Ingestion(take the pil into your mouse and swallow, liquidsyruptsetc) when it goes to digestive system, it will be broken down there and go to the blood stream. Some will take longer and go to intestine. This is slowest method of absorption but also one of the safest. Inhalation (smoking, nasal absoptioninhalation) something like cocaine, this is fast since it is directly inhaled into the system thus the speed of effect is monderate to v. fast. In other words, faster it goes to the bloodstream, faster it is the effect. Peripheral(needle,etc) intramuscular is slowest out of the peripheral types while intravenous is the fastest due to direct injection in the blood stream.
