You replied to 9 year old post; just so you know.

Your friends who snort pills recreationally are substance abusers and that comes right before addiction. It's interesting that you defend the activity and take offense to the term "addict."

Are you having some issued with abuse?  Start your own thread and talk about it. We'll try to help.

Lets stay on-topic all. Morphine has varying bioavailability depending on the person and route of administration (unlike other popular opiates). To answer the question asked, snorting a prescription medication is "abusing" that med, aka not taking as directed. Your friend could have a serious problem or be experimenting, it's hard to say with the info given. Depending on your relationship with them, you may want to discuss the facts (they are abusing an opiate) with them...

Welcome to the forum.....

To answer your question yes they can be snorted, hell you can snort a Bayer
aspirin if you choose to....

The difference here is only addicts snort pills and they do it to get high.......

You witnessed an addict doing his thing......should you worry yes big time.....

He has a drug problem......

Completely untrue! I know people that snort opiates on a strictly recreational basis, like some people only smoke cigarettes when they drink. Saying that ALL people who snort pills are addicts is the same as actually sorting a pill-dumb.

Pretty much if it is a pill of almost any kind, they can be snorted..They just give you a much higher and much faster buzz is all...But i would say if your friend is snorting pills then YES he has a problem..

It's not something you do every day, snort pills so he has some kind of problem.  Best for you to get away maybe? (like on the fireworks, "LIGHT FUSE AND GET AWAY!"
