As someone who has done a lot of drugs, nicotine having "no high" is just bs. Yeah it's mild, but take a few drags very quickly and find out.

I don't think nicotine is a bad drug, necessarily.

But smoking is a terrible way to take it. Lip pouches also have their detractions, with the wounds they create.

Perhaps the teas, or other drinks, or sprays are better. Or maybe salves, if nicotine patches do anything then a salve should work too, I'm guessing. I know there's bigger overdose risk, though. So they all will require the same personal responsibility approach as strong alcohol.

Ultimately I think legal access to strong nicotine products without the cancer issues of smoking is inevitable. But maybe only if we get to somewhere in the early 2100's, because I don't think it's happening soon.

Ah yes my daily nicotine coffee

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Likely not just daily. It has a short effective time.

Nicotine is poisonous when swallowed. A tea is a horrible idea.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you sure? I can't find anything specific to swallowing beyond dosage.

[–] nebulaone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My vape liquid has that skull warning symbol, says poisonous when swallowed and to see a doctor if that happens.

Might have to do with being a concentrated nicotine liquid for producing several doses, mate.

Smoked 2 cigs way back when.

Only coughed with no benefits.

Was it Clinton that didn't inhale?

Charlie Wilson.

Texas Democrat known for partying hard, and was investigated (by Rudy Giuliani) for a party he attended in Vegas.

"The girls had cocaine, and the music was loud. It was total happiness. And both of them had long, red fingernails with an endless supply of beautiful white powder...The Feds spent a million bucks trying to figure out whether, when those fingernails passed under my nose, did I exhale or inhale, and I ain't telling"

As like for many drugs, this search starts seeking pleasure and ends up, avoiding withdrawal with no high
