I know there are only few benzos that are water soluble (flurazepam etc) so if most of the benzos aren't soluble in water, thus not being able to insufulate them, then why do people take some sublingualy, especially K-pins? Since putting them under your tongue is essentially dissolving them in your saliva (water). could someone explain this to me? i've been wondering for quite some time
Saliva is not just water. There are many enzymes in you're salvia that begin the breaking down of food when you eat before it reaches you stomach. Thats why benzos/opiates/lsd can be taken under the tounge.
that they are, but besides the minty goodness haha Hmm, i suppose that makes sense. Does it just bypass the stomach or something?
Yes. Your mouth is a membrane like your nose, intestines, and anus. Once the drug passes the membrane it goes directly into the bloodstream.
