How long does it usually take for people to get damage to their nose from snorting? Does it vary alot from person to person?
Because basically i know plenty of people who snort stuff all the time and have done for a long time and they don't have any noticeable damage, but for afew months i snorted about one crushed e a week and about 6 lines of coke in that whole time and my nose felt like it was fucked, was it all in my head?
Any info on the damage would be useful thanks, i can't find anything anywhere!

Your nose may have felt this way due to the binders etc in the pills, or other inmpurities in your substances.
One person I know has been snorting cocaine for years, and I would describe him as having problems with his nose....
In other words it takes time for damage to occur, and from a few months use I wouldn't worry.
Take it easy and your body will forgive.
Yes,many a time and i've now realised it's a waste of time and just hurts your nose, it's better off just eating them.
oh god, brings back some awful memories sniffing e's, fucking waste o time.
exactley, it only took me one blue playstaytion to realise it was daught. that and having blue bogeys, what a fucking party trick though, oy, iv got blue bogeys
bastard, i was looking everywhere for them, bit of an urban myth round ere
my other mate doesn't go out mcuh at all anymroe and after last weekend she started having nosebleeds again.
how do you lot mean that snorting pills is a waste of time? i know it's bad for your nose but *touch wood* i seem fine so far and i get a lot more buzz out fo it then eating a pill.
they are a decent dose of good quality mda, there was loads of em round here about 2 month ago, i got bored with them quite quick, i prefer mdma
A couple years ago there were plenty of blue, red and green playstations round my way. They had the different markings on the back - X O square and triangle - as on the playstation controller.
Seems is the operative word here Maladjusted, if you snort anything you are doing damage to your nostrils.
JimV just pointed out this page on TheSite about coke and your nose that explains a bit of what happens.
But when it wears off it all floods back, causing blocked noses, which are difficult to shift except with more cocaine.
Also because you are damaging the mucus vescles its much easier for infections to get in and you end up having a lot more colds and chest infections.
oh i know that, under no delusions that snorting stuff is gonna be bad for your nose. just that he snorts shitloads of crap and there's no obvious damage, my other friend hardly ever does and gets nosebleeds.
which i found odd.
And thinking about it now, i'm sure the pills always hurt more to snort than anything else, which is right with what MR said about sharp bits.
I'm not sure how much point snorting the pills had, we'd only do them at the end of the night when we only had a little left, as an energy boost, seemed to do more than swallowing would at that point. But I was already fucked by then so i can't really judge how much affect they were having.
Most fairytales are fucked up and corrupted anyway so I don't see why their couldn't be
MDMA is a fairly nasty drug to be snorting, I would heavily suspect that its damage is on par with methamphetamine, they are after all very similar compounds.
The reason meth and amphetamine tend to hurt more than cocaine is because they dont have local anesthetic properties like cocaine does.
Orally it will absorb gradually and you will peak slowly, snorting is more effective and the drug gets into your blood stream quicker, smoking or IV is more effective still.
Because its quicker in the blood the quicker it will be out too, causing harsher comedowns.
Never had much of a problem with comedowns though, the biggest problem was thinking 'nooo i'm coming down, bring me back up!!' but the day after I'd feel really nice and peaceful. I think the comedown had a more negative effect as the week wore on.
Yea, that's def it.
The comedowns aren't the worst, handable. Some just can't handle them as well as others.
AH my head's up mi hole, need a toke, need a toke, cmon gavey giz a toke, cmon. guess who, haha
