This Is Why You Shouldn’t Do Cocaine

Eyes wide open, feeling ever so amazing, brilliant, light and Superman-ish is what some try to reach (and maintain) when they start snoring line after line of this super white powder.

However, what we see from the outside isn’t always as pretty when it comes to the inside.

This highly addictive drug just doesn’t seem to be as cool when you start looking at some of its major side effects. Check out this grim image and judge for yourself!

This not so pretty picture went viral when Dentist Howard Farran posted it on his Facebook page as a warning against using blow, describing it as ‘palatal perforation due to cocaine abuse’.

The website drugaddictiontreatment.com described the damage that the drug causes on the tissue:

“Cocaine snorting damages nasal health in several different ways.

Under the influence of cocaine, the sympathetic nervous system significantly narrows blood vessels throughout the body, including the vessels that send blood to the tissues in the nasal cavity.

Consequences of this narrowing include an increase in blood pressure and a drop in the amount of blood that can easily flow through the vessels at any given time.

Without their required blood supply, the tissues in the nasal cavity start to undergo destructive changes in their normal level of function and overall health.”

Now, remember this picture if someone ever offers you some Coc, because ladies and gents, crack IS wack! ugh!

Check out this disturbing video:

If you or anyone you know might have a problem with addiction, contact online resources such as Addiction Helper.

It Looks Like Just A Normal House, But Wait Until You Get A Closer Look!

Building your own house ‘brick for brick’ or ‘board for board’ definitely earns you bragging rights.

But in 1980, Edouard T. Arsenault decided to toss the bricks and the boards for another somewhat more unconventional material. One man’s trash is another man’s home.

It’s only 280 square feet. But what it lacks in size is made up in genius ingenuity.

As a viewer gets closer, they will start to notice something peculiar about those reflective colors surrounding the foundation of this home.

Oh yes, this house is made almost entirely from glass bottles!

desktop-1438291514
Image Source

Arsenault personally collected about 12,000 bottles and carefully constructed this home. It took 85 bags of cement to hold it all together.

Recycling all those bottles wouldn’t have given you enough money to buy a house. So it seems fair to consider this a good investment.

Arsenault built this at the age of 66. 66! That might seem reasonable to some people assuming he was in charge of a crew.

But nope, this was a solo project. And if that isn’t impressive enough, he built this in only six months!

In case you’re wondering, no, he didn’t drink all these in six months.

Ok, so even the most hardened of hearts might look at this craftsmanship and say, eh. To those difficult people I say this: there’s more.

Arsenault also constructed a bottle chapel. There’s the altar,

And even pews.

Image Source

There’s also a tavern. Cause why not?

Image Source

In the tavern you find more bottles that are not part of the structure, they’re ‘free-range’ bottles I guess you could say.

Image Source

During his quest for bottles, Arsenault became attached to certain unique bottles. He didn’t want these gems hidden away inside the wall, so he placed his favorite bottles on this counter.

And as a tribute to the giant bottle made from bottles that he saw in his daughter’s postcard, he made a giant bottle of his own.

Handiwork this creative was bound to gain publicity, and as such it became a popular tourist attraction. It was even featured on TV’s Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. If you’re interested in venturing off the coast of Canada to Prince Edward Island and taking a look at this marvel for yourself, visit the house’s website for visiting information.
