I saw this on www.ravesafe.org :
"There are numerous reports in medical journals about permanent and irreversible lung tissue damage related to the injection of crushed Ritalin tablets. When snorted, the salts used in Ritalin tablets turn into hydrochloric acid when they come into contact with moisture. While this is not a problem in the stomach, in the nasal passages the acid can "burn" the delicate nasal tissues, resulting in open sores, nose bleeds, and possibly in deterioration of the nasal cartilage."
