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. | |||

Buccal administration refers to absorption in the cheek and gum. This is commonly employed when ingesting drugs such as 25i-NBOME, LSD, and other substances impregnated on blotter paper. Like sublingual, the substance is largely absorbed through the lingual artery but is also absorbed through gum lining. This method is also employed when chewing plant leaves such as Khat,Salvia Divinorum, and commonly tobacco. | |||
