Meth Administration Methods

Smoking (Most Common)

Glass pipe, hot rails, foiling. Heat gently and rotate pipe for even vaporization.

Injection

Intravenous use provides immediate effects. Highest risk of addiction and health complications.

Snorting

Insufflation through the nose. Slower onset than smoking but longer duration.

Oral

Swallowing in capsules or drinks. Slowest onset but longest duration.

Cocaine Administration Methods

Snorting (Most Common)

Insufflated through the nose using a straw or rolled bill. Effects last 15-30 minutes.

Injection

Dissolved in water and injected intravenously for immediate, intense effects.

Smoking (Freebase)

Converted to crack cocaine for smoking. Very rapid onset but short duration.

Crack Administration Methods

Smoking (Standard)

Glass pipe with chore boy or steel wool filter. Provides immediate, intense high.

Bottle Method

Plastic bottle with aluminum foil top. Less efficient but common when pipes unavailable.

Ketamine Administration Methods

Insufflation (Most Common)

Snorted in powder form. Effects begin within 5-15 minutes and last about 45 minutes.

Intramuscular Injection

Injected into muscle tissue. Faster onset than insufflation with more intense effects.

Oral

Swallowed in liquid or powder form. Less efficient with slower onset.
