Heroin Snorting H and Nose Problems

[enviroking]

So recently ive been getting some bomb powder H here on the west coast. not exactly sure what type of H it is but definitely at least 2-3 times stronger than tar and just overall better high and cleaner etc.

anyway i dont have a huge tolerance so i usually clack up .1-.2 and do that throughout the day. i use baking powder but not alot just a pinch for this amount.

ive snorted oxy before and tar, and never run into any major nose problems. but this powder seems to majorly fuck my nose up. after only a couple uses it gets crusty and after a few days it will start hurting. i stopped for 4-5 days but was still snorting oxy or tar and saw considerable improvements. lately ive been also trying to make sure to clean my nose and i use saline spray and try to remove any residue with a soft tissue but im still having the same problem along with the part of my nose thats closest to the outside getting dry as well as crusty.

the stuff is bomb but i am really starting to hate the effects i get.

btw my friend also does the same stuff and he uses way more than me id say close to a gram a day also snorting and he says he used to have similar problems but once he started to clean his nose every night it went away.

anyone have any insight first off why this is happening and second what else can i do to alleviate it?

If it is good quality powder, why do you find it necessary to add baking powder to the mixture? That will CERTAINLY dry your nose out as well as clog it. It could be what is called 'gunpowder', which is more or less tar that is just cut with something to dry it out and make it snortable. I am from the east coast though so somebody else may be more knowledgeable on the subject. That aside, cleaning your nose with saline spray is always a good idea, and doing so during/after sessions should decrease dryness/stuffiness.

I thought it was the baking powder as well but when i get tar I use a lot more baking powder than with this stuff as tar is sometimes complicated to break down and while i do get some nose problems it is nothing like this weird-yellow-sticky crust. And my nose isnt clogged per se as much as the very opening is affected. It usually worst in the morning.

Almost feels like its eating away at it because of the ph level i dunno?

It definitely isnt the gunpowder people try to sell on the street which like you said is just tar that has been cut basically. I have a very reliable hook and what i get is vastly superior in quality to gunpowder at least here on the west coast.

Lol, if you're referring to what else can you do to stop your nose from getting fucked up, the answers obvious..

Stop sticking shit up your nose that makes it feel like shit! ​

What would you rather do, snort oxy and some tar the rest of your life, or never get to snort shit again because you fucked up your nose so bad from a few months of a good high? Your friend sounds like he's already done some considerable damage to his nose.. It's pretty damn simple, if its hurting that damn bad, it probably doesn't belong there.. Like snorting fucking Vic's or some shit, damn..

Save your $ and get something that won't fuck up the only nose you have for the rest of your life..

Not sure if I caught you in a bad mood but honestly don't appreciate the tone you are using when I am just trying to inform myself better. If you don't know about what I am asking maybe you shouldn't post here.

And no its not like snorting vics this is actually meant to be snorted more than any other ROA.

Something else i want to make clear is that it does not feel INCREDIBLY bad, I obviously stop when it gets to a point I feel is too much (if you read my whole post you would see that), but it is very inconvenient.

Lol, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as a complete douche.. (;

I'm just saying, if its doing that to your nose, it's probably causing harm and IMO isn't worth it.
I rather spend my $$ on something safe that isn't going to cause annoying side effects and pain. & I know it's nothing like Vic's, I was comparing the side effects. I just don't feel you should be sticking shit up your nose that causes those side effects, it has to be doing something bad up there to be causing you these side effects..

Sorry for the first post.. Lol, but if you want to continue to do the stuff, you already know the best advice we can give you. To clean it out every night.

Good Luck! ​

Xoxo,

as above, cutting in baking powder is definitely not going to help... i find the best remedy to this kind of irritation is to, before bed, swab out each nostril with a wet Q-tip two or three times then try to blow your nose as hard as possible a few times, just to clear out any residues as much as you can. if you want to go harder, you can get a neti pot or something. just using the Q-tip method before bed has probably eliminated 98% of this sort of irritation for me, even on the worst of cut up bags (ECP, not dessicated tar, so, ymmv)... i think some skin flaking is inevitable, though, just comes with the game... maybe try lotion or vaseline if it bugs you.

Edit: Cupcakes, rainbows, and butterflies.

The only damage I've ever done in years of snorting opiates is the occasional sinus infection, which I cannot even be certain is from the drugs.

Why are you adding baking powder? Heroin is very water/lipid soluble so when snorted it should easily enter the bloodstream via the mucous membrane. Baking soda on the other hand would just sit clogging your nose, as well as adding a nasty drip and probably a burning sensation. Is their a specific reason you are cutting your h with baking soda ... :/

edit: oh wait are you mixing it with a bit of baking soda and a bit of water and water lining it? Does this neutralize the PH or something?
If not, I don't think just mixing the two powders and then snorting them will do anything to alter the PH, common sense tells me water would be neccesary as well.
