Dear all,
It was my understanding, from a drugs perspective that 'snorting' drugs such as Cocaine is considerably more 'effective' as it gets whatever your taking into your blood, without having to go through the stomach and all the bodies natural defenses that are there to stop you... well dying from food poisoning.
Accordingly, if I have a character who is concerned about a suicide pill killing them as quickly as possible, is it reasonable to have them snort their suicide powder, as opposed to swallow it?
Whilst I assume that there are enough poisons that will kill you sufficiently quickly that it doesn't really matter, but the premise is that the character in question is 'superhuman' and is therefore concerned that they will be 'too tough' for conventional poisons?
Thoughts,
Pentagon
