However, when a man tried to remove cannabis, he accidentally pushed the cannabis capsule into the back of his nose. Because hemp never came out of his nose, the man assumed that he had swallowed it by mistake, and after a while he had completely forgotten about it.

A space called the nasal cavity extends in the depths of the human nose, and the sinuses adjacent to the nasal cavity are connected to the nasal cavity by a small hole. If bacteria propagate in the sinuses, it may cause sinusitis, and a hole leading to the nasal cavity may be blocked and pus may accumulate in the sinuses, or the airway may be blocked and breathing may be observed.

The capsule with cannabis pushed in by the man was stuck in the back of the nasal cavity, causing sinusitis and annoying the man after his departure for many years. Sinusitis became increasingly severe, and the symptoms worsened, especially when it was difficult to breathe on the right side of the nose.

There have been many reports of `` nasal stones, '' such as bone fragments and blood clots, hard boogers, plant seeds, beads, buttons, etc. It can be traced back to 1654. A 2007 study reported that ' opium wrapped in a nylon sheet' became a nasal stone and was removed from the back of an adult male nose. However, drug dealers and smugglers often “swallow the drug and hide it in the stomach” to make it easier to remove, and rarely bother to hide it in the nostrils. Therefore, the case where narcotics are taken out from the back of the nose as a stone is very rare.

In addition, when a man was shown some stones taken from a doctor and received some questions, he seemed to have remembered that his nose was stuffed with marijuana 18 years ago. Three months after surgery, the man reported to his doctor that the sinusitis he had suffered for more than 10 years was completely cured.
