:If you harm yourself, get first-aid medical attention.

If you suspect you may have done something worse, please get immediate medical attention.

:Oh, if you bleed easily, snorting might give you a wicked nosebleed, so get a papertowel ready if you take lots of warfarin.

:Also, the following tutorial contains liberal, but not overuse of mean language.

:Hey, and also, I know that "drug" is quite a loaded term, but it's only used because it sounds better than "substance." Doesn't take away from the flow and humor supplementing this article, which is very much needed if you're a fucker with ADHD like the person who originally wrote this. ([[User:Corticosteroid]]...shameless self-plug. :])

===You Will Need===

One straw, hollow pen, or other snorting tool, a surface to crush on (if you're using pills), your powder/pill of choice, decongestant (oxy- or xylometazoline), and good tissues. No, not for jerking off into...Jesus, you need to try no-fap.

===Why Would You Snort?===

Snorting makes it so the drug is absorbed by the nasal membranes and transported directly to the blood. What this does is ''decrease'' the onset and total time while compromising '''''for''''' potency.  

==How To Snort==

: '''Read all of these instructions''' '''''BEFORE''''' '''doing this, please?'''

: 1. Take a snorting implement. To begin, I'd suggest a simple thin straw, cut to about 3-6 inches long. Do NOT use McDonald's straws. They will deliver the drug way too fast and it will hurt like a '''bitch''', especially if it goes into the back too far (or potentially into the lungs) and causes the mixture of snot and drug to drip down your throat...lovely. Doesn't taste good, causes a massive throatache, and wastes the product. If you snort using a McDonald's straw anyway and then immediately regret it (''you will''), [http://i.imgur.com/fXCPsxm.jpg| imagine Ronald McDonald squirting hydrochloric acid up your nose while choking a child to death on McNuggets to introduce some humor into the situation of your nose burning like shit to lighten it up.] Also, don't try to look cool with paper bills if you're doing this with good friends. You'll look like a cliché-loving idiot, plus it's hard to assemble correctly, plus your powder of choice will probably have some left behind in the bill. Oh, also, ''bills are dirty as hell'', which brings me to tell you; '''wash your tool first and after each use, also, do not share it with anyone.''' You can also use a long pen tube, but that's not a good idea because it's less efficient and takes more time to prepare. If you think this is way too long a guide for just snorting, number one, get ready for the rest, and number two, your lines will probably be too long to snort right as well. Conclusion of this paragraph? '''''Use a thin straw and save yourself the hassle.'''''

: 1a. Ok, this should be self-explanatory, but if you don't want to get caught snorting or doing drugs, which I assume you ''don't'', do not let this straw in a place where other people or even worse, authorities, will see it, like your car's glove box. Especially if that straw is '''''cut down?''''' Holy shit, they'll search it with excitement like a maid with OCD searches a mansion and put you in the slammer faster than a guy with the munchies throws pizza rolls into his microwave. Even ''more'' god damn worse, if you blunted the end of it with a lighter. They'll just practically shoot-on-sight. If you're very stupid and still don't care, just like when you'll eventually let Ronald McDonald squirt acid up your nose, at least rinse it out with alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Yes, all three. For..."safety." If you still want to keep it in a public place and not wash it, at least make it a pen tube that you can redisguise into a pen. Will work for normal people, but probably not authorities. Conclusion of this paragraph? '''''Don't be stupid with letting people see it.'''''

: 2. With your straw aside, take a flat surface. Make sure it is not porous (small holes in it that powder may fall in to. it's a bitch to clean and wasteful.) Good examples include the hardcover of your college textbook that you paid way too damn much for (this helps fit the scene if you're doing Adderall or other stimulants), a mirror (don't push too hard if you're breaking a pill), or a desk. Conclusion? '''''Nonporous and hard things are good for snorting/crushing off/on.'''''

: 3. Third, if you are crushing a pill, take your crushing implement. If you already have powder, like cocaine, skip to step four. My personal favorite crushing tool is the cap of a pop bottle, like a Pepsi. Absolutely make sure that the pill has been crushed into a '''fine''' ''powder!!!'' Otherwise, the chunks in your nose will hurt bad and won't allow you to snort easily. To help with this, take a credit card, NO, absolutely not your driver's license. Hand an officer that and they'll fuck your criminal record harder than the coke will fuck you up, and roll the card over the powder a few times. Conclusion? '''''Use something that will apply a point of pressure to the pill. With bigger/harder pills, use the cap method, but as if you were cutting the pill. (This is gonna send it flying)'''''

: 4. Ok. First, apply one spray of decongestant to each nostril, wait 15 seconds, (oxymetazoline 0.05% works good) and blow your nose very good. Take a spray bottle '''that has not previously had a harsh chemical in it''' with some distilled (ideally) water and set it to a gentle spray. Lightly spray up the nose and blow again. This is to clear your snot away from the membranes. Now, arrange your powder into about 2-5 thin, straight lines that are easy to hit and follow. Be sure you alternate nostrils; for example, if you have two lines, hit one with left and the other with right. Take the straw and very slowly, as not to poke the nose, (it may help to burn one end with a lighter to blunt it out ((but rinse it in cool water to get the heat out))) place it up the center of the nostril. You should stop when you begin to feel discomfort or pain, and then go backward slightly. Oh, and don't go too far in, plus, align it so the powder will go against and onto your nose. Plug one nostril and secure the straw in the other one. Go down to the powder's level and align the straw at about a 20 to 45 degree angle about 5mm away from the powder, sniffing delicately like you are enjoying the scent of a flower while you go along the line. Take small breaks between lines. If you somehow fuck up and get that awful throatache, get some ginger ale and ice and slurp on it. If it's your first time, [[trip sitter|have someone monitor you.]]

*''anhydrous lactose''. Lactose is a bulking agent and can be used to add mass or shape to the pills.

*'''[[Opioids]]'''. - [[Oxycodone]] (Roxicodone, Percocet [when with APAP]), [[hydrocodone]] (Vicodin when with APAP, Zohydro ER), [[oxymorphone]] (Numorphan, Opana), and [[hydromorphone]] (Dilaudid) can all come in pill form. Hydro- and oxymorphone, however, have low nasal and oral bioavailability, '''but I would discourage one from trying to inject the pill contents.''' Oxy- and hydrocodone usually contain APAP, which may contain a risk.  Of course, your nose will thank you for ''not'' snorting pills.

*'''[[Stimulants]]'''. - [[Cocaine]], [[methylphenidate]] (Ritalin, Concerta), dexmethylphenidate (Focalin, Focalin XR, Attenade), [[amphetamine]] (Adderall, Evekeo), and [[caffeine]] (in coffee, tea, soda, and other drinks. can be bought in powder or in pill form) are all snortable. You can snort lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), but not to increase potency or decrease duration because it is dextroamphetamine bonded to L-lysine. What this does is make it take longer for the dextroamphetamine to be processed by the body, making snorting lisdexamfetamine almost pointless. Of course, your nose will thank you for ''not'' snorting pills.
