===Sublingual===

Sublingual administration refers to absorption under the tongue. <ref>http://bja.oxfordjournals.org/content/56/1/69.extract</ref> It is a common route of administration for drugs such as [[LSD]]. Sublingual administration can result in a faster absorption. It also circumvents the GI tract's tendency to break down certain drugs, such as [[25I-NBOMe]] which ~~absorbs~~ via sublingual and buccal administration but not orally. Sublingual administration results in the substance being absorbed through the large lingual artery present underneath the tongue.

===Buccal===

Buccal administration refers to absorption in the cheek and gum. This is commonly employed when ingesting drugs such as [[25I-NBOMe|25I-NBOMe]], [[LSD]], and other substances contained within blotter paper. Like sublingual, the substance is largely absorbed through the lingual artery but is also absorbed through gum lining. This method is also used when chewing plant leaves such as [[Khat]], [[Kratom]], [[Salvia Divinorum]], and commonly [[Tobacco]].
