Insufflation is a very common method for substances in powder form. Insufflation is capable of rapid absorption through mucous membranes and blood vessels in the sinus. Absorption is generally much more rapid and subsequently a substance feels much more intense and often shorter acting than if taken orally. Insufflation is common among drugs such as cocaine, but is also known amongnst yopo rituals, and insufflating tobacco in snuff form was common practice in the 20th century.

===Smoked/Vaporized===

Smoking or vaporizing substances is a common method of consumption, oh which the most common example is cannabis. Vaporization of substances can lead to an almost instantaneous absorption of the substance and passage through the blood brain barrier. When a substance is smoked or vaporized, the substance is absorbed through blood vessels found in the bronchi tubes contained within the lungs. Like insufflation, duration is decreased while intensity is increased in proportion to oral absorption. Smoking or vaporizing a substance also bypasses the GI tracts tendency to break certain substances down, such as DMT.
