===Oral===
===Oral===
Arguably the most common route of adminstration for most classes of drugs, oral adminstration allows a substance to be absorbed through blood vessels contained in the stomach, where Enterochromaffin cells contain approximately 90% of the bodys serotonin. [1] Due to this, absorption of serotonin releasing drugs such as [[MDMA]], [[BK-MDMA]], and [[MDAI]] have been shown to have a higher overall effectivity when compared to insufflation.

===Sublingual===
===Sublingual===
Sublingual administration refers to absorption under the tounge. It is a common route of administration for drugs such as [[LSD]]. Sublingual administration can result in a fast absorption bypassing the GI tracts tendency to break down certain drugs, such as [[25I-NBOMe]], which absorbs sublingual and buccal but not orally. Sublingual administration results in the substance being absorbed through the large Lingual artery present underneath the tounge.
