I read on a site that you should wait 12 mos to give if you have used Cocaine or other street drugs. This is the info I found:
Wait 12 months after using cocaine or other street drugs through your nose before attempting to donate blood. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis and HIV. Learn more about hepatitis and blood donation.

I think it depends on what drugs you did and how long ago you did them. If something is going to affect the quality of the blood in some way, obviously it's no good to anyone. For example I can't give blood as I've had Hepititus A and Typhoid in the past, so my blood for others is not really healthy enough.

basically because for any drug to have an effect it needs to enter the blod stream. drugs snorted will be absorbed through the mucous membranes in your nose and enter the blood that way. Same principle as when you smoke the chemicals are also absorbed into the blood.

drug abusers shouldn't be allowed to give blood at all regardless if you have snorted them or just orally taken the drugs.

because something may go wrong with the person whom you are giving the blood to.
