Why does eating make the high better?

Question

when taking legal pills with friends (and spending the night just takling and haing a great time) you should eat alot, then just before taking them, i was wondering why this made the high better...? because drinking is the opposite...

Answer 1

The pills active ingredients are probably water soluble, so they get washed out with water, but when mixed into food stay in the system long enough to get metabolized.
