Long time back I saw someone demonstrate an needle free injection using osmosis (or reverse osmosis) on Discovery channel. It was pretty amazing and this article reminded me of that. Unfortunately I can't really find anything like that on Google right now. Can osmosis be used to inject drugs or is my memory completely incorrect?
