Negative health issues with snorting?

What are the general health drawbacks to snorting anything? I just got concerta and heard its just like coke if you snort it. THe only thing Im worried about are dosages (I only have 18mg pillz) and the negative health effects of snorting it. Im 6ft 2inches and I weigh 170lbs so what kind of dosages should I be dealing with (how many pills) and again what are the drawbacks health wise? Thanks to anyone who helps.

i dont snort shit, but from what peopel ahve told me, it can fuck up ur nasal passage, and like kills braincells like a bitch, but what doesnt these days?

snorting anything will fuck with your nasal passage. ANYTHING. Depending on what, and how much you snort can cause serious brain damage. Unless you know someone that has done it, and survived, I wouldn't try snorting it.

Let us know how it turns out though.

yeah if you want to snort people can (well I can) always tell if someone has been for awhile they are always sniffing their nose. I clean at a court house some time and these crack heads come in an sniffing using their one call to call for coke once they get out.
it will cause cancer (just like everything else today) haha

do whatever you want though

i do coke ocasionally and it will sort of make you feel like your catching a cold the next day and you'll probably have a runny nose..but it depends..thats only when i do a line almost every 45 mins over like a 5 hour period.

i seen nosebleeds, leisions that break through and eat yr nose, and dudes with only half a schnoz.
some extreme exmples sure...

yeah its stupid...i only snort pills once in awhile....i have laced some schwag with coke once and i liked the feeling but i have been a little cautious of snorting it.

Snorting coke is 'better' for you than smoking it....when it's all said and done. X_X

Either way, it's bad. Snorting pills is even worse. I mean, take a pill that only has .25mg of alprazolam in it....then compare it to a pill that has 20mg of diazepam in it....the valium is smaller, no? Just imagine the extra shit you're putting up your nose that holds the pills together/etc. The colors, the bondings, and the drug are all bad for you in the first place....so why do the worst thing (well, I suppose you can start smoking your pills) humanly possible to injest it?

ok well i'll tell you this, i've been snorting stuff for awhile, and i can stick my pinky all the way up in my nose.....what kinda health risks do you think that is? and i know that snorting stuff (other than the drug side effects) has something to do with seizures, like it causes them or somthing.

If you use it long term you will definitely screw up your nose. Have you seen Yasmime Bleathe from Baywatch? She looks so different-it's very sad. Her nose is smaller because it ate away at the lining. She also almost died-the doctor told her if she didn't stop she had sone so much damage to her nose that she would die. She went back on it but ended up in rehab. I watched a show on her and it was very interesting. Long struggle-and LOTS of money.

I knew a person who would buy a bag of cheap straws at like dollar tree-cut them real small and use them to snort when he had to. Easier than rolling up a dollar bill.

Just be careful-you will feel like you can do so much-and you will be all happy.
Try to find something at a health store that gives you energy but doesn't cost that much. Unless you dont mind paying that much.

Do you have someone you can trust that you get it from?

Take care!

I have a blister thing in my nose from snortin shit. It hurts, but i still snort through it, lol.

Sounds like this is your first time snorting something. Snorting something once every blue moon isn't gonna leave you with a Michael jacksonish nose. Snorting coke (or whatever) every few hours, every single day will mess up your nasal passages and you risk other nasal problems. But then again, there are coke addicts who snort like crazy and have no nose problems at all.

The reason ppl snort is to allow the drug to affect you quickly and affect you more strongly (bc it absorbs better through the thin lining of your nose rather than having to sit in your stomach). There are other ways of achieving this, like sticking it up your butt (your anal passage has thin linings as well). Suppossedly, the butt method gets you the highest...but I'm still weary of doing it that way.

I know some people who got holes in they noses.

make sureyou get the coating off the pill off... most pills have like a shell coating... don't sniff that!!
