To the people who ONLY snort Oxycodone...

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

Do yourself a favor...and try eating it once. Just give it a try one time.

Reasons:

It lasts much longer then snorting it.

It only takes around 15-20 minutes before you begin feeling it, so it's not like you have to wait an eternity.

The initial feeling as it hits you is close to the rush you get from snorting it. It's not quite as intense, but it's pretty damn close.

And the best reason is: The bioavailability is quite a bit higher when taken orally compared to intranasal. For those who don't know what bioavailability is or means....it's basically how much of the substance gets into your body and is actively working.

When you IV something, it's BA is 100%. When you take something orally or intranasal, it's BA can vary quite a bit because you have to take into consideration about incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism.

Oxycodone Oral BA usually ranges...but the best data has concluded that it's between 60% - 87%. Intransal ranges vary quite a bit, but most data has the BA as being substantially lower. I've seen data that has intranasal BA as low as 33%. I'd say the average BA range for Intranasal is like 40% - 55%.

With that being said...you can plainly see that you can get much more of the drug in your body by taking it orally.

Some people swear up and down that snorting 30mg compared to eating 30mg is MUCH stronger. The initial rush might be, but the overall high, and length of the high makes oral consumption much more efficient.

Another thing to take into consideration is placebo. Most people just assume that drugs hit you much harder and it's much more efficient to snort things. It's clearly not the case with Oxycodone, but people might still feel that way because their brain THINKS that snorting it is much better, before going into it.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell people who weren't aware of any of this, to please give Oral Oxycodone a shot, and post back on this thread.

I would never go back to snorting Oxycodone. Now I might snort one or two Roxi's after I have taken my normal dose orally, just to get a quick pep, but the majority of my pills are taken orally.

[KingGeorgeIII]

what if you swallow the drip? would you still lose as much?
what aboout snorting half the dose and eating the other half?

[Bluez_Snooze]

yeah the other night i took 150mg oral and blew 120mg.
the previous time i got high, i blew 210mg.
my high the other night wasn't as intense as the previous time.
but it sure lasted a hell of alot longer.
next time, i think im just gonna try eating my whole dose and see how that goes.
maybe take like 250mg oral. somethin around there.

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

what if you swallow the drip? would you still lose as much?
what aboout snorting half the dose and eating the other half?

What else would you do with the drip besides swallow it? Do you just blow that out of your nose or something? The drip doesn't have very much Oxycodone in it anyways, so it wouldn't make too much of a difference, as most of it gets absorbed.

Yeah, eating half and then snorting half will still be much better then snorting all of it.

If you have Oxycontin and not immediate release Oxycodone (aka Roxi's) then you just want to make sure you crush the Oxycontin as fine as possible (because the time-release is inside of the pill-makeup, the coating has NOTHING to do with the time-release, contrary to popular belief) and just dump the powder in your mouth, or mix it with some juice and drink it. Or you can take some empty gelcaps from vitamins or something, and capsule up the Oxycontin powder as well. Oh, and you can parachute it (put the crushed up powder into a small square of toilet paper, twist it up, and swallow.

Everyone who hasn't tried this, please do, and report back to this thread.

[Dillygirl]

Snorting is gross. End of.

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

Yeah, I agree. I can't STAND the drip of any drug. It's so bad that if I don't have a drink on-hand before I snort them, I will throw up instantly as soon as the drip engulfs my throat.

Most people I know LOVE the drip of Oxy...bleh!

[Oxyrisin2]

Hey Fellings,
I'm not trying to bust your balls, But I got into this on another thread..
Why do people have such a problem with people like me that enjoy snorting there meds. Why do you care and why should you care what I like doing with my pills. If I want to crush them up and snort them, or crush them and blow the powder off the bridge..
They're my fucking pills and the last time I checked I can do whatever I want with my shit..
It cracks me up how much grief people put on people that enjoy snorting there own meds..
I don't go jumping on people for shooting or shoving them up there ass. You want to know why? Cause I don't give a fuck how you take them, there yours and you can do whatever you want with them..
PEASE..:cheers2:

haha i hear ya man.
i love snorting my meds.
and it fuckin pisses me off when my buddies get on my ass about it.
why the fuck should they care how i take em?
they shouldn't..

nothin against you U4ia
i know you're only suggesting that we try something different for once to maybe even benefit us.
but oxyrisin is right.
i don't understand why other people should give a fuck.

