Cocaine is commonly used in several ways, depending on its form. The powdered form (cocaine hydrochloride) is typically snorted (inhaled through the nose) or sometimes dissolved and injected. Another form, crack cocaine, is processed into small crystals and smoked, which allows it to reach the brain more rapidly. The different forms and methods of cocaine use affect how quickly the drug’s effects are felt and how long they last.
