What is Cocaine?
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that originated from the coca plant and is commonly found as white powder or crystals (also known as “crack”). When snorted, smoked, or injected, it produces an instant spike of pleasure followed by a forceful comedown. Cocaine has been misused for more than a century, having been historically prevalent in the 80s and 90s.
There are two types:
1 • The smokable “freebase.”
2 • The water-soluble hydrochloride salt.
How Is Cocaine Used?
People take cocaine in many different ways, such as
• Inhaled through the nose with powder (snorted).
• Orally
