Nasal drip—the chemical-flavored snot running down the back of your throat— is probably the most regularly occurring side effect after a slightly unhinged night of powder drugs. But what exactly is it?
First things first: when you snort drugs, your nostrils don't just funnel the chemicals directly into your brain.
Instead, your nose is highly concentrated with blood vessels, which absorb all those chemicals. The aftermath? Your nasal membrane will produce mucus—that drip you taste—to clear out all the gunk.
“The next morning, you don’t want drugs sitting in your nasal cavity, because when you’re breathing they're just going to go into your lung," warns a rep from drug testing site PillReports. "That’s where it could get dangerous – if someone had a throat issue and drugs went into their lungs, that could cause serious problems."
So there's no real way to *prevent* the drip – which is good, because it's your body clearing you out. But there are ways to make it less noticeable. “Do smaller lines,” says Dr Chloe Sakal, a substance abuse psychiatrist, “and make sure it’s really finely cut up. If it’s cut with things that are clumpy or are larger particles, that’s going to irritate the lining more."
All the experts we spoke to also recommended doing regular saline washes of the nasal passage to stop any leftover drugs causing unwanted mischief post-sesh. So there you have it: the drip is here to stay, but it’s actually just our regular bodily functions doing us a favor 😇