[Bluez_Snooze]

oh, and oxyrisin.
U4ia was only making his statement towards people who use oxycodone.
reason being because oxycodone has a higher BA orally.
so everything that he said wouldn't apply to you because from what i remember, your on morphine and hydrocodone right?

but yet, i still agree with your point.
i don't see anything wrong with snorting our meds.
if i want to, then i will.
im not hurting anybody by doing so.

[Oxyrisin2]

Ya I know, I'm not jumping him. It just cracks me up how people say I'm wasting it. I know that and I don't care. I don't give a shit about the absorbation or % of each drug. To me it dosen't matter.
I do a drug and do it the way I want.
Same thing goes for Meth. People always say dude your wasting it when you smoke it. it last longer when you snort it..Well I love the high when I smoke it. Plus I like the fact it only last 8 hours when smoked. Hell thats part of the reason I use to smoke it. so I can go to bed
Same with pills. I snort, get a good rush, then it wears off quicker and I can go to sleep.

[SpENS93]

i prefer oral over nasal, but usually do a combo of both...

so if i get an 80 ill usually snort 50 blow 30

my friends call me a pussy n shit but idc, im higher longer than them hahah

[InstantGratification]

Indeed.

I will admit I still snort some oxycodone, but the better part of it is taken orally.

Nice to see you back, U4ia :p

[CoLdFuSioN167]

I used to always snort my pills but now the only thing that I do is swallow them. Lasts so much longer and it honestly seems like I feel it more.

I had this sudden insane out of nowhere rush that made me nod the fuck out, hen i jolted upright, hot as hell and nauseous as fuck. two sprays from my stomach sprinkler later, and i'm euphoric again, sans nod.

Not with Oxymorphone. Oral BA is horrible. Intranasal BA is much higher with Opana/Oxymorphone.

Oh, and Oxyrisin, this wasn't a thread to attack people who snort their meds. I used to do it, and I still do occasionally. This post was actually geared towards people who had no idea what BA was, and had no idea Oral can get you just as high, if not higher in some cases.

I just wanted people to try it, because most people who have, haven't gone back...proof from this thread.

[Oxyrisin2]

Ya I know. Its just I have seen a few people on 2 other threads smash it so I was just bringing it up here to.LOL
Like I said I was in no way trying to bash your thread, or assuming you were. I was just purging...LOL

[KingGeorgeIII]

I've never got a chance to try it. :(

It's not THAT good.

[Slingblade]

*Disclaimer* This is not to attack U4ia. Please do not go apeshit :) *//end Disclaimer*

I always snort my meds. Well, meds if you call em that. I like to think of them as happy pills. My girl calls them my candy. Whatever.

I know the science of it all. Yes, oral = more drug in system than snorting. With stuff that has APAP in it, although I rarely get that, I will NEVER snort that. Thats stupid. With Oxycontin, Roxis, (and yes even MS Contin, cuz im not shooting a pill or shoving anything up my ass), I just love to snort them. Perhaps its the ritual. Or placebo. Or the fact I snort pretty much anything I can get my dirty little hands on. Thats just fun to me. You just know once you crush it up, and inhale youll be high.

Forming the lines is also fun. Sometimes I like to make my name, or draw things like simple pictures with lines. Ever seen Lord of War where the dude made a picture of Europe or whatever that was with coke? Yea, Im like that. But on a much smaller scale.

Maybe it just feels more illegal to me to snort them. Eating doesnt seem as rebellious. Illegal is fun. Ok Im done.

[LoriBaby]

ive had way to many friends before snort perc's in front of me....i always thought it was way to much powder and orally was just easier.Now roxi's,dilaudid,morphine and,oxi's i will snort. its not that much powder and the feelings come on strong.

[KingGeorgeIII]

snort percs? eww the thought of that much acetaminophen makes me want to vomit.

[NNDimethyltryptaDream]

Snorting, and occasionly smoking some on top of some bud is really the only way Id ever go. For me, orally taking it does little to nothing and seems like a waste. Ex: Early on when Id just started messin around with the stuff (snorting only 20 mgs... Very early on!), I was at school and really wanted some, so I chewed up 60 mgs, the most I had taken to date...And?...Nothing! Im was extremely disappointed, but the next day when I snorted 40 mgs...Wow.

[Oxyrisin2]

OC's are stupid (when you can get alternative opiates for so much cheaper. H/morphine/dilaudid/opana have a much better high, but oxy is a good long-term pain med choice for people who want pain relief and are not trying to get high) but eating them is by far the best method to consume them whether ABG or Purdue (especially ABG). The absorbtion rate is so much higher compared to snorting oc with all the pill fillers or with percs, the apap. And, parachuting will definitely give a overall more satifying albeit slightly more slow rush than snorting. And shooting oc's is just stupid.

