Oh boy: I feel like my mother, but here it goes... Don't snort cocaine. It's bad for you. (not to mention, it's illegal). The nosebleed is a common side effect, and can progress to destruction of the septum over time with repeated use. More importantly, Cocaine has a high risk of cardiac effects, including heart attacks at a young age.
