In reply to Cocaine and nose lining, posted by AMD on March 12, 2005, at 19:42:38
Hello AMD. When you use, how much do you use? A gram or two? An ounce? Cocaine is a powerful drug and in my opinion causes serious impairment to thought processes, especially in the short-term. Because it has only been a few days since you last used, I would give it some time before scaring yourself into phobia about what damage has been done. On a slightly different note, also consider the possibility that damage to your nose lining is very highly likely with heavy long-term use. fyi, I was a binge user for a couple of years. It has been about 2 years since I last used. Hang in there.. cocaine is rough to recover from!
My two cents.
