SE Asia #4 Really Rough on My Nose

[EMC (OP)]

Hey guys and girls, this will be the first thread I've started here. Lots of people will know me from the phile. For those that don't, I live in Asia and am an occasional user of H. For the past few years, I've kept it to five to ten times a year.

The dope here is a cream to light tan color powder, and I snort. While it's good quality, it can just destroy my nose when I go on a multi-day run. It gets really stuffy, like I have a bad cold. And the skin in my nostrils gets messed up. After I stop, it takes a few days to fully heal. It can be somewhat painful at points, and it makes the post-run depression even worse.

Does anyone have an experience like this with powder? In a way it's a blessing because it can really put me off using for a while. But I'd like to be able to use occasionally without the adverse side effects.

Any advice for me?

if it were me and I hate snorting, I'd learn to "chase the dragon".

I never thought I'd learn to use the meth pipe but with so much at stake, I've got the hang of it now and I'd rather smoke than shoot now.

is that an option for you ?

I've tried chasing over foil a few times. I'm sure my technique needs work, but I just never got as high from it (although the come on is pretty nice). And I don't live alone, and smoking makes noise and can leave black marks around. But it might be worth it. I'll try next time I get a bag. I'm interested if anyone else has had similar nose problems with powder.

most of the powder H i've seen didn't burn. Not not pharms or tylonal can burn no. It sounds like its being cut with something stupid. But that's only my opinion.

I would have the same problem every time I did coke which is just a few times because every time I would get sick after. I am pretty sure that I am allergic to a cut that is used a lot, because the day after snorting it my nose would be completely clogged where no air would come in or out on whichever side I used. The other side would be fine but the side I used would itch like crazy all the way down my nasal cavity and in my inner ear for a few days. It was the worst itch imaginable because you can't scratch it or get any relief. I could feel my entire nasal cavity and basically anywhere it touched would feel like it was scabbing up or drying out and itch. Afrin would clear up my nose so I could breathe and my doctor said that I had cellulitis after snorting because a cut would always appear in my nose on the inside and get infected every time I did it. I told the doctor my dog scratched the inside of my nose on accident and thats where the cut came from. It hurt really bad and would scab up and look infected. I always used mupirocin for the cut and afrin to help me breath but nothing would help the itch. I don't know if that is normal but I would always get sick and it happened every time I used coke so I have only done it a few times in my life. It even happened would I would rinse my nose out with water after each line and when I tried to make a water/coke solution in an old afrin bottle to snort. Is this anything like what your experiencing?

Coke did similar things to my nose, griffin.

As for the dope-
I feel like I already am prone to sinus probs so anytime I snort anything I'm stuffy and my throat dries out real bad.
Idk maybe you're just not equipped with optimal snorting orifices ; P
