Most any kind of stimulant like adderal, ritilin, desoxyn, and others can be crushed into a powder and snorted like you would snort cocaine. The benefit is the high kicks in faster and is more intense, but as a drawback the high wears off quicker

What I just said also is true for narcotic pain killers, with the ones that are most desirable being oxycontin and roxiecet. These drugs also can be made into a liquid and injected with a needle and the high you get from it is very similar to heroin because these drugs and heroin are very similar and from the same family of drugs.

Once again there is a family of drugs called barbiturates that aren’t very popular anymore but in the 60’s and 70’s were everywhere and they are responsible for many deaths including Marilyn Monroe, the girl from wizard of oz, jimi hendrix, and a whole list of people who died because the drugs are easy to take too much and kill you. Marilyn Monroe had a Nembutal suppository up her butt and a whole bunch of Nembutal pills in her body that she had swallowed when she was found dead and later declared to have died of accidental overdose.

You can do cough syrup and alcohol, but I prefer cough syrup and a benzo drug like valium, xanax, ativan, etc. You can also take the benzo drug without the cough syrup and it will get you high.

People also abuse the common allergy drug benedryl which can cause hallucinations and really impair you to the point where you can’t stand up.

Another is a group called tricyclic antidepressants which is tested for on an average drug test for some reason that idk because all they do is make you sleepy and crave carbs before you fall asleep while having an eating binge. I have taken these drugs and I don’t see the appeal.

There are more I am sure I can’t remember.
