What I didn’t get, is why would you use half and half? I’m not sure what the objective here is, but if I was going to experiment with adding baking soda to a snuff, I would add just a little bit, not half and half.
That doesn’t sound rite to get a strong buzz with half the nicotine and a basically inert substance like sodiom bicarbonate. most snuffs are nuetral and have a ph of 7 to 7.5 or so . I could be wrong but that’s like diluting the tobacco and raising the ph a little ,baking sodas ph is 8.2 . I think the buzz was from changing the ph in ur brain .u live and learn I guess.What I would have done was extract nicotine with a solvant , filter and dry and have pure nicotine to snort.nicotine crystaline powder! I’ll work on it .
Baking soda makes the nicotine absorb rate go up… way up. You might want to hold off on the nicotine powder… it would be like taking poison, possibly deadly.
Yea nicotine is poisen but I would have to eat 15 grams of tobacco or equivelant in nicotine to begin to start dying depending on ur tolerance.I would only use about a gram of tobacco to screw arould with if even that much.
This interests me greatly. I doubt I will try it, but it just sounds amazing. I do have some baking soda sitting around though… ~Ken
Anything for the name of science!
I was catching a slight buzz when I cut my tobacco out of the field-pretty nice actually! There again, I’ve heard that’s something you must also be careful of, the absorption factor.
Ive tried getting my hands wet and spreading brutons on them, but it didn’t do anything to me. I wonder how long you need to keep it there?
I think that baking soda experiment messed you up more than we realized.
@Xander LOL !! When I was reading his experiment , I was picturing mrmaroon’s upper sinuses like a coffee percolator…very funny!!
You crazy guys!
I agree w/ toffeenose. Someone is going to kill themself.
the body is pretty bad at apsorbing nicotine from the leave. So adding something that makes it easier to absorb could be very dangerous. If anyone kills themselves with a stupid snuff experiement I’ll personaly kill them again becuase if that happens no matter how stupid you are being, guess what will happen? Thats right you’ll have given perfect fuel to jerk-offs to point out the dangers of this new tobacco product.
I’d like to point out I was only kidding about making some kind of extraction form of nicotine and I don’t suggest anyone fool with this stuff because it is highly poisonous and is deadly in high doses and such extractions and enhanced methods of administration should only be done with safer ,more enjoyable plants and substances 
hey guys , what the hell is baking soda? 
Here you go Ap
I just want to point out that not once during this “experiment” did I feel my life was threatened in any way. I also don’t feel I did any wrong by trying it, I am an adult. I think the posts about people killing and dying were more of a joke than anything.
@matsnuffs Thanks for the link buddy.
mrmaroon, nope. I wasn’t joking, although I WAS (probably rightly) assuming you wouldn’t go so far as to kill yourself. You definitely can kill yourself basing nicotine. For those of you who want to up the absorption rate, DMSO. It makes things absorb through your skin. A lot. But as mentioned above, don’t get carried away. We don’t want to add more fuel to the anti-tobacco fire.
@ap, My pleasure! I know that this was just an experiment, and I found the results fascinating, but I also agree that we probably shouldn’t be free basing our snuffs, for a variety of reasons! Oh my, what the anti-tobacco folks would say if they discovered snuffers doing this regularly!
