Theory

Black tar heroin often comes in a form that is initially unsnortable. This is a guide meant to introduce snorting a viable routes of administration to a user of tar heroin. Most people think that smoking or injecting are the only valid routes of administration for this form of heroin, but this is untrue.
The sticky consistency of this substance often makes it difficult or impossible to snort. The process below details how to make the black tar heroin available for this route of administration.
For more information on the psychoactive effects of heroin, please see its subjective effect profile.
Materials
- Black tar heroin - This is the dirty, sticky, cut to shit version of heroin that some Western USA users are used to. In its gooey processed form it is unable to be snorted.
- Syringe and Needle - The black tar is dissolved in water and heated in a method equivalent to the one found used to inject and is detailed below. One commonly uses an I.V. insulin needle for snorting the heroin containing solution.
- Clean Water - Dissolve the heroin in water, being careful to not use too much as one does not want to snort too much water. The less water used, the more concentrated the solution becomes. The concentrated solution creates a burning sensation in the nose, but some prefer it for its increased potency.
- Spoon/Cooking Utensil - This is used to dissolve the heroin into sterile, distilled water as if one was injecting it.
- Filter - A micron filter is best, but people usually resort to using a cotton q-tip for a filter. Do not re-use any cotton filters, as this can lead to cotton fever and is a dangerous practice.
- Nasal Irrigator - Use this about an hour after snorting to clear my sinus passages of any impurities. Reports of black impurities exiting the sinus cavities upon irrigation are common when using a cotton filter, which suggests that cotton may not be the best filter.
Procedure
- Place the heroin into the spoon with the sterile water.
- Apply heat until the substance dissolves.
- Using an insulin needle and 1ml syringe barrel, suck up the heroin solution into the syringe barrel through the filter, leaving out any large physical impurities. There is usually black gunk left in the spoon, and one does not want this in the body.
- Instead of shooting this up intravenously, one carefully places the needle in the nose and pushes down on the plunger. This is how one can insufflate black tar heroin. The solution enters the sinus cavities and absorbs rapidly.
- Once the solution has absorbed and the desired effects are reached, a nasal irrigator should be used to clean out the sinus cavities of any impurities.
Holding the head at the right angle for absorption is important, as tilting the head back can cause the solution to run down the throat and into the stomach. Tilting the head forward can cause the solution to run out of the nose, it is best to slightly tilt the head back and pinch the nasal cavity closed after snorting to ensure that all of the solution is absorbed.
