I recently consumed an 8ball of k in crystal form over a couple of days. Now i am blowing out blood - this is not the first time this has happened. I make sure i crush the crystals to powder, is there any other way i can take the drug without injecting? If i continue to snort k will i lose the membrane like you would from too much coke? Yes i have gone on k binges but my consumption is not frequent is this normal?
 
Back when I used to insufflate K often I had frequent nose bleeds from it, its pretty normal especially for binges. And I am not sure if this was from all the K or the other more harsh chemicals i'd put up there, it may have been partial part of the cause but the upper cartilage of my nose seems to be quite loose and toggleable.
 
I have the same problem from crushed K crystal and I don't often snort other stuff nor is my K impure. Some people just seem more susceptable. A friend of mine who also does it regularly has never had a nosebleed.
I'm a bit concerned about lasting problems as well, clogged noses are a common side effect it seems, although that problem doesn't seem particularly persistent in my case.
 
With crushed crystal, I've found its best to crush it up as much as possible so it turns into a fluffy powder if you've got a sensitive nose.

As well as the fact it clogs up your nose, constantly blowing it + snorting leads me to have the occasional nosebleed when I'm doing it everyday.

I've had a few weeks off now and my nose is fine :)
 
I would suggest trying a dose orally. IV ketamine is a beautiful thing though, you should try it out to get to know K's true flavor.

I never had such a problem with such a nosebleed you are talking about. And if I had 3.5g of K, that shit would definitely last me a bit longer than "a few days" as you speak of it.

In fact, I think it would probably last me at least a month or two...how much K were you doing in such a short period? Were you doing it like it was coke, kept railing lines when you came back to reality and saw the plate of it in front of you again?

i feel stupid now for not realizing you were supposed to crush up the crystals.

HAHAHA...that must be very uncomfortable.

I would advise powdering the crystals as finely as possible [Use a perfectly smooth round glass cup on a mirror in a grinding motion], but you've probably already got you're own technique down. :)

i've never had that problem, and i've consumed nearly that much K in 2 days, though i've never had a real nose bleed from anything....especially K.
 
Yea what I do is dump the crystals on a mirror, then take card like a creditcard and drag the pile of crystals across the mirror while pressing on them. Scrape them a couple of times and the mirror can get cloudy or something (depending on the material), you will see that the texture gets more flour-like and you are good to go.

Washing your nose with a saline solution (ask MD) can be benificial and supportive of powder absorption.
Then again, just don't snort all day every day because the moment will come your cartilage tissue snaps and then you're causing trauma...
 
I don't know about cartilage snapping and stuff, but I do know from extensive experience that Ketamine binges cause nosebleeds. Don't fret though, it's nothing to worry about - your body has a remarkable ability to heal itself in even the worst of traumas.

If it makes it any better, I've had my nose broken in street brawls more times than I can remember, so I know already it is truely fucked from the get-go. I can only snort up one nostril because I have a 'misaligned nasal partition' as the doctors would have it. :-)

When it comes to the mucous membrane - again, it heals itself just like in any other part of your body. You just have to give it a rest for a while when you realise you are blowing a gram of K in one line and it doesn't throw you into the birth and death of the cosmos.

IM/IV K or any psychedelic would be fantastic I'm sure; however, I don't know about you but I cannot trust the purity of the products that come on to our streets around these parts. And some people don't have ready access to needles and syringes.

I would do the same apart from I would put a bank note on top of the crystals :)
