Cocaine using methods: ​

• Intranasal; ​
• Smoking;​
• Oral; ​
• Intravenous.​

Intranasal is the most common way to use cocaine and many other powders from dark markets, but is quite unpleasant regarding of side effects and can cause problems with the nasal mucosa, inflammation of the nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, the back wall of the pharynx and perforation of the nasal septum.

Smoking is a method of using "crack". The dosage with this method of application can be very low, and the effects are bright and instantaneous. Duration is for 20-30 minutes. The tolerance of neurotransmitter receptors grows incredibly fast with this method of use. Also, problems with the respiratory system could be actual by often using.

Oral method of use is not popular. Almost no one uses cocaine with "bombs," capsules, or dissolving in water. The dose of cocaine increases significantly in this method of use and helps keep the nose and lungs intact, but you can harm the stomach.

Intravenous method is rarely used too. Dosages are lower than recommended. Something similar to smoking method. The effect occurs immediately, but for a short period of time.

• Do not use the same banknote, try to avoid using of banknotes altogether. It is best to use straws from the juice.​
• Rinse your nose with water after using cocaine. It is recommended to dissolve a little sea salt in water and rinse with such a solution. But do not abuse this rinsing method.​
• Do not forget that it is impossible to abuse smoking narcotics, it is necessary to take long breaks and breathing exercises.​
• Do not forget that you do not need to use it on an empty stomach when you do it by capsules or "bombs". Necessarily after eating, but not earlier than 2 hours.​
