===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~~]].

Like sublingual absorption, the substance is largely absorbed through the lingual artery but is also absorbed through gum lining. This method is used when chewing plant leaves such as [[khat]], [[kratom]], [[salvia divinorum]], and commonly [[tobacco]].

===Insufflation===

Insufflation (also referred to as snorting) refers to introducing a substance into the sinus via the nostrils. Insufflation is a very common method for substances in powder form. Many users find this ROA to be painful and uncomfortable, although certain substances are easier to insufflate than others. This method is capable of rapid absorption through mucous membranes and blood vessels in the sinus. Absorption and onset 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]] and [[ketamine]], but is also known amongst yopo rituals. Insufflating [[tobacco]] in snuff form was common practice in the 20th century.
