      It’s not like dangerous or anything, but swallowing it means that more gets filtered out by your liver, so you get less effect.

      Yeah, sublingually means dissolving it under your tongue. Been a while since I did it because I switched to injections, and also there are different pills that react differently, but for me it took about a half hour. I think you can technically dissolve it in your cheek as well and it’ll work the same, but I don’t recommend it because it tastes awful and you’ll probably end up swallowing more of it
