Insufflation Limits?

[Lizard King 420]

I've been thinking about this lately, and was wondering if there is any amount of insufflation that the human body should not be pushed passed. Not necessarily all at once, but over time. the only thing im snorting is focalin, or dexmethylphenidate, and i try to switch off between blowing and parachuting it, but im curious if i should be blowing it less frequently. I use it no more than 5 times a week, and only rail about one pill each time. advice is appreciated

depends on the persons body i believe. your nose will get ruined over time from puttin shit up there. how long until then? ...i dont think anyone can answer that with certainty.

Pills shouldn't be snorted because they also have binders and fillers that can sometimes prove fatal if ingested over a long period of time (research opana insufflation).

Pure chemicals usually have never given me a problem, but I'm not the biggest snorter in the world. Listen to your body, your intuition, and your doctor wherever possible.

If it burns intolerably it might be a bad idea, but I don't know of actual cases where the pain was a solid indicator of nasal damage (IE: 2c-x drugs). But pills are definitely a no no.

The binders and fillers in the pill will do damage to your sensitive nasal passages over time. The "limits" are reached when you start getting issues. Nose bleeds, sinus infections, deviated septums and the like. The best way to never reach those "limits" is to impose limits of your own, IME.

Stick to oral for your dexmethylphenidate.

If you ever meet up with an old coke head you will notice that their nostrils are completely destroyed. Some of them are left with basically one nostril.

Of course this is related to daily use for a long period of time.

When I used coke regularly, I'd suffer badly after a long session, first with a blocked nose then with nose bleeds, Mephedrone however, which I was getting a a much purer substance gave me hardly any issues.

I've snorted crushed pills in the past and always found it a little disappointing and sometimes painful, sublingual seems the best root for pills IMO

thanks for the replies, ive never had a nosebleed because of insufflation, and it doesnt burn to much, but i think that its time to stick to parachuting

Vasoconstricting drugs (cocaine, but also amphetamines) are especially bad for the nose as they restrict blood supply and can cause necrosis of the septum. It's a really good idea not to insufflate them too often, and think about using a nasal douche or something.. and yeah, snorting pills, think about how much inactive crap is going to end up in your nose and sinuses. Parachuting sounds like a better plan if you're doing it 5 times a wek

Focalin XR is actually a lot cleaner than most other pills you can snort but over a long time it might cause some issues. The problem with Focalin is that it's so smooth, you don't realize how much you're snorting. Just remember to rinse your nose with warm water every once in a while