Not if you enjoy snorting them. Everyone is different.
Snorting oxys is the only way to go.. Mmmmm Good

[-beatnick]

i liked to sniff 75%, pop 25% with OC.

but now i usually only do heroin, and for now its sticking to my nose.

[blitz7341]

i used to snort my oxy. at a time where i had no tolerance i would snort 40-60mg. after hearing from you guys how much more effective it is to eat it i gave it a try. like u4ia said, i dont think ill ever go back to snorting it. ive done alot of opiates in the last few months so my tolerance has gone up some. i try not to use everyday tho, its too expensive IMO. anyway my usual oral dose recently has been ~30mg. i usually just chew em up and wash em down with a drink and it hits in about 20 minutes. i just took about 30-35mg and i feel great. good thread u4ia.

i dont know if im ever going to get them again, but when i had opana i always snorted it. do you think eating that would be more effective like oxy?

i think i read something where opana had a higher BA up the nose oppose to oral.
i think it was actually U4ia that said that.
you'll have to double check with him on that though.

[blitz7341]

ok good to know. i would love to get some opana again. i dont think the high is any better than oxy, but for a dollar a mg you definitely get more bang for your buck.

[xLeFinx]

Some people enjoy snorting them... some enjoy eating them. To each their own.
If some people want to take their meds a certain way, it's not someone's civic duty to inform them that a certain way is BETTER. No matter how many facts you spew out, it's all opinion. One person swears that snorting is better.. one swears eating is better. End of story.

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

That wasn't the point of the thread....to argue over which is better, because people are gonna do what they want. I just want people to try it and tell me what you think.

Don't ever smoke oxycodone again. Please...it is not doing anything but wasting it.

[trichome22]

whenever i take oxycodone orally its a light body high, when i snort it i recieve a mind crippling rush. if i want a light body high, ill drink some pod tea. oxycodone is too expensive to waste orally.

Inhaling the vaporized or smoke products of whatever they use for binders and continuous release parts of the pill (if its a oxycontin) can't really be good for your lungs either.

[luciano]

True story 100%: I had been off narcotics and opiates for about 2-3 years and had litterally zero tolerence to opiates (could feel a buzz from 30mg-60mg codeine along with some weed to give you an idea). I had been drinking a lot of coffee the day in question (also low tolerence to caffeine) so my heart beat was racing like mad, also had the jitters. I decided to bust out one of my 80s (which had bought/discovered as well earlier that same day) and split it in half. I snorted 40mg and didn't feel anything to my surpise. I then snorted abother 10mg-20mg and barely felt something.

I was extremily dissapointed so later on that night I took the remaining 20mg quarter chewed up by mouth and was higher than I ever was in my life.

My theory is that oxy is a relatively stimulating opioid on it's own orally (compared to morphine for example) and snorting gives more of a stimulating opiate buzz hence the caffeine I had overpowered if not synergized with the oxy but on the stimulant side of the spectrum.

Not only based on that incident alone, actually now I feel the effects when I snort and do believe it its somewhat 'stronger' due to onset and comeup, however I still think oral is a better way to ingest the oxy. When you snort oxy, if say 20mg oral gets you a buzz then roughly 15mg snorted will give you the same buzz. As you can see they are both the same thing relatively speaking b/c oral, although 20mg (5mg+) is only by a very bit 'weaker' however the effects are longer (perhaps not as strong/fast) but you get that 5mg you think you wasted by not snorting with about an extra hour of effects.

Conclusion: Snorting v.s. Oral- With the comeup and on set of both oral and snorted oxy considered I would still prefer oral. That is because the comeup between oral and snorted differs by only 5-10 minutes at most. The few extra mg you end up saving due to snorting you make up in oral by extended duration of effects.

[luciano]

I've heard people smoke oxy and everybody tells me the exact same thing "It *DOES* work but its very much a waste. The same people that have done this say that the 40s and 80s work best for this purpose (using tin foil). I've asked around and everybody tells me that a point of H will last them longer than 1 point (100mg) oxy. Personally I can do a point of H in about 1-3hrs of good shit but I remeber the times when I could keep a point for 2-3 days and do it from day to night non-stop.

BTW- Has anybody gotten a rush from smoking H? There is definatley a rush from cashing but I am looking for the same rush you get from smoking Fentanyl. People around here say there is no heroin pure enough to get you that kind of rush when you smoke it.

[luciano]

trichrome22, please expand as I am sure the rest of us would like to know your thoughts on this subject.

[twang]

despite this thread...i still love to sniff some oxy...the physical act of sniffing it feels good to me. good enough to keep sniffin and not chew em.

