Meth may be administered intravenously, smoked, snorted (sometimes termed "railing"), or hot-railed (a mix of smoking and snorting). Among the various possible drug use behaviors, snorting meth has recently gained popularity.

One significant benefit of snorting meth is that it avoids the transmission of blood-borne viruses like HIV and hepatitis that may occur when injecting the drug. In addition, compared to injecting or smoking meth, the effects of snorting the substance continue for 6-12 hours longer.

The danger of becoming dependent on meth is further heightened by the practices of injecting and inhaling the drug. The threat of addiction is still considerable for someone who snorts it, even though the risk is lower than for those who use alternative routes of administration.

Irrespective of how it's taken, meth is always pretty potent due to the rush of dopamine it causes in the brain, mainly if it's a regular part of your routine.

There is less of a chance of becoming addicted if you snort meth than by injecting it, but it is still unsafe. In many cases, those who start using the drug by snorting may eventually inject or smoke it.
