No you may not, I'm assuming since it's beads it is an extended release formulation. DO NOT, and i mean DO NOT under any circumstance chew, crush, smash, grind, etc. an extended release medicine. ESPECIALLY something as potent as morphine. You will get an extremely high dose and to be frank, you will probably die. morphine is only used in extreme circumstances for a reason. don't mess with it.
^ This is a little scaremongering from the previous answer. You can of course crush up the beads into fine powders and mix into water based solutions or even for the purposes of insufflation. The dosage is the important factor to pay attention to. For example - a time release morphine capsule may contain 60mg of morphine. This is quite a high dose, crushing the beads and ingesting all at once could be dangerous. However, crushing the beads and ingesting say a third of what you have would likely be a lot safer.
For the record, even at the high dose of 60mg you are unlikely to die. To say you would 'probably die' is irresponsible and needlessly frightening to novices.

Can you crush focalin?
If you are dead set on superseding the time release, then yes, you must crush the little beads within to inhale the powder. To do this you must use a mortal and pestle or put the beads in one or two plastic bags and crush with hammer until suitable. If you use one plastic back, there's a chance it will rip and you will lose substance. Beads are very hard and if you place under a book or something and try to bust them, they may explode everywhere.
