Question about the harm in snorting Kanna Sceletium

[Ex to the periment]

Hello everyone,

I've started snorting kanna on a daily basis for a couple of weeks now, I like it and want to continue using it but i'm a little worried about the snorting part.
Any long term kanna snorters or anyone had bad experiences with snorting kanna?

Will my nose be damaged? my sense of smell? etc ?

Any feedback on the subject ?


Thank you all !

Despite the hamster, this is a serious question, looking for any info on snorting Kanna long term and any info on snorting in general.

f.e : Is snorting water in the long run harmful ? Is snorting in general harmful or is it totally depended on the substance ?

When i'm searching for info on snorting kanna I only find experiences and opinions, when i'm researching for kanna in general I found some sources who mention it's quite a harmless substance. However nothing to be found on whether snorting kanna would be dangerous in the long run.

Please don't use "your hamster" here - I know they do on other forums, but we don't use SWIM, my hamster, my pet elephant etc on BL - everyone knows you mean you (and if you don't, questions about giving drugs to animals are not allowed :D ) and it doesn't offer you any protection. Please edit your post

I don't know about kanna specifically, but snorting does have a few risks - you can irritate your mucous membranes and damage them if you are snorting something irritant/corrosive, your sinuses can get blocked up with crap and if you snort too hard particles can fly into your lungs - this is especially dangerous if you snort pills, as the fillers/binders can cause lung disease. If you snort something vasocnstricting like cocaine then it can damage your septum - the blood supply is reduced and the tissue can die, leaving a hole.

Using a water/saline nasal spray or douche after snorting can reduce some of these risks. Snorting water in itself isn't harmful, as long as it is clean water and you don't go overboard or start inhaling it into your lungs!
