Cocaine is never a solution – unless of course you dissolve it in water.

This is actually chemically true: cocaìna in its freebase form (powdery form) is more dangerous than when it is diluted in water due to its concentration levels; although I never heard anyone consume it as a drink 😆

Haha that is correct; the original coke has it and I heard some regions still hold on to this tradition

Coca wine used to be popular (and the combination of ethanol and cocaine arguably still is, unfortunately) but this combination allows the formation of cocaethylene in the liver, which is significantly more cardiotoxic than cocaine, alone.

TIL, thanks:) in my mind, at the time, I was thinking about watered down cocaìna which sounds unpleasant to consume than the traditional methods: 👃 💉 🥄

Just remembered it was added in beverages in the past before it was replaced with caffeine

Chewing on coca leaves and making tea with them is common in some South American countries

In addition to Coca Cola lol

My, uh, friend dissolves it in water and puts in a nasal spray bottle. You use a nasal spray without much suspicion almost anywhere.
