wash it down and even after washing it down with water a few times he still sees Ritalin in his mucous when he blows his nose. What swims saying is some of the stuff gets lost.

Snorting it also has some adverse effects on swim such as giving him mild asthma. Unless he crushes it into fine dust which takes ages to do he finds that the stuff aggitates his lungs. Swim has also had a couple of nosebleeds from snorting and the odd time he gets a pain in his sinus.

Swim decided to start dissolving the pills in his mouth instead and it works just as good in his opinion.

htye are 2 diff effects..
snorting gives you a sronger shorter blast..more speed..
letting it get into the blood from mouth or stomach gives a slower longer mellow rush..if wim is not snorthing it he prefers to just ingest it..he finds that is better then under the tongue..

SWIM thinks snorting is much cooler
effect is intenser and stronger but shorter, SWIM never really got tweaked from ingesting ritalin, and SWIM thinks it tastes horrible

Yea swim agrees snorting does give a much better rush. Its tempting to redose when the rush starts to fade though isn't it. Swim found out that the reason he was getting nose bleeds and a pain in his eyeball and nose was because he was getting lazy when crushing the pills. He uses a mortar and pestle but broke his mortar so he uses a screwdriver handle now but its get everything powderized with it.

i have a very good technique for getting them very powdery

-first make a little envelope with a piece of paper, then put youre pills in it and close it (make sure there are severall layers of paper that protect the pills)
-then smash it severall times with a hammer while it rests on a hard flat surface)
-shake the bag a bit
-open the bag/envelope do the powder on youre snorting surface and cut it a little with a blade or something so its really really powdery

takes me less then a minute and its very small

Sounds like a decent trick especially for someone without a mortar and pestle. Swim would put the pills in a plastic baggy first through because a fair bit of powder would get stuck to the paper.

^^^^^
swim was gonna say the same..a fair amount will get absorbed into the paper..
when swim is at work he finds some paper with a waxy surface so he can use a credit card adn scrape and scrape the surface to get all exra up...and thn of course lick it. :P

just get a good pill crusher..the ones they sell at drug store that have the end that look like bullets ar not that great..they sell one at petco thats round..5$..works perfect..powderizes it..

swim would think you would lose some witha morter as well..it would grind into teh stone unless your using a smooth morter..andif it was metal swim would be afraid of metal rubbing into the poweder..

the 5$ crusher at petco is the best so far..and if you get cought with it just say you cant swallow pills..just clean it out after each use..keep a bottle of advil with you :P
