    Exclamation Where drugs go when they’re snorted...

    Where drugs go when they’re snorted... Whatever you think you know, the chances are, you’ve got it all wrong. We spoke to the experts to find out what really happens when you put note to nose.

    “It goes up your nose cavity and down your throat?” he responded. After a short period of further consideration, he continued: ​“Yeah, I’m not sure. Does it go into your system? You ingest them, right? You’re ingesting them. I don’t know, um, does it go in… $#@!. I don’t know.”

    Now, I’m not saying this chap was an unreliable witness, but he did continuously ask me if I’d been to this festival before, seemingly forgetting the conversation which took place five minutes previously. So the following day I asked Dr Ben Sessa MD, a psychedelic researcher and​MDMA, ketamine and psilocybin psychotherapist, the same question. “It depends on which drugs and how they’re taken,” he said. ​“There’s different routes of administration, it’s all about getting the drugs into the brain. To get the molecules of that drug into the brain means crossing what’s called the ​‘blood-brain barrier’. That’s the point at which the blood vessels come into contact with the brain.”

    When it comes to taking drugs, there are many factors (setting, tolerance, purity) that will determine how $#@!ed you get, how quickly you’ll feel the effects and even how addictive the substance is. But how you take a drug is a big one, Sessa tells me. With snorting, however, ​“there’s a lot of blood vessels in the nasal cavity,” Sessa says. ​“So when you insufflate [that’s the proper name for snorting], it’s a very rapid way of getting the drug into the blood and then it goes up to the brain. It’s pretty rapid, a matter of minutes, if you snort. It’s not like it just stays in the nose, it gets absorbed into the bloodstream and is pumped all over the body to all the organs.”
