TLDR; participants with cocaine history were administered caffeine IV. At high doses (300mg) they reported some mild euphoria, and a strange taste and/or smell.

Ask HN: aside from caffeine, what is the drug of choice around here?

I had heard that there's a community of people who insufflate caffeine on Reddit, but this one is news to me.

Seems a little funny to go through all the trouble and extreme stigma of injecting yourself with an IV drug, only to pick ground up coffee beans as your poison of choice (!)

The study is interesting mostly for the fact that someone tried it, but ultimately the results don't show a very strong effect. I wouldn't put too much confidence in how well it would replicate either, these kind of studies can have a lot of variation.

>Every drug seems to have a “right” way to take it. You [...] booty bump ecstasy

That is not really typical. People normally eat it as ecstasy pills, or as MDMA powder.

Most recreational drugs can be taken rectally, that usually makes for a higher bio-availability and a faster peak plasma concentration. Some people do that a lot, with everything. It is not specific to ecstasy, that I know of.

A paramedic friend advised that if you ever end up in the hospital in a lot of pain, always opt for the suppository.

Was the footnote there when you wrote this comment?

>Most people consume ecstasy by mouth, but I’ve heard from many that anal ecstasy is a more satisfying experience.

I think the author was being a little facetious.
