Why do coke users touch their nose so much? Is it runny? Does it itch? :shrug:
James Brown, Millionaire, Did So Much Cocaine His Nose Collapsed

Cocaine is a hell of a drug, and this guy nose it.(http://i.huffpost.com/gen/791737/thumbs/r-JAMES-BROWN-COCAINE-large570.jpg)
A millionaire with a taste for expensive cars and exorbitant amounts of cocaine was arrested when police found a huge drug stash in his Bentley convertible, Wales Online reports.
James Brown (yep), 45, of southwest Wales, reportedly really likes cocaine. He did so much cocaine on a daily basis that his nose has deformed and collapsed, the news site reported.
Last week, he was sentenced to five years in jail after cops found $277,000 worth of cocaine stowed away in his car's air vents and folding roof mechanism. At the time of his arrest, he was staying in a luxury hotel where investigators also found a collection of illegal guns and more cocaine, the Daily Mail reported.
In court last week, a judge heard how Brown used legitimate money to fund his cocaine problem. But the drug led to paranoia -- and a deteriorated nose -- so he bought the haul of weapons to defend himself. The guns included a 9mm semi-automatic Walther PP1 pistol, which is similar to the gun used by James Bond, according to the Herald Sun.
Brown admitted to everything, prosecutors said.

Cocaine & Nose Worries - Plz Help!!!
I have used Cocaine now for around 6 months. I have used only at the weekend but have went on weekend binges.
For the last month, my nose has been blocked up and I have been constantly been sneezing and having to blow my nose.
What I found last week has put me of the drug for life. My nasal passages are much wider than they used to be and the septum (middle bit of my nose) is now much much thinner than it was.
This has really worried me and I am never going to touch any kind of drug again. In fact it has totally scared me to the point Iam worried about it every hour of every day.
That’s why I have come here.
I suppose the main question I have is will my nose get any worse even though I have have stopped using cocaine completely?
I have done a bit of research into this and have found out that cocaine constricts blood vessels in the nose which can cause tissue in your nose to die.
This is what I think has happened to me.
I have bought a saline (salt water) nasal spray and am using this to help keep my nose clear and moisturised. (Someone did tell me that these nose sprays can constrict the blood vessels in your nose further) Any truth I this?.
Also I have stopped smoking and am visiting the steam room in hope this will also help moisture my nose.
Is there anything else I can do to help my nose.
Please help me because I am really worried about this.
Will my nose get any worse even though I have stopped using cocaine?
It is amazing to me what people will do to their bodies for their addictions.
I touch my nose a lot too. It's because I have hay fever in the spring and summer. :pondering:
