First of all, if you want to get anything from hydrocodone you'll need at least 30mg to catch a buzz, however 15-20mg combined with a bowl of marijuana will put you in a nice place.
Also keep in mind these pills contain more than just the active ingredients, they contain binders, fillers and waxes which should not be snorted or smoked. The inactive ingredients of these pills and the acetaminophen (which is not water soluble) will clog your nasal passages preventing much of the hyrdocodone from being absorbed, it will simply drip down into your stomach or remain in your nose until you blow it out.
What you want to do is a cold water extraction or parachute depending on how much you want to do. If you're going to take anymore than 4 pills which would be 30mg hydrocodone, 3000mg acetaminophen then you will want to do a cold water extraction because acetaminophen will not get you any higher and causes liver damage at high doses. Cold water extraction simply involves crushing the pills, placing them in a cup and adding some cold water enough to cover the crushed pills and some but not too much. Stir for a while and then drink the water which will taste bitter as fuck. Add more water and drink that too if you want to be sure you're getting all the hydrocodone you can.
If you're only going to do 4 pills or less parachute them, crush them up and wrap them in tissue then swallow.
