Really? This is good to know; I once in a while run into some from my friend and we've always snorted it. I've always felt it pretty fast, and it was a nice buzz.. Was that a placebo?

I'm not 100% sure. It's probably a bit of placebo, and a bit of second pass metabolism, and a bit of drip. But you should get a higher bioavailability, and a faster onset if you just chew and swallow. If you don't chew, it needs to dissolve, but it'll still probably come up at the same speed as the insufflated dose, but it'll have a higher BA.

Thanks good info.
Placebo effect is very strong BTW its completely underestimated in general because people just don't realise the power of the mind / belief.

Well, it's still very likely that there were some some effects that compounded with the placebo effect. If you have an extremely full stomach, an insufflated dose might come on faster, but you'll still waste product. But on an empty stomach, there is absolutely no reason to ever snort codeine.

Thats what I thought. But my little bro's friend was all "I know what I'm doing" so I snorted it. Oh well.

From Erowid:
"Codeine is absorbed quickly from the GI tract and it's first pass through the liver results in very little loss of the drug. This contrasts with morphine in which over 90% of the drug is metabolized in the first pass through the liver resulting in a considerable loss of potency when administered orally. This is why codeine is a common opiate in the relief of pain, the ease of oral administration.
Codeine can be administered by many routes, this includes, SC, IM (intramuscularly), as an enema, and orally."
And: "Codeine is converted to morphine during hapatic metabolism"
I don't know what that is, but its looking better and better for Bothhands...

BothHands is asserting that codeine is more effective when it's handled by the liver because it's a prodrug that needs to be converted. Heroin is also a prodrug, which converts to, I believe, morphine, 3-monoacetylmorphine, and 6-monoacetylmorphine. So why is it that heroin has the highest bioavailability when injected and the lowest bioavailability when swallowed?

I believe the reason they left out INA is because insufflating codeine can cause massive histamine release in the lungs. Or at least that's the general consensus on bluelight, but there is no specific source, so it could be untrue.
Insufflation will work, but it will have a slower onset and a lower bioavailability, meaning you're wasting product.

A quick google search will answer that question.
Quote:
When taken orally, diacetylmorphine undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism via deacetylation, making it a prodrug for the systemic delivery of morphine.[17] When the drug is injected, however, it avoids this first-pass effect, very rapidly crossing the blood-brain barrier because of the presence of the acetyl groups, which render it much more fat soluble than morphine itself.[18] Once in the brain, it then is deacetylated variously into the inactive 3-monoacetylmorphine and the active 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM),
When taken orally, it's a prodrug for morphine. The liver turns it into morphine, which makes it almost the same potency as morphine. But when it's IV'd it skips first pass metabolism, gets into the brain very quickly, and is metabolized into the more powerful chemicals in the brain.

And how do you know codeine isn't converted better via methods other than oral?

Mind rephrasing your question so that it makes sense?
How do I know second pass metabolism isn't better than first pass?
Well, they're the same. They're both liver metabolism. The only difference is you have to wait longer for second pass.

You're assuming that codeine has a higher bioavailability when taken orally because you think first pass metabolism works better for it. You can't back that up.

First past metabolism works the same as second pass metabolism. I'm really not sure what you're trying to say. They're both liver metabolism. They both exactly the same thing.
I'm getting too drunk for this. I'll talk to you in the morning. In the mean time, google is your friend.

Dude. Ewww. Snorting Pharms, only exception I would ever make considering everything I snorted is oxycontin. I guess Welliburtin is ok to snort if you are in jail as well; better then nothing. Got to love psychiatrists; even get high in jail. Man if I ever went to prison I'd probably take solitary, kill someone immediately to avoid the gangs and butt sex; and just get high. Man I'm not even sure killing prisoners gets you solitary, I guess attack a police officer instead?
Whatever. Jail ain't fun, I couldn't imagine prison. Why use pharms when you can smoke weed and do mushrooms? I don't get it man. I'd only use pharms if I had too. Cocaine is a pretty nasty drug in high doses, I recommend growing a plant or two and just chewing on a leaf. It's much better, safer, healthier then pharms and cocaine.
Unless I'm off my rocker, codeine is derived from cocaine.
