Hey, so I snort my d. I snort anywhere from a gram to two in a day... which equates to a lot of powder


lately, I've been having trouble breathing after taking down ~4-6 lines... and it won't get any better for a couple of hours..

my friend tells me it's because the dope is coating my lunges making it hard for them to 'capture' oxygen


what can I do? :(
 
im not an expert but im pretty sure thats your body tellin you that you have done too much. too much opiate can cause respiratory problems. i doubt its the powder making it all the way to your lungs.

see, even if it's my first dose it happens of the day it happens.. o_O

and the main thing is I've been doing this much for a long time now.. why would I get respiratory problems now?
 
If you are having trouble breathing that is a bad sign. Slowed breathing could be caused by respiratory depression - are you talking about heroin? And it is also possible that the powder is getting into your lungs. Perhaps you need to switch to a different route of administration and stop snorting for a while.

drink some water and laugh so it goes down the wrong tube

That is terrible advice!

it's not slowed breathing..


It's that I can't fucking get a full breath


as if my lungs are ya know

covered in some shit :p


for example.. it's like I cannot get a breath of air that is refreshing.. I keep going and going

I can breath as fast as I want.. that's not the issue ;/

So do you mean your breathing is shallower than normal, or that no matter how deeply you breath you feel like you are not getting enough air? I would definitely stop snorting.
 
Go find a CO2 cafe - spend the whole day sucking oxygen, no matter if its the price of 3 or 4 bags...
Not really (all day) but catch my drift ?
 
try running the hottest shower you can with the door shut and no fan on. MAYBE the steam will loosen it or make it more absorbable? just an idea
