When using drugs, the slowest bodily response comes from eating/ingesting the substance whereas the fastest bodily response comes from snorting?

Respuesta :

The slowest drug absorption/response is definitely oral/digestion route.

The fastest drug response time route would be intravenous, the drugs directly enter the blood so it can work instantly. Snorting/inhaling drug still need time to be absorbed to the blood vessel. It might be fast enough if used for local response (example: asthma). The mechanism probably by mucosa diffusion so its similar to rectal or sublingual route.
