I was a drug user for 5 years and my main choice was coke. I love sniffing after a while I was sniffing heroin,pills, coccaine.Now that I have stopped my nose is now falling apart in humongous pieces and it looks like my actual inside of my nose but then again with the amount and the sizes of them I feel like it is impossible.
