I have been snorting pure caffeine for approximately 15 years. I first tried this after experimenting with ways to extract caffeine from No-Doz or Vivarin tablets. The simplest method has been to dissolve the tablets in hot water and remove the non- soluable ingredients by filtering, and then allow the caffeine to crystallize out of solution, over several days, forming very small, thread like crystals. these are then removed from solution and dried, and crushed into a fine powder.

I find the effects of snorting caffeine are intense, to say the least. For my first experimental dose, I snorted what I estimated to be approximately 75 Mg. If consumed orally, this would be a rather small dose, but snorted produced a moderate rush, and a feeling of euphoria not produced by oral ingestion. The stimulant effect lasted for approximately 2 hours.

Over the course of 15 years I have developed a very high tolerance to caffeine, and a strong addiction to it. To stop snorting 'cold-turkey' produces very severe headaches and nasty mood swings to the neagative side. After reaching the point that I was snorting 500 mg every few hours, I have found that gradually reducing my intake allows me to lower my tolerance to a more reasonable level of 200 mg. Aside from this, I would say that this is for me a relatively safe and effective habit, which I hope to continue for many years to come.
