Can you overdose from snorting heroin?

Answer 1

Yes, either way will get you high. Eating it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to feel any effects which are lessened because of eating it. Snorting it, you will feel effects anywhere from 15 minutes to a half hour.

Answer 2

Yes, it can also be injected into a vein or a muscle, it can be smoked in a water pipe or standard pipe, it can be mixed in a marijuana joint or regular cigarette, and inhaled as smoke through a straw known as "chasing the dragon."

It is very addictive and dangerous for a non experienced person.

Answer 3

As far as I'm aware you NEVER snort Heroin! You can smoke it, this used to be referred to as chasing the dragon, or inject it. However, if you have any sense at all you would not attempt anything. It's all too easy to experiment, but you can become an addict after just one try. So do yourself a favour and get curious about something else.

****WRONG. Snorting Heroin is now the #1 way heroin users get their fix. The heroin needs to be crushed into a fine powder, and then spread out in lines (similar to the way people use cocaine in the movies) and snorted. Frequent users will sometimes cut a drinking straw into a little "spoon"-like shape and just scoop up some powder and place it under their nostrils to snort quickly and in smaller amounts.

Answer 4

Yes, it is not very difficult to overdose. Overdose can be fatal.

Yes and no. The truth is that it is difficult to overdose on pure heroin. However, most "street" heroin is mixed with other substances that can cause greater harm and many long time addicts will also mix heroin with other drugs such as alcohol and cocaine. It is often the combination that kill people, not heroin by itself. For instance, River Phoenix is often used as an example of a heroin overdose, however, he had mixed heroin and cocaine, which is much easier to OD than heroin.

Answer 5

Heroin can be snorted just like cocaine. During the Vietnam War American G.I's took heroin this way. Simply make the powder as fine as possible and snort!

Answer 6

No it has.to by pass the liver that is why its.injected.

Answer 7

if the heroin is in powder form it can be snorted. if it is tar- one must cook it up and snort the liquid. however if one is already shooting heroin this tactic will not get you high