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

Yeah, of course. Snorting Oxy is ALWAYS going to feel immediately better because of the fast onset. But in the long run, I find that Oral Oxycodone gives you MORE of the drug, and gives a nicer high, that lasts MUCH, MUCH longer.

[CherokeeMist]

i agree completely, eating oxy is such a nice smooth high, so strong too.

i like seperating my doses so i get the best of both (like twang said, the ritual of snorting is fuckin good. there's a lot more to drugs than just the actual chemical effects in the brain). swallowing 15mg and then railing ten when it kicks in is so nice.

[SpENS93]

oh and eating ftw

[mindbender62]

Back before I knew you could rail oxy's (1997) I would chew my pills. Label said not to. so thats what I did. I was put on 40mg 3 times aday because oxy's were less addictive then vicodin!!! Soon I nwas getting the 160mg 3 times aday.Then they stopped making the 160 because to many ppl thought they could handle taking 1 pill. To many kids dropping dead.Good 'ol days when you by law "had the right to be pain free" . you could actually threaten your dr. with that. Ya, you had to have pain. I broke my back.I was messed up on oc's from 1997-2004. Then heroin was so cheap.dam, I'm gettin excited . I better go to different forum

[la Principessa]

Yeah, I agree. I can't STAND the drip of any drug. It's so bad that if I don't have a drink on-hand before I snort them, I will throw up instantly as soon as the drip engulfs my throat.

Most people I know LOVE the drip of Oxy...bleh!

my sister says she loves that. i find it disgusting. if i swallow it, i NEED a drink asap or i gag.

[trichome22]

Oxy has a very good bioavailability when both eaten and snorted. When you snort it, I find the drug enters your blood stream at a faster rate, because the oxy is directly in contact with you nasal mucus membrane. Anything that doesn’t get absorbed in your nose is going to drip down and get absorbed in your stomach anyway.

When you take oxy orally I find it doesn’t enter your bloodstream nearly as quick as when snorted. This causes a much longer come up and a weaker peak. The faster the oxy gets racing around your body in your blood the better.

If you don’t count the initial come up from eating oxy, I think snorting and eating would have the same duration, the different being snorting has a stronger peak. Personally I don’t like the come up from oral, I like to get as high as I can as fast as possible which is why I only snort.

I’ve also considered the possibility of stomach acid degrading or destroying the oxy.

that’s all for now,
trichome22

[somanyroads67]

After reading this entire thread, I have been snorting my oxycodone(30MG.'S), & Snorting my Oxycontin (60mMG.'S) for the last 4 months. I am going to try eating them.I like the idea of them lasting longer (effects), since of course my TOLERANCE IS VERY HIGH now. I am perscribed 4,30's, daily, & 3 60's daily...Maybe snorting them ISNT THE WAY TO GO AFTER ALL, although I do like the rush, BUT,IF I am WASTING any, I DONT WANT TO DO THAT! I need to get the most out of the monthly meds & I already run out like 8 days early OR sooner every month!!!Please advise??????

So eating them as opposed to snorting them definatly wastes less & lasts longer??

Confirm?

[T3trahydr0cannab1n0l]

So eating them as opposed to snorting them definatly wastes less & lasts longer??

Confirm?

Confirmed. The BA is higher orally then intranasal. i thought you read the thread? Its says the same thing over and over. Summary: Oral bioavailability for oxy is HIGHER then intranasally. The oral route will provide a stronger longer lasting high without the intense rush felt when snorted. So based on what you personally find better or more fun, both routes are awesome. Don't smoke OC's, it is wasteful. That is what the thread is about.

[la Principessa]

I'm so used to snorting them, but it would probably be better to not do that anymore anyway. Someone I know has been snorting shit for years and her nose is always runny and fucked up. Plus if the bioavailability is better orally then you're not losing much. Although i know some people are so stubborn and swear to jesus christ that snorting is better. they usually just love snorting, not the high [or lack thereof] you get from it.

It is all opinion. I love snorting but that doesn't change the fact that the oral route will deliver a higher and more effective dose then intranasal (albeit there isn't a HUGE difference) but non the less there IS a difference. So just do what YOU want (but don't knock it before you try it a different way).

[Feelings 0f U4ia is Back!]

Make sure that if you are taking OC's (not Oxycodone IR) orally, that you should crush them and add the powder to some water or juice, so you break the time-release apart. Otherwise...you won't feel much from taking a time-released Oxycontin because it releases only so much at a time.

[T3trahydr0cannab1n0l]

^^ Yeah u4ia, unfortunately i learned that the hard way lol.
