Snus OD

[Estonia]

Is snus overdose possible?

About the worst you'll get is nausea - a sick to your stomach feeling where you might feel light headed and feel like you want to throw up.

You can't really poison yourself with snus, your stomach pH will neutralize the nicotine and make it unavailable.

Try sticking a Thunder Frosted in the top left and top right. Then stick a Thunder Frosted in the bottom left and bottom right.

Make sure you're by a toilet.

Eh, 2 thunder frosted, 40 minutes, and I'll vomit :P

You didn't actually try it??????

We could all hold a competition which must be video'd as evidence. Who can puke last after inserting 4 Thunder Frosted (in one's mouth).

Nope,
1) I don't have 4 thunder frosted to waste
2) Even 2 thunder frosted can make me vomit
3) How about I neutralize my pH level in my mouth so no nicotine gets in

Jesus...I am amazed at the amount of nicotine people can take. I guess I'm a lightweight. I can't even have three sterks in a DAY. I always start w/ one and 50% of the days I'll have another one w/ coffee after lunch but if I try to take one in the PM forget it. I'll get ill.

The LD50 on nicotine is 1mg/kg I believe. That would mean that if you weigh 185 pounds and you actually could fit 53 ES portions in you'd have a 50/50 shot of death.

I don't think that you can practically OD on it but man oh man it'll make ya sick.

I've done that a few times and woke up with sticky white sheets. ops:

[Whitak3r]

When I first got my Thunder ES, a whole one made me sick. I have been cuttin them in half and using them lol.... 1 makes me sick almost.... I think I need more on the 8-10mg portions not 16mg.... I know for a fact I would get sick if I put in 2 at a time.

Hiccups.

I fell asleep drunk with one in. Woke up the next day and could not find it...Anyone else swallow a portion?

When I was first introduced to snus, General Los, I got extremely nauseous. I was driving and had to pull over. Started to sweat, and decided it would be good to eat something as I had an empty stomach at the time. So I very cautiously drove until I got to a Whataburger (southern fast food...extremely delicious.) I can only imagine the spectacle I was - a sweaty, pale as a ghost, kid who could barely verbalize my order. I ate, in between going to the restroom in anticipation that I might puke. After twenty minutes or so, I felt fine and went on my way, vowing to make smaller prillas.

Nowadays, when I really need the nicotine, I double barrel Thunder Frosted. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good or healthy thing to do, but consider it a lesson in how quickly nicotine tolerance can develop.

[Frosted]

Here's what I think. I believe that you do indeed build up some tolerance but I believe even more that your gums build up some kind of resistance which blocks the nicotine transfer somewhat after snussing for a couple of months. With fresh virgin gums you're going to soak the lot up - for instance when I change the Thunder Frosted to an area that I don't snus on - I get a huge hit whereas I don't normally get a huge hit on my normal gum site.

When I first ever did any snus, it was US Camel, and that knocked me for a loop, I was not used to oral tobacco at all, and had long quit smoking regularly. Even General mini mints made me ill, and I quit snus for a while because of all that. But I started on nasal snuff then, and got into that well, and then later retried snus, and eventually, got into it. Now I have an Oden's ESOP in, and I don't get the hit like it gave me when I first used it.

[Kvlt]

I've been in the habit of using 2 General Wintergreens at the same time. Feels like you've been hit by a bus (seems this stuff is stronger than other regular portions), but I've only gotten sick from nic a few times.

Protips: 1. Don't inhale a cigar 2. Don't smoke heavily while drunk (ie. chain smoking or hookah.)
