So I used to have a bad habit of picking my nose until it bled (gross I know) and I eventually got a perforated septum because of it. I've since had surgery and no longer pick my nose but now I'm wondering about the effects occasional drug insufflation (three times a month or so) would have on the septum; would the negative effects be greater now because of the previous perforation, lesser now because of the scar tissue or would doing it so rarely make the negative effects practically non-existent (as was the case before)? Thanks.

It depends on what kind of drug you want to snort; cocaine eats away at the septum more than other drugs.

Hi Quux,
I don't think there is a definitive answer to this question. I could see how with excess 'tough' scar tissue damage from snorting might be minimized, however since you've already had problems with your nose the best advice is to leave it alone. Snorting only occasionally as it seems you are doing is a great start. I'd also recommend looking up snorting a liquid solution as opposed to solid compounds and plugging as an alternative (and very similar) method of dosing.

This sounds almost like a troll, but I could (hopefully) be wrong.
As for your snorting issue, I would refrain from snorting powders up your nose, especially cocaine and methamphetamine since they are very harsh and rough on the nasal passages. If you are dead set on nasal administration, I HIGHLY recommend that you make an liquid solution, and use a nasal spray bottle to administer your drugs.
This way you will minimize the risk of getting powder caked onto your septum, which will in turn dry it out, as well as cause the blood vessels to constrict to the point of more tissue damage. This is especially likely with cocaine, as it is rather caustic to nasal passages. Making an liquid solution is very simple, just need some basic math skills and a little time and you're good to go.
There are a number of good guides on bluelight on how to do this. If you need help finding one let me know and I will help you out.

I never really did a lot of coke or meth; I was mostly curious about benzos and ADHD meds.
I don't suppose there's a chart or graph somewhere that shows which drugs are easier/harsher on the nasal passages?
Anyway thanks for the replies; I'll look into the liquid solution thing.

I would highly suggest either plugging or just going to oral administration. If you must do not snort any solids. Make the liquid solution as others have suggested.
I imagine that the adhd meds are pretty abrasive but I can't be sure. Stimulants tend to be.
Benzos just don't make a lot of sense to snort IMO.

Do not snort benzos.. There is absolutely no reason to snort benzos. Most of them are not water soluble, and will not be absorbed in your mucus membranes. So if you snort xanax, it will all just drip into your stomach and not be any different than eating it. So other than the novelty of snorthing shit, it is pointless. The oral bioavailability is so high for most benzos, taking it orally is the best way to do it. There are a few water soluble benzos, but I HIGHLY doubt you have access to them.
As for adderal or dexedrine, etc [add meds], you can still make a liquid solution with those as well. You can make a liquid solution with basically any that is water soluble. It wouldn't work with benzos, though, so it would be a waste to try.

This!!
Coming from someone who has a snorting fixation you should listed to brokedown palace.
I even snorted opiates with a ton of APAP which everyone says not to do. But even I won't ever snort a benzo. It doesn't do any good. They just get stuck in your nose/drip down your throat and they work just as well swallowed. It is a total waste.

^Seconded...er...Thirded.
Don't snort benzos. Yeah, even those clonazepams with the nice menthol taste to them, they're designed to be orally used.
I personally don't even recommend snorting amphetamine ADHD meds such as Adderall, or in my case, Dexedrine... I've been crushing up the XRs and snorting that of late, bad news for your nose. Even worse news if your nose is already in bad shape.
I've experienced better effects with amphetamines (Dexedrine, Adderall) with oral use + an antacid. Anybody else remember the baking soda/Tums method?

I usually take 2-3 Tums (the ones with 750mg calcium carbonate in them, obviously the generic store versions work just as well) and it makes a 10mg dextroamphetamine instant feel like 15 or 20mg. Your mileage will probably vary. When I use this method, it is always on an empty stomach followed by lots of water.
Here's an old thread about using baking soda, among other things, to potentiate amphetamines. I can't personally say yay or nay for the baking soda method, as the Tums method always worked and I never saw any point in choking down baking soda
